Sarah Beeny shares a loving snap with her husband Graham Swift
Sarah Beeny shares a photo with her loving husband Graham Swift and their sons after admitting she can’t tell him she loves him despite being married for 20 years
Sarah Beeny took to Instagram to share a sweet photo of her husband Graham Swift and their four sons after getting the all-clear following her battle with breast cancer.
The presenter, 51, appeared in a relaxed image with her family, shared by filmmaker Louis Watson, who has teamed up with her childhood band The Entitled Sons.
Sarah reposted the photo as she reflected on her 20-year marriage to husband Graham in an interview that surfaced, admitting that despite their long-term union, they struggle to say I love you to each other.
The couple had a whirlwind romance and moved in together after only two weeks of dating, much to their parents’ shock.
In an interview with The sun in 2021 she said, “I look at 18-year-olds now and think, ‘God, if they came home and said they bought a flat together, I’d be shocked’.”

“I don’t blame them for feeling that, but it does make me take young people’s relationships more seriously than other people.”
Sarah and Graham founded their real estate company Diccon before launching her groundbreaking Property Ladder series in 2001.
But despite a decades-long relationship, Sarah confessed in that interview and she and Graham struggle to profess their love for each other.
She added: “When we first met we used to joke about people meeting and saying the word ‘love’ after two and a half seconds when they’re just saying it because they want to sing with you. It became a regular joke and as a result we can’t say it to each other.
“If he’s not looking, though, I’ll tell the kids I love him. And I’ve heard them ask him if he loves Mom. He looked at me and said through clenched teeth, “Yes, I love your mother very much.” It is funny.’
The presenter was diagnosed with breast cancer in August last year and in April revealed she had been given everything safely while performing on Lorraine.
She shared the positive news during an emotional interview alongside her two sons Billy, 18, and Raffa, 14.
Speaking to deputy presenter Christine Lampard, Sarah shared that she is now cancer-free as she reflects on her ‘rollercoaster’ journey with the disease.

When asked about her health, Christine said, “Just a few days ago you got the all-clear.
“I know you will always worry and you will always be aware of your body, but to hear those words at this point is a beautiful thing.”
Sarah then confirmed the good news, saying, “It’s okay, it’s weird.” It’s a bit like her [the doctors] go “that’s it then” and that’s the end.
And you say ‘how do you know’, and they say ‘well we don’t know, we just think so’. It’s a weird ending – you feel like there has to be a moment.’
Sarah explained that while she is now cancer-free, she will have to continue taking medication for the next ten years and will have to be “very vigilant.”
She added: “I mean it’s ongoing – I have to be on drugs for the next 10 years and be very vigilant. But it’s been a weird ride that I wouldn’t wish on anyone else.’
Sarah admitted it had been a ‘rollercoaster’ but said she felt ‘lucky’ to get her diagnosis when she did what she praised for the NHS.
“It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster ride,” she added. “But I’m lucky to have received the diagnosis I’ve been given, and to be alive in 2023 and to be the age I am. So many things I’m lucky enough to do, so I feel very blessed.”
