The couple met several decades ago, but we aren’t sure when they fell in love. This couple has made sure to keep their personal life a private affair. So, they make sure not much about their relationship is known to the people.

So, all we know for now is that the couple tied the knot several years ago and now comfortably living in their Dulwich home in London. However, we are happy even if we don’t know much about them, as long as they are happy and together! Don’t you agree?

Dan’s humongous talent is evident because he collaborated with his guitar with phenomenal talents as Dollar, Deniece Williams, and Amii Stewart.

The couple is immensely private about their family life, and since they married in 1992, they largely preferred to stay mum about their private life.
