Sunday Brunch star Simon Rimmer surprised fans at the 2024 Golden Chopsticks Awards when he appeared alongside his stunning wife, Ali.

Married for nearly three decades, Simon and his wife Ali first met when they were waiting tables together, long before Simon’s success on TV.
The couple now live in Manchester with their two children, Florence and Hamish as well as their dog Cali and cat Glinda.
Despite the challenges that every relationship faces, Simon has acknowledged in the past the importance of communication in maintaining a strong and committed partnership. "In life, like most people, we've had our ups and downs," Simon candidly revealed in a 2018 interview with Mind Map. "But through it all, Ali has been my rock and my partner in life.
We've managed to navigate through everything together, and I am incredibly grateful for the family we've built." Ali, a former chef, shares Simon's passion for food, and the couple often enjoys cooking together at home. Simon admits that they both take turns in the kitchen, appreciating the relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere of home cooking.
