Lisa Snowdon Opens Up About Past Relationships Following Breakup with Fiancé George Smart

Lisa Snowdon has confirmed the end of her 12-year relationship with fiancé George Smart, describing the breakup as a natural progression where both individuals changed. The 54-year-old presenter and model is embracing this new chapter, calling it her 'second act' and expressing excitement for the future.

"I'm feeling strong. I'm feeling happy. I'm feeling excited about what the future is," Snowdon stated. She added that age was not a factor in the split, attributing it to people evolving and growing apart.

Snowdon's romantic history includes a notable five-year relationship with Oscar-winning actor George Clooney. They met on the set of a Martini commercial in 2000 and dated until 2005. While the relationship reportedly ended due to geographical distance, with neither willing to relocate permanently, Clooney had previously described their relationship as working well due to Snowdon's independence and career.

"George was charming, a really nice man, good fun and we had a great time. It was quite wild," Snowdon reflected in a travel feature. She also mentioned remaining friends with Clooney's Ocean's Eleven co-star, Matt Damon.

Before her relationship with Clooney, Snowdon dated male supermodel Paul Sculfor from 1996 to 1998. They met on a photoshoot in 1992, and after a four-year gap, began dating. They have maintained an amicable relationship, with Sculfor attending the launch of her book in 2023.

Snowdon also had a brief romance with CSI: Crime Scene Investigation star Gary Dourdan from 2002 to 2003, and they briefly attempted to rekindle their relationship in 2007. She later described the long-distance nature of their relationship as unsustainable.

In 2006, Snowdon briefly dated comedian David Walliams. While Walliams had expressed romantic feelings, Snowdon stated they opted for a platonic friendship, emphasizing that their relationship was not romantic and they never slept together.

Her past relationships also include a controversial romance with footballer Jay Bothroyd, which began in 2010. It later emerged that Bothroyd was married at the time, though a representative for him stated they were separated when he met Snowdon. Snowdon's team maintained she had no idea he was still married.

Another past relationship was with actor Adereti Monney, which began in 2014. The relationship was described as turbulent, with Monney admitting to assault by beating after an argument. A representative stated at the time that it was a minor scuffle and the couple had moved on, though the relationship ended the following year.

Snowdon and George Smart first dated two decades ago, reconnected in 2014, and became engaged in 2016. She had previously spoken about not being in a rush to marry, viewing marriage as a contract and expressing a desire for their existing relationship dynamic to remain unchanged. However, the couple has now ended their 12-year relationship.
