It was never the cart before the hours for Holly Willoughby and Dan Baldwin. In a brief tell-all about the secret to their romance, the TV presenter shared friendship as a key ingredient. Holly Willoughby may have quite a busy schedule being a TV presenter, author, and now businesswoman with the launch of her “Wylde Moon”— lifestyle magazine in 2021, but she values family.

Through teamwork, Holly Willoughby and Dan Baldwin, her husband of about sixteen who is also a busy bee in the entertainment industry, have managed to keep their affairs under wraps. The duo are parents to children Harry, 13, Belle, 11, and Chester, 8, and neither their parenthood nor marriage has headlined significant controversies.

While they prefer to stay mute about their private matters, the TV presenter has no worries about sharing the key to their successful marriage. In the spirit of Valentine, even though it’s a few weeks from now, Willoughby gushingly recalled how she and Baldwin began their journey to forever—surprisingly it was not from their wedding day.

The model detailed accurately her first meeting with the TV producer through a shared clip on Wylde Moon’s Instagram account. From the horse’s mouth, Holly Willoughby and Dan Baldwin met eight months after she became a staff member for a Saturday morning show.

Baldwin was the new producer on board; he was easy to work with, and that fluidity was taken outside the studios. They hung out and developed a tight bond. A smiling Holly Willoughby recalled that it was never love at first sight; it took months of solid friendship for her to realize that she was in love with Dan Baldwin.

“Looking back on it now, I think what I was thinking was an intense friendship was probably me falling in love,” she voiced out.

It is not hard to notice that Holly Willoughby loves her husband as much as he loves her. During their 13th wedding anniversary, she wrote an adorable message after sharing a throwback photo of them. It read:
