Kelly Brook, born Kelly Ann Parsons on November 23, 1979, in Rochester, Kent, has long been a familiar face in British entertainment. Her career began in the late 1990s, first grabbing attention as a model before stepping into acting and television presenting. For many, Kelly’s modeling gigs showcased not just her beauty but also a laid-back charm that made her instantly likeable.
She’s popped up in movies like “Piranha 3D” and has been a regular presence on British TV, from “Strictly Come Dancing” to “Celebrity Juice.” What’s always set her apart from some other celebrities is that she comes across as refreshingly down-to-earth – funny, approachable, and someone who doesn’t take herself too seriously.
Finding Love After the Spotlight
Kelly’s love life has often found its way into the newspapers, sometimes accurately, sometimes less so. After a handful of high-profile relationships – some happy, some turbulent – she seems to have finally found real stability. In July 2022, Kelly married Jérémy Parisi in Italy, capping off eight years together. Their relationship has mostly unfolded away from the usual celebrity drama, which feels like a welcome change for her.
Looking back, Kelly’s romantic journey has included plenty of ups and downs. She was engaged for a spell to Billy Zane after they met in 2004 filming “Three,” but they called it off in 2008. She dated rugby player Thom Evans from 2010 to 2013 – a time she later described openly and honestly, especially after suffering two miscarriages. In 2014, she was briefly engaged to David McIntosh, but that relationship ended after only a few months. She’s also been linked to Jason Statham, Danny Cipriani, and a few others, although press coverage has sometimes blown those out of proportion.
One thing that stands out about Kelly is how she’s handled all of this – the breakups, the headlines, the gossip – with a mix of dignity and frankness. She’s spoken about how being in relationships sometimes distracted her from focusing on her own goals. In a 2016 interview, she admitted, “When you’re in a relationship, sometimes you lose yourself. You become all about that person.” But she rarely goes into tabloid-worthy details, choosing instead to talk about what she’s learned – without naming and shaming exes or playing the victim.
With Jérémy, something seems noticeably different. They share common interests (both are into fitness), and he gets the demands of her career without being swept up in the same level of celebrity whirlwind. He’s a model and martial arts enthusiast, with his own career and passions.

Now, after years of having every twist and turn of her love life dissected, Kelly has figured out how to keep some things private while still letting fans in now and then – usually through a candid Instagram post or a funny anecdote on the radio. By all appearances, she’s found a balance that works for her: sharing just enough to stay relatable, but not so much that her private life ends up back in the gossip columns.
