Who is Tom Grennan's wife Danniella Carraturo - how they met and 'grovelling' reconciliation

BRIT Award nominee Tom Grennan has spoken about his relationship with his wife Danniella Carraturo on occasion. It's included him having spoken about the moment that the couple met and his partner being inspiration for music.

Tom, 30, is said to have met pilates instructor Danniella one evening in 2020 and they got engaged two years later. They went on to tie the knot in a wedding ceremony held last year and he's now announced that he's become a parent.

The singer-songwriter has said that he knew Danniella was "the one" from the first time they met. It's been revealed that they met in an elevator, with him speaking about the encounter on the Kyle and Jackie O Show last year.

Tom shared on the radio show that they "bonded" over a cigarette during a night out. He recalled them saying 'hello' to each other in the lift whilst both "heading to the smoking area". He added: "Bonded over a ciggie and that was it."

He said that he "misread" the situation though, with him saying: "I leant in for a kiss and she was like 'what the hell are you doing?' [...] I was just like 'well if you're not gonna kiss me, you might as well put your phone number in my phone'."

Tom, who said that he felt there was "something" about her, shared that they began a romance but were together "not long" before splitting up. He suggested that Covid-19 lockdown was a factor and that he had not been "ready".

He recalled Danniella later posting a photo of herself, which prompted him to get back in touch. Tom said he messaged her saying "enjoy your day" and described her as "stunning". He added: "And then I had to do some grovelling, basically."

Tom once teased to Rolling Stone Australia/NZ that his single Remind Me, which was released in 2022, had been inspired by Danniella, whom he called his "best mate". He said: "It was about reconnecting with somebody special."

The musician told the outlet in an interview three years ago: "Now we're back together, and I'm in love. She's amazing, somebody who has changed my life completely."

That same year, it was announced that Tom and Danniella had got engaged. Then, in June 2022, shortly after his proposal, the couple were seen at Wimbledon, where his fiancée appeared to be sporting an engagement ring.

More recently, Tom and Danniella tied the knot in May last year. The couple exchanged vows in a ceremony in Majorca that was attended by family and friends. The reception was held in an outdoor area at a venue on the island.

Some guests shared photos from the nuptials on social media at the time. One attendee wrote in a post that there had been a "euphoric atmosphere". Another shared that they were in "awe" over the couple's wedding celebrations.

Tom later confirmed he had got married and shared a photo of the newlyweds embracing in a field. He was seen in a black suit, whilst the bride wore a white dress. Beside a black heart emoji, he wrote in the post last year: "Life starts now."

Weeks after the wedding, during his appearance on the Kyle and Jackie O Show, Tom revealed that he wrote Danniella a song as his wedding speech. He confirmed on the radio show at the time that it had been an unreleased song.

He said: "I thought my speech would be awful because I'm actually dyslexic. I'm rubbish at writing and speaking publicly." Tom recalled telling his wife before the music began: "I can't really talk as well as I would love but here goes ..."

Earlier tonight, Tom shared that he's become a parent in a post celebrating his album Everywhere I Went, Led Me to Where I Didn't Want to Be having topped the charts in the UK. It marks his third consecutive chart-topping album.

Alongside a series of photos, one of which showed a baby holding his award for the achievement, he wrote: "From the kid who never thought he'd make it, to three consecutive number one albums, joining an esteemed club to do so with the likes of The Beatles & Oasis - words will never be enough for the gratitude I feel.

"To now be stepping into fatherhood at the same time is the greatest gift I could ever imagine. Music gave me purpose, but being a dad gives me everything. Here’s to the past that built me, the present that grounds me, and the future I can’t wait for!

"Thanks to all the fans for once again making my dreams a reality, I really couldn't do it without you all. It's going to be amazing to see so many of you on the upcoming tour in September. Honestly I'm so excited for what's to come, we are just getting started."
