How many times was Anna Wintour married? All about Vogue Editor in Chief’s personal life as she steps down

The legendary fashion icon and long-standing editor in chief of American Vogue, Anna Wintour, is stepping down from her role after 37 years.

Though she will remain in senior roles at Condé Nast, holding the titles global editorial director and chief content officer, her exit from the top job at the American edition represents the end of an era in the fashion industry. As she enters a new chapter, people are expressing their interest in knowing more about her personal life, which she has kept private for a long time.

Anna Wintour has been married twice. In 1984, she got married to prominent child psychiatrist David Shaffer (Hollywood Life). The couple remained together for about 15 years before divorcing in 1999. They have two children: Charles Shaffer, born in 1985, and Katherine Bee Shaffer, born in 1987.

According to SCMP, Charles followed a career in medicine and became a psychiatrist like his father, whereas Bee became a segment producer and married Francesco Carrozzini, the son of the late Vogue Italia editor Franca Sozzani.

Following her divorce, Anna Wintour was in a relationship with venture capitalist and telecom millionaire Shelby Bryan. The couple, who began dating in the late 90s, are said to have split in December 2019.

Wintour and Shelby Bryan married in 2004 and for years were a high-profile couple in fashion and business circles. The two supposedly split in 2020 and kept their divorce private for the initial few months.

In the aftermath of her breakup with Bryan, Anna Wintour was speculated to have dated British actor Bill Nighy for several years. The two have previously been spotted together and made a red carpet debut as a couple at the 2023 Met Gala.

According to Hollywood Life, their red carpet debut caused a bit of a stir, and therefore, a spokesperson for Wintour later stated that the duo were not in a relationship but have been good friends for 20 years.
