Stuart Broad Off the Field: Love, Loss and a Business Rebuilt

Recent coverage profiles his reconciliation with Mollie King, two young daughters, plus the recovery of a pub venture after a 2022 fire.

Overview

  • The 39-year-old England fast bowler is widely lauded for pace, longevity and match-defining spells.
  • He began dating singer Mollie King in 2012, split within a year, rekindled the relationship in 2019, later got engaged, and now has two daughters, Annabelle (2022) and Liliana (January 2025).
  • Broad says the early split stemmed from clashing schedules and long periods apart, a theme he details in his 2023 autobiography Broadly Speaking.
  • His family endured a 2010 tragedy when his stepmother, Miche, died by suicide following a Motor Neurone Disease diagnosis, which he has discussed publicly.
  • With Harry Gurney, he founded The Cat and Wickets in 2016; their Tap and Run pub was destroyed by an electrical fire in 2022, reopened a year later after a £1.3 million rebuild, and the portfolio also includes The Griffin Inn and The Long Hop.
