Cricket fans will know Stuart Broad for being an accomplished player on the England team, however, those that keep up with showbiz might know him as the other half of former The Saturdays singer Mollie King. Stuart, 37, and Mollie, 36, got engaged in on New Year's Day in 2021, and welcomed their first child, daughter Annabella, in November 2022.
Whilst his beau may be a bonafide pop star, not much is known about Stuart, so here is a look at his life, from family life to his relationship with Mollie. Family life In 2001, Stuart's family were dealt a devastating blow when his stepmother, Miche, 60, took her own life after being diagnosed with the debilitating condition, Motor Neurone Disease, which damages parts of the nervous system.The day before her death, the family had all been together at a barbecue, as Stuart recalled how "happy and peaceful" she looked, as he said "she kept scrawling jokes and comments to amuse us".
Little did the family know, the barbecue was Miche's way of saying goodbye to her family and friends, before she took a lethal dose of the drugs Diazepam and Tramadol. Speaking about his stepmother's suicide, Stuart said: "It was a huge shock to discover that the real reason she seemed at peace was that she was about to take her own life,' says Stuart , 24.
"But I am comforted by the fact that she died on her terms because she didn't want to suffer any longer." Stuart's father, a former England cricketer and umpire, took months off to be Miche's carer, before her sudden death. Relationship with Mollie Mollie was first romantically linked to England cricket player Stuart back in March 2018.
