As the Euro 2024 kicks off, all eyes are on England's football team and one familiar face that will be gracing our screens is none other than pundit and former professional player, Gary Lineker. With a successful career spanning over four decades, Gary has become a household name in the sports broadcasting world, known for his expert analysis and witty commentary.
Born in 1960, Gary began his football career in 1977 and quickly rose to fame as the only player to have been the top scorer in England with three different clubs: Leicester City, Everton, and Tottenham Hotspur. He also had stints playing for Barcelona in Spain and represented England in 80 international matches. In 1999, Gary made the transition to television and became the host of the BBC's flagship football program, Match of the Day, a role he still holds today.
But as we tune in to watch Gary's insightful commentary during the Euros, many may wonder about his personal life away from the cameras. Is Gary married? The answer is no, he is currently single. However, he has been married twice before. In 1986, he tied the knot with Michelle Cockayne and the couple went on to have four sons together. After 20 years of marriage, they divorced amicably in 2006. The following year, Gary married model Danielle Bux, who was 20 years his junior. However, the couple announced their separation in 2016, citing different desires for starting a family.
Despite their split, Gary and Danielle remain close friends and maintain a strong bond. In a 2019 interview, Gary revealed that they still speak three times a day and see each other whenever they are in the same city. Danielle went on to marry American entertainment lawyer Nate Greenwald and the couple have a daughter named Ella together.
As for Gary, he has not been publicly linked to anyone since his split from Danielle. In a 2021 interview, he admitted that he enjoys being single and doesn't feel lonely. "I've been married most of my adult life, and I'm friends with both of my ex-wives," he shared. "At the moment, I'm very comfortable being on my own." He also mentioned that he still goes on the occasional date, but nothing serious.
It seems that Gary is content with his life as it is and is focused on his career and maintaining strong relationships with his loved ones. As the Euros continue, we can continue to enjoy Gary's insightful commentary and witty banter, knowing that off-screen, he is living a happy and fulfilling life.
