Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan are arguably TV's best-known presenting duo.
The couple are not only extremely successful in broadcasting but away from their careers, they've had plenty of success in their marriage as they have been husband and wife for almost 40 years.
Although Richard, 68, and Judy, 76, no longer present alongside each other these days, the pair remain instantly recognisable faces and Richard is still a regular host on Good Morning Britain.

The couple went on to welcome two children together, but Judy was already a mum to twin sons from a previous marriage.
Richard's bond with ultra-private stepsons
When Richard and Judy met, Richard explained how they fell in love very quickly. Writing in the Telegraph in 2008, he said: "This was no office fling. Within a week of our first secret date, I asked Judy to marry me."
However, Richard also made the revelation that he had "doubts" about whether he could be a stepdad to Judy's sons, Dan and Tom, whom she welcomed with her first husband, journalist David Henshaw.

However, it appears that the doubts fizzled and Judy and Richard went on to marry. Judy's sons, now 47 years of age, generally keep themselves out of the spotlight and not much is known about their lives.

Not long after they became husband and wife, Judy and Richard welcomed their first child together, son Jack. Like his half-brothers, the 38-year-old generally keeps a low profile and not a huge amount of detail is known about his life.
However, it's been reported that he works in talent management and is married to his wife, Issy.

She's also active on social media and boasts more than 290,000 Instagram followers. Away from her career in the public eye, she works as a personal trainer and fitness instructor.
In 2018, Chloe married former England rugby union player James Haskell. The 36-year-old is also a mother of one-year-old daughter, Bodhi, whom she shares with James.
However, in September 2023 the pair separated and now co-parent their one-year-old.
