Gabby Logan's life away from the cameras including family tragedy and husband's cancer diagnosis
Gabby Logan has been a mainstay on our TV screens for years, but what do we know about her away from the cameras? Take a look... Gabby Logan has become a household name, gracing our television screens with her dynamic presence for many years. She's been at the helm of major sporting events coverage, including the FIFA World Cup, the Olympic Games, the Great North Run, and the UEFA Euros. But Gabby isn't just about sports; she's also hosted entertainment shows like Splash! and Flockstars. Plus, she's participated in popular TV programmes such as Would I Lie To You? and The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up to Cancer, which will air again on Channel 4 this coming Sunday (4 May). When she's not lighting up our TV and radio waves, Gabby juggles her role as a mother to twins Reuben and Lois, alongside her husband, Kenny Logan. Who is Gabby's husband? Kenny Logan is no stranger to the spotlight, having had a successful career as a Scottish international rugby union player. He's played for the Glasgow Warriors and Wasps RSC and has donned the Scotland jersey on the international stage. The couple's romance began during a night out in Fulham, where Kenny recalls being "dumbstruck" and "incredibly excited" upon meeting the famed sports presenter, reports Wales Online. Kenny popped the question seven months into their relationship, leading to a grand wedding ceremony in July 2000. By 2005, they welcomed their twins Reuben and Lois, and now the family enjoys life in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire. What has Gabby said about her marriage? Gabby has opened up about her relationship with Kenny, sharing insights into how they navigate conflicts and make it a point to maintain regular communication. "Sometimes there's going to be a player who needs picking up, and other times they're the star of the game, and it's someone else who needs the boost. With a marriage, it's the same: you're never walking along the same bit of road at the same time. "We also never stop working at it. It isn't something you can just leave to be and hope it's all right in 15 years. It needs a bit of assessment," she previously told Good Housekeeping Magazine. Kenny's cancer battle In 2022, Gabby played a pivotal role by urging her spouse to get a Well Man health check, which led to the early detection of prostate cancer. Heeding medical advice, Kenny was recommended to have his prostate completely removed to halt the cancer's spread. He braved surgery with successful results. Kenny opened up about his unexpected diagnosis on BBC Breakfast, sharing how blindsided he was upon learning of his condition without any discernible symptoms prior. "I got a wellness check and sat down with the guy, and he said, 'everything's fine, but your prostate is high'. I got checked and within three or four months I had a biopsy," Kenny recounted on the show. "This year, in February, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer, which was a huge shock. I decided to get it taken out, and I'm probably 95% back to normal. When you're told you've got cancer, I literally fell over. I didn't see it coming, no symptoms whatsoever. I had to go looking for it." Gabby's family heartbreak Gabby has candidly shared details about her marriage and opened up about the deep sorrow she faced after her brother Daniel passed away. At just 15, Daniel died in 1992 from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. At 19, when Gabby was grappling with the loss of her brother, she faced the first anniversary of his death amidst university exam preparations, which led to an overwhelming struggle with her grief. She ultimately chose to seek counselling. Recounting her experience with bereavement on the ainslie + ainslie Performance People podcast, she revealed: "I was running around running from my grief, probably, and then by the end of my first year at university, so just around the time of his first anniversary, I had some first year exams and it all kind of came crashing down."
