Nick Knowles tied the knot with Katie, his partner of four years, in June, now dispelling any notions that they married for money
Nick Knowles has made a “hilarious” claim about his recent marriage. The DIY: SOS host wed Katie in a lavish ceremony in June, costing six figures.
Nick and Katie, who is 27 years his junior, had been together for four years before they said their vows. They first crossed paths in 2019 and officially became a couple two years later in 2021.
The former Strictly Come Dancing star popped the question during a trip to New Orleans two years ago. Their wedding took place at the opulent Braxted Park in Essex.
Now, Nick has brushed off any suggestions that lingerie businesswoman Katie, 34, married him for his wealth. Speaking to The Telegraph, he laughed off the idea, saying: “This idea that she’s married me for money is hilarious.”
Nick, 63, went on to say: “Katie is far more intelligent and successful than me. I’ve never even owned a house and I give maybe 40 per cent of what I earn to charity.
“Don’t get me wrong, I do all right and I can pay my bills, but I drive a 12-year-old Range Rover and the watch I’m wearing was a present.”
Nick and Katie’s paths crossed in 2019 when Nick’s youngest son Eddie, nine, struck up a friendship with Katie’s daughter at a play centre.
Just last week, Katie was rushed to hospital due to complications from life-saving surgery. The TV presenter shared a photo of his wife in hospital as she recuperated from the procedure.
He posted: “Poor Katie Knowles back in hospital again. More complications after her lifesaving surgery last week – but still smiling through all the pain and medical procedures. (When she’s not crying with the pain).
“I can’t tell you how much my wonderful wife has gone through over the past few months – and I don’t mean just living with me.
“The medical procedures and painful recovery, the setbacks and starting from square one again – and she does all this with enormous resilience and determination and the occasional cry. I’m so proud of her.”
Katie underwent a hysterectomy during the summer after enduring years of agony caused by endometriosis. However, 12 weeks into her recovery, she suffered a devastating setback when her previously stitched cervix ruptured.
She described the ordeal as “the most terrifying day I’ve ever had” and detailed horrific symptoms including excruciating abdominal pain, breathing troubles, and internal bleeding.
Taking to Instagram, Katie revealed: “The bit where they took my cervix and sealed it up ruptured which basically meant my insides went rogue, with crippling abdominal pains, difficulty breathing.
“Also incredibly painful gas, blood like Moses parting the Red Sea, fluid, and even my bowel where it definitely didn’t belong,” she continued, detailing her shocking symptoms.
