Greg James' whirlwind love life from Ellie Goulding heartbreak to famous wife
Radio 1 DJ Greg James has been keeping the nation entertained for years - but when he isn't busy taking over the airwaves, who keeps him occupied?
The Rise and Fall presenter, 37, currently 'has a nice life' with wife Bella Mackie, 39, after she popped the question back in February of 2018.
The couple tied the knot in September of that year and have been enjoying married life ever since.
Bella is a journalist and author from London who has worked for the likes of VICE and The Guardian.
She adopted the name Mackie to distinguish herself from her father, journalist Alan Rusbridger who was the editor-in-chief of The Guardian from 1995-2015.

It is unclear when they started dating (Instagram)The loved-up couple kept their engagement under wraps until June 2018, when Greg announced the happy news.
Taking to Instagram he wrote: "Oh while we’re doing announcements, here’s something else...I’m having the time of my life and enjoying my work more than ever.
"I feel really content and it’s nice to have my shit together before I undertake a huge new work challenge.
Greg James is a Radio 1 DJ"One of the main reasons for this happiness is because I met this person. This is Bella and in February she asked me to marry her.
"I said yes immediately because she is the smartest, funniest and most beautiful person I’ve ever met.
"The only problem is she loves staying up into the early hours drinking as much as I do and this is not conducive with 5am alarms. That said, it’s been quite a year."
Greg announced the news on Instagram (Instagram)When their big day came around, Greg shared four photos to his fans.

"She is the best thing ever and I feel like I might actually burst with happiness."
