Money Saving Expert’s Martin Lewis has been happily married to Danielle Lara Lewington since 2009.
Lara, who Martin often refers to as ‘Mrs Money Saving Expert’ or ‘MMSE’ , is actually famous in her own right as a TV presenter and tech reporter.
A regular weather presenter on Channel Five for six years as well, as featuring in a weekly sketch on ITV1’s The Impressionable Jon Culshaw, Lara has also made appearances including BBC1’s The Weakest Link: News and Weather special, BBC1’s Let’s Dance for Sports Relief, BBC1’s Superstars: Battle of the Channels, ITV1’s Britain’s Best Dish: Celebrity Special, and ITV1’s Win, Lose or Draw.
She now co-presents the popular BBC Click, a weekly technology news show, with Spencer Kelly and is also a Women’s magazine columnist sharing tech tips.

Martin Lewis and wife Danielle Lara Lewington welcomed a daughter named Sapphire Susan Lewis in 2012.
Though not much is known about his daughter – who is aged 10 now – Lewis wrote a special blog dedicated to her after she was born.
The post from 2012 reads: “Her name is Sapphire Susan Lewis and while she weighs a wee 6lb 6oz, her weight in joy is immeasurable. Last night was her first one at home and it was quite exhausting (I think she’s operating in a US time zone for some reason), though worth every second.”
He added later that his young daughter has him “wrapped around her little finger”.
It also seems that little Sapphire is taking after her father where money-saving tips are concerned.
The financial guru once tweeted: “Mini MSE (age 7) said to me smiling tonight, having got some fruit from the fridge, ‘Daddy these grapes are a day over their best-before date, but I know I can eat them still because they’re not use buy, and they still look ok. I’m very proud. What a chip off the old block.”
