Meet Rachael Roberts, Tony Bellew’s Wife
I am a famous person star Tony Bellew tells a nearly four-minute story about meeting his wife on the show. The two first met when they were 10 years old. They grew up together in the nearby Merseyside neighborhood. Years later, 18-year-old Tony met Racheal on a night out, and the three weeks they spent together in the Jungle were the longest he had been away from home. This meeting rekindles their romance.
“The first time I met her, I was 11 years old,” Tony said. Then they moved away and I was still friends with my brother and I was working as a bouncer in a nightclub and she came up to the incident and said, “Anthony.” At this stage everyone just called me ‘Bomber’ or Tony. I looked at her and she said: “Anthony, it’s me, Rachel. And I thought, “I don’t know anyone like you named Rachel.” “That’s Neil’s sister,” she said. My eyes widened, “Wow!”
‘Trying to act cool, waited about half an hour, rushed into that club and found her, said “Can I buy you a drink, how are you, what’s up?” Tony continued. “After about an hour, I said, “Do you have a boyfriend?” [She said]“No, I haven’t.” [I said], ‘Is there any chance we can go take pictures or something? Let’s go get a drink, okay?” and she just said, ‘No.
Tony had to do a lot of work before they could get together. The day Rachael kissed him on the cheek for the first time was even printed on the boxer’s body (October 15, 2001).
He seems to have been ‘besotted’ by her since she rejected him three times.
An insider close to the childhood couple said: “Their first date was a trip to the cinema and was preceded by a milkshake. Rachael told him that if he wasn’t the perfect man for her on a date, he would blow his only chance. So it was clear to him from the beginning that she was a strong woman who wouldn’t accept any nonsense.”
Rachael and Tony married on July 6, 2018 but have called her his wife since 2014. They have been married for five years and celebrate 22 years together in October 2023.
In 2023, Rachael went to Australia with her children to see her husband suffer. “He always comments on me when I eat salad and he turns his nose up. Well, he couldn’t do that considering what he ate in the Jungle,” Rachael told DailyMail. “It’s not hard to watch, I love every Challenge he does. I love seeing him suffer… in a good way! But no, we’re all extremely proud and we think he’s done amazingly and I’m amazed at the Tests he’s done. We thought he was going to have a hard time but he did really well.”
On Valentine’s Day 2023, Tony wished his wife: “Happy Valentine’s Day to the real person I know! I love you girl and am so lucky to have you as my wife and mother of our 4 children! @rachael_bellew 💙😘💙 #happyvalentines.”

Rachael Roberts is not a typical WAG wallflower and when talking about his wife, Tony said: “I’m not afraid of any man but I’ll never get over her.” Tony credited his wife for keeping him grounded. He also said that Rachael is the reason he can’t splash his winnings.
She was famously involved in an argument with a defeated Haye when Bellew faced BJ Flores in late 2016. Rachael could be seen swearing at Haye in the ring.
In 2018, Rachael called a worker at Manchester Arena ‘f***ing q***r’ and ‘dirty f***ing f*g’ in a shocking rant after her retirement match This boxer. Mirror reported that Rachael shouted at a Manchester Arena bar staff member after the fight.
“Her actions were completely inappropriate for the wife of a famous boxer,” said the employee, who requested anonymity. What I asked was not intended as an insult but simply a question about the match. After we found out that Tony lost, I think she was taking advantage of her anger about Tony losing and directing it at us.”
