Kelly Brook and husband Jeremy Parisi
Kelly Brook, 44, travelled with her husband Jeremy Parisi for Celebrity Race Across the World. They were married in Italy in 2022 but their romance stretches back to 2014 when Parisi first slid into Brook’s DMs. The couple are loving owners to their King Charles Cavalier, half poodle Teddy.
Before now, they have kept their romance low-key in the limelight. Celebrity Race Across the World isn’t the only reality TV show they are working on as they have an Italian farm show in the pipeline where they will go renovate Parisi’s family farm in Italy.
