Russell Brand first dated wife Laura when she was 19 after her sister introduced them

British comedian Russell Brand has been married to his wife Laura Gallacher for six years, after they reconnected following a romance when she was 19. He thinks fate drew them back together

Comedian Russell Brand has been married to his wife Laura Gallacher for six years, but the couple’s romance sparked long before then, having fallen for each other almost a decade prior. The pair were an item in 2007 when art student Laura was 19 and Radio 2 presenter Russell was 30, after Laura’s big sister, television presenter Kirsty Gallacher, reportedly introduced them.

But things unexpectedly ended and they parted ways, with the Hollywood actor going on to have a whirlwind relationship with Katy Perry. Russell, 48, who is facing serious allegations of rape, sexual assault and emotional abuse, which he ‘absolutely refutes’, previously said he thought fate drew Laura back to him after a chance reunion in 2015.

Broken-hearted Laura had just come out of a relationship and Russell was fresh from his own split with Katy, when the two of them randomly crossed paths on a canal in London’s East End. They found themselves reconnecting and fell in love all over again, going on to tie the knot two years later in 2017.

On podcast Made by Mammas, Laura, now 36, explained: “When we first met we were both in a completely different place. I hadn’t seen Russell for years. He was so different.” She said meeting the second time around allowed them to rebuild their “foundations and trust again”. She added: “It was very slow, it was getting to know each other and going out on day trips together”.
