LISA SNOWDON

LISA SNOWDON AND HER FIANCE GEORGE SMART TELL OK! ABOUT MAKING PEACE WITH NOT BECOMING PARENTS AND WHETHER THEY’LL GET MARRIED SOMEDAY

It’s clear to see that TV presenter Lisa Snowdon and her fiancé George Smart are meant to be together when we catch up with the loved-up pair at their stunning Essex home. The love story between Lisa and creative director George goes way back, but it was serendipity that reunited them and brought them back together the second time round. After a fleeting fling in their twenties, the pair went their separate ways – Lisa headed to Los Angeles and George enjoyed a new life in London.

Lisa tells us, “I was working at MTV and George had come from Yorkshire to work there, too. That was 18 years ago. We hooked up at V Festival at the end of the night. We had a little hot fling for a minute and then that was it for years.”

It wasn’t until a mutual friend reunited the pair 14 years later that they were in it for the long haul. “We had a little liaison back then but I hadn’t seen him since. When we were reintroduced, he asked me out for dinner and we just chatted and laughed for hours,” Lisa recalls.

George romantically got down on one knee at Christmas time 2017. Talking of the wedding, Lisa reveals, “We haven’t got anything planned, we’re even less inclined to plan anything now but we’ll see. We’re really happy together and we’re going to be together forever, regardless of whether we actually have a contract signed and a big service.”

Being 48, Lisa made the tough decision not to have children of her own, admitting, “I’ve totally made peace with it now. It wasn’t meant for this life for me but we’re lucky that we’ve got all our lovely little crazy nieces and nephews in our life. We don’t feel childless because we have so much contact with them.”

Here, the beautiful couple tell OK! all about love, life and what makes their relationship work...

How are you both?

Lisa: Good. George isn’t very comfortable in front of the camera and hates the attention being on him so I’ve never laughed so much as I have on this shoot. He hates the red carpet, but I’ve managed to drag him into some pictures – he’s very photogenic.

How has lockdown been for you?

George: The bonus is that we get on very well so we feel lucky. It’s been amazing
