Belinda Shapps: Meet Grant Shapps Wife

Belinda Shapps is the wife of Grant Shapps. She attended King David High School before studying at Leeds Metropolitan University.

Since 2009, Belinda has been a partner at AuctionGirl.co.uk – which promises users to “turn their clutter into cash”. She was by Grant Shapps’ side when he was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 1999 and underwent chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

The treatment was successful and the politician finished his final round of chemotherapy the year after. In 2012, Mr Shapps hailed his wife for her support during that time, telling the Guardian: “She said to me, you can’t die, we’ve got too much to do together.

“She was brilliant.”

Grant met Belinda Goldstone in 1995 in a pub in Leeds, when Grant was 26 and she was 21. At first, Belinda didn’t find Grant attractive but weeks later she decided to get in touch with him and from there, sparks flew.

She moved to London and in August 1997 they tied the knot. Shapps has three children with his wife Belinda.

As a result of his chemotherapy treatment, the youngsters were conceived by IVF. Grant’s sperm was frozen before treatment began.

Their children are a boy called Hadley and daughter and son twins Tabytha and Noa. Eldest son Hadley was born in 2001 and the twins followed in 2004.

He was able to have children despite fears he’d be unable to when he was diagnosed with cancer. Mr Shapps told the Express in 2014: “I was told I had cancer and would never have children.”
