Former MasterChef host John Torode celebrated a significant wedding milestone with his wife, Lisa Faulkner, by posting a heartfelt tribute on social media to honor their anniversary. The well-known chef, aged 60, and his actress partner, aged 53, marked their sixth wedding anniversary, which took place in October 2019. Torode shared a photo from their wedding day at Aynhoe Park in Banbury, expressing his love and admiration for Faulkner, referring to her as his “rock” and “best friend.” The image captured the couple cutting their elaborate wedding cake with joy and unity.
Torode looked dapper in a stylish black suit paired with a white shirt and dark tie, while Faulkner was elegant in a white bridal gown adorned with delicate lace details. The couple, radiating happiness, greeted their wedding guests from the top table, surrounded by a beautifully decorated setting with a white tablecloth and colorful candles.
Accompanying the photo, Torode wrote a touching message to Faulkner, expressing his deep love and gratitude, ending with a red heart emoji. Fans and well-wishers flooded the comments section with congratulations, including a sweet response from Faulkner, declaring her love for Torode.
The couple’s journey began four years after they started dating, culminating in a memorable wedding ceremony on October 24, 2019, at a picturesque country estate in Northamptonshire. The festivities spanned two days, including a pre-wedding dinner. The event was attended by several famous personalities from the entertainment and culinary worlds, adding to the joyous occasion.
Torode and Faulkner have previously shared details of their romance, highlighting their strong bond and friendship. However, their recent anniversary celebration comes amidst a challenging period for Torode, following his departure from MasterChef, the long-running BBC cooking show he co-hosted with Gregg Wallace. The decision came after allegations of inappropriate behavior, which Torode denied, expressing gratitude for his time on the show but acknowledging the need for a new chapter in his career.
The couple’s enduring love and support from fans and colleagues have been evident throughout their journey, making their anniversary celebration a testament to their enduring bond and resilience in the face of challenges.
