Shara Grylls Married To Famous Adventurer Bear Grylls
Shara was married in 2000. Her husband is the famous writer, adventurer, and TV presenter Bear Grylls. According to Express, the couple first met in 1998 on the north coast of Scotland while Mr. Grylls was running naked on the beach. It was on New Year’s Eve.
He was staying there with a friend and preparing to climb Mt. Everest. In 2014, in an interview with Piers Morgan, Bear revealed when he was about to leave for Everest, it had only been a few months since he had met Shara. Bear, whose real name is Edward, said,
“It was the worst timing in the world to fall in love because I was up in Scotland.”
“It was the new year, I was training, staying with a friend and climbing every day.”
When Bear Grylls returned from climbing Everest without delay, he proposed to his future wife, Shara.
Mr. Grylls spoke to GQ Magazine in 2016; the talented pair went for relationship counseling right after the marriage, despite most of the couple’s friends telling them they were nuts for marrying the person they met for a while. Edward added,
“We figured that if [marriage] was the most important thing we were ever going to do, we should do everything we could to stop it breaking in the first place.”
The famous author’s husband once wrote that communication is the key to any relationship and its essence to address concerns early, which should not lead to relationship rot.
During the couple’s marriage, Shara and her husband asked their guests to provide the best marriage advice. Mr. Grylls said that the best advice came from a fifty-year couple who suggested,
“Never stop holding hands.”
Together, the couple is blessed with three children, namely, Jesse Grylls, Marmaduke Mickey Percy Grylls, and Huckleberry Edward Jocelyne Grylls.
Their first child Jesse was born on March 2003. Then after three years, they welcomed their second child, Marmaduke, on April 6, 2006. It seems that the couple had decided to three years of the gap for each child. Later on January 15, 2009, their third child Huckleberry was born.
Shara Gryll once told in an interview regarding the couple’s marriage,
“It’s very hard being married to the person who after breaking his back in three different places during a parachuting accident, and then finally fought his way to recovery, and two years after that he entered to the Guinness Book of Records as the youngest Briton to climb Mount Everest.”
“But it’s quite funny if I ever will be out in the wild, he is actually the only one person that I want to do it with!”
Shara adores petting animals. She has two dogs and two cats.
