In a heartwarming moment on Good Morning Britain in 2026, Richard Madeley shared a monumental celebration with his co-host, Susanna Reid, marking his 40th wedding anniversary with wife Judy Finnigan. The iconic couple, who married in 1986, have now been together for a total of 40 years, including their time before marriage.
Opening the show with a joyous announcement, Richard couldn’t believe how quickly time had passed. “Today, I still can’t believe it… it feels like it’s only been about 15 years, but yes, today marks 40 years of being under the same roof!” Richard chuckled, adding that their marriage was a testament to how well they’ve supported each other through the years. Susanna responded with genuine enthusiasm, “Wow, 40 years — congratulations to you both!”
The couple’s love story, which began decades ago, continues to captivate fans of Good Morning Britain. Richard humorously teased about their celebration plans, saying they would be “going to a posh dinner” — a fitting way to mark their incredible milestone.
Despite their public lives, the couple has faced their share of ups and downs, like any long-term relationship. Yet, their enduring bond remains a source of inspiration. As Richard and Judy celebrate their 40th year together, their fans are reminded of the power of enduring love, humor, and commitment.
Meanwhile, in the Madeley family, there have been other moments of personal growth and challenges. Richard and Judy’s daughter, Chloe Madeley, has had her own ups and downs recently. She shared the difficult news of her split from husband James Haskell in October 2023. The couple, married in 2018 and parents to daughter Bodhi, confirmed their separation after years of public attention, with Chloe requesting privacy for the sake of their daughter.
