Sarah Beeny’s life from tragic loss and cancer diagnosis to unique tradition with husband

The property guru Sarah Beeny, who has become a household name on British TV for years, is renowned for her insightful advice on programs like Property Ladder and How to Live Mortgage Free.

The actress’s return to the big screen is Sarah Beeny’s New Life in the Country, which follows her family’s five-year relocation to Somerset. However, behind the scenes, Beeny has faced personal battles. In August 2022, she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

After a difficult year of treatment, including a mastectomy and intensive radiotherapy and chemotherapy, she joyfully announced she was cancer-free in April 2023. speaking with OK! magazine, Beeny praised her husband Graham for being her constant support during her illness, saying: “There are bumps along the way in life and marriage – it’s not all plain sailing. But during my cancer treatment, Graham was absolutely as I’d expected him to be – great, because he’s a good man”.

She continued: “I don’t have a husband who will come in with tea trays, I don’t have a butler! But I don’t want one, I’d find that annoying. Whenever he’s needed to step up, he’s stepped up, and that was one of those times”.

In a recent candid conversation with Prima Magazine, she previously discussed her special relationship with her husband, Graham Swift. She revealed that despite having a strong relationship, they never actually said “I love you” to one another. They have a peculiar way of saying it. It developed into a custom as a playful rehash of friends who used the phrase too casually.

Sarah shared: “I’m married to my best friend. Although I’m not sure what our secret is, I believe having a child’s spirit in you is beneficial. When he was 18 and I was 19 I met Graham. We used to laugh at friends who would say “I love you” after a certain date before leaving the following day, so it wasn’t a joke anymore. To this day, we’ve never officially said it”.

The TV presenter also spoke to OK! magazine about how her mother’s passing had a profound impact on her sense of self and family. She reflected: “Home is really important for me. But it’s not about how it looks, it’s about how it makes people feel. Since then, I’ve been sentimental since my mother passed away when I was a young child. I’ve now broken myself from some of it and realized that my kids aren’t at all sentimental.

When she met Graham Swift at age 19, their relationship would blossom both romantically and financially in their joint property ventures, taking a significant turn for both her personal and professional life. The mother of four, Sarah, has a closely-knit family life. Her brother is married to Graham’s sister, Caroline. The couple are parents to four sons: Billy, who is now 20, Charlie, aged 18, Laurie, 16, and Rafferty, who is 15.
