Is Anna Wintour married?

Born in London, England, on November 3, 1949, Anna Wintour is a British journalist based in New York City.

On October 21, 2020, Page Six reported that the famed media executive had split with her second husband, Shelby Bryan, whom she wed in 2004.

Per the Daily Mail, Anna dumped her partner because she was "bored," the same reason why she reportedly left her first husband, David Shaffer.

"It's no surprise Anna dumped him. She gets bored with people quickly and I believe that's why she ended it with Shelby," a source told the outlet.

"But there are always two sides to every love story, and the relationship with Anna became strained for Shelby who found it difficult to deal with her driven style and ambition, a woman whose life revolves around Vogue, the world's fashion Bible that she dominates with an iron hand in a velvet glove.

"Anna and Shelby haven't actually really been together for a number of years, but kept their apparent split low profile, because they were going in different directions. The thing with Shelby is a repeat of what ended it with David – Anna gets bored, and her career takes precedence over all."

It is not known if the former couple has divorced.

How did Anna Wintour meet Shelby Bryan?

Anna and Shelby met at the Benefit Ball for the New York Ballet in 1997.

They were both married to other people at the time.

Speculation about their relationship grew, with them splitting with their respective partners.

They officially began dating in 1999, per Hollywood Life.

Shelby was born in Texas on March 21, 1946.

He attended The University of Texas at Austin and Harvard Business School. He joined Morgan Stanley in 1973.

How many times has Anna Wintour been married?

Anna has been married twice.

The Met Gala chairwoman's first husband, David, was an American professor whom she married in 1984 and divorced in 1999.

The pair had two kids, including son Charles "Charlie" Shaffer and daughter Katherine "Bee" Shaffer.

They welcomed Charlie in 1985 and Bee in 1987.

David was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, on April 20, 1936.

He worked as a child psychiatrist who researched suicide in children and teenagers.

He had two sons, Joe and Sam Shaffer, from his first marriage to chef and caterer Serena Bass.

It was rumoured that Anna was having an affair with Shelby - who was soon to become her second husband.

David died at age 87 on October 15, 2023, in Mastic Beach, New York.

According to The Washington Post, his cause of death was complications of Alzheimer’s disease, per Charlie.
