Rachel to wed her Wyse guy Tim
sky sports presenter to wed millionaire showjumper tim
SPORTS presenter Rachel Wyse is feeling Sky-high after her engagement to multimillionaire developer and showjumper Tim Gredley.
The Dubliner, 33, revealed her fiance had popped the question by posting a romantic photograph of the couple and her massive rock.
Tim took to his own Instagram account to express his relief his proposal was accepted. He wrote: “Thank God she said yes.”
The pair have been dating for 18 months but first met each other 13 years ago.
In a recent interview, Rachel said: “We weren’t in each other’s orbits at all through the intervening years.
“We just met up last year and it went from there. It’s going great, I’m very happy.”
Rachel told the Irish Independent she was introduced to the champion show jumper, who has represented Great
Britain, at a horse show in Cavan.
She added: “I was jumping and he had horses.”
Rachel admitted the pair later “clicked” despite her hectic Sky
Sports schedule. She said:
“If you want to make something work in life, there’s always time to fit somebody in.
“Of course, he’s met my friends and we’ve lots of mutual friends. It’s nice to have similar interests.”
Rachel has been involved in equestrianism for most of her life and her father was a judge at the Dublin Horse Show.
The presenter also competed internationally at showjumping before going on to do a degree in business studies.
Rachel has a large fan base and is constantly bombarded by proposals but she’s now off the market.
She admitted: “You would get things like someone had sent a picture of his teddy bears with his address on it.
“It was sweet, I wasn’t entirely sure of their age, so I didn’t know how to take it.
“There are a few things that get sent in and you realise that what’s written is a bit vile and you just quickly move on. “On Valentine’s Day, they send cards.”
Tim is also a top racehorse owner and enjoyed Gold Cup success at Royal Ascot last year.
