Who is Edith Bowman married to?

Edith is married to Editors frontman Tom Smith, who she wed in 2013.
The pair live together in London with their two sons - Rudy and Spice.

Bowman has previously spoken of her relationship with Smith.

She said: "My husband asked me to marry him in 2013 when I was least expecting it.

"We’d always joked that we’d get married on our 10th anniversary together, but it still took me by surprise.

"We’ve lasted because we’re respectful of each other and each other’s work.

"Both our professional lives are in the public eye, so our relationship is private."

"I manage to juggle family and work commitments because Tom and I coordinate our diaries.

"We also have an amazing nanny, who is a mother herself. That’s the thing I’ve come to terms with – it’s all right to ask for help."
