Richard Arnold, a presenter on Good Morning Britain, recently announced his engagement to his long-term partner, Stuart, sharing a heartfelt post on Instagram with the caption "The splice of life 💍." In the photo, the 56-year-old broadcaster was seen wearing a traditional Scottish kilt, paired with a vibrant pink sporran—a decorative pouch commonly worn with kilts. He wrapped an arm around Stuart, while a second image showed their Cockapoo, Clementine, wearing a ribbon that read "I do too," hinting that the dog may have played a part in the proposal.
Richard and Stuart, who have been together for 23 years, received an outpouring of support and well-wishes from colleagues and fans alike. ITV co-stars like Susanna Reid, Amanda Holden, and Ruth Langsford expressed their joy, with Reid writing, "THE BIGGEST BESTEST NEWS - massive congratulations and tons of love ❤️❤️❤️," and Langsford noting, "How wonderful! Congratulations and wishing you all the happiness in the world ❤️❤️ The pink sporran is on point! 🩷." Others, including Kate Garraway and Lorraine Kelly, also shared their congratulations, praising the couple's happy relationship.
Though Richard has generally kept his personal life private, he and Stuart have been together since the early 2000s and live in central London. He occasionally mentions Stuart on air and has spoken about their home life in the past. In a 2022 interview with House Beautiful, Richard described their home as a sanctuary, highlighting the outdoor space where they make "fantastic memories." He also shared that their neighbors keep bees and often give them homemade honey. During the pandemic, he even presented Good Morning Britain from his shed, which he calls his "man cave."
In a lighthearted moment, Richard once joked about Stuart's habit of talking on the phone while at home, saying he had to leave the house to avoid shaving Stuart's eyebrows off. In 2024, he humorously remarked that he was still waiting for Stuart to propose, saying, "We've been together for 19 years now, my partner and I; it feels like five minutes, underwater. Still no ring on my finger, but I'm waiting." Now, after 23 years together, the couple is finally celebrating their engagement with love and laughter.
