John Torode Opens Up About Evolving Marriage with Lisa Faulkner
So, have you heard the latest about John Torode and Lisa Faulkner? It’s actually a pretty heartfelt update. John, who we all know as the straight-talking chef from MasterChef , has been opening up about how things have changed in his marriage to actress and fellow TV cook Lisa Faulkner. The couple just celebrated six years together, and honestly, it sounds like they’ve learned a lot from each other during that time.
John recently spoke about their relationship in a candid interview, sharing that while things have definitely shifted over the years, it's all been a steady, consistent journey. He said that because they've worked and cooked side-by-side for so long, the changes haven’t felt drastic. “Lisa and I learn from each other all the time,” he said. And when you think about it, that’s kind of beautiful. It’s not some dramatic reinvention—just a constant evolution.
Lisa echoed that sentiment too. She said they often do things differently in the kitchen and in life, and that’s exactly what keeps things fresh. For them, the learning never stops. Even after a decade of being friends and collaborators, there’s always something new to discover about one another.

Of course, it's not all been smooth sailing. Their journey began during complicated times. Both John and Lisa were coming out of their respective marriages when they first reconnected. John actually sent Lisa a handwritten letter to ask her out on a date—a move he later called “cowardly,” but one that clearly paid off. He was nervous she might say no, so the letter was his way of taking a chance without too much risk. Lisa, who’d been through a painful divorce and failed rounds of IVF, said starting something new took a lot of courage. But they took it slow, especially for the sake of her daughter Billie, and it grew from there.
Their relationship has withstood personal hardships, professional drama—including the scandal currently shaking MasterChef , with John himself caught up in allegations surrounding the show—and the scrutiny that comes with being a public couple. But despite the noise, they’ve stayed solid.
Lisa says she loves how romantic John is, down to the little things—like a teabag left by the kettle with a note saying “I love you” when he leaves early in the morning. That, to her, is what romance really looks like. And for John? He jokes that the secret to a good marriage is a well-made bed and nice towels—because the bedroom is their sanctuary.
They continue to co-host John and Lisa’s Weekend Kitchen , now in its tenth series, and say they’re more passionate about food, travel, and each other than ever before. It’s refreshing to hear two people talk so honestly about love—not just the rosy bits, but the changes, the growth, and the intentional effort behind a happy relationship.
And maybe that’s the real takeaway from John and Lisa’s story: love doesn’t stay the same—it matures, it deepens, and if you’re lucky, it only gets stronger with time.
