Johanna Griggs confesses: “I wish I met my husband earlier”
She is one of the most popular faces on our TV screens as the host of House Rules and Better Homes & Gardens.
Speaking to NowToLove, the 44-year-old opened up about “the most awesome person” she knows – and you would be surprised to hear it’s not her adorable new grandson, Jax – who was born in March to her son Joe, 21, and his partner Katie – but her husband, Todd Huggins.
The TV host says it’s the love of her doting partner that keeps her going.
Johanna told NowToLove, “I don’t think there’s many men who would have a wife who spends 90 per cent of their life travelling and never be insecure about it because he’s so confident in his own skin.”
The new grandmother added, “He’s pretty exceptional.”
The mum-of-two, who shares her two sons with former husband and actor Gary Sweet, met Todd – who is a building foreman – through mutual friends and they will celebrate their 12th wedding anniversary in November this year.
While eternally grateful to have met Todd, Johanna says her one big regret is that their paths didn’t cross sooner.
“I feel so lucky I met him, but I wish I met him earlier,” she confessed.
“He’s awesome. He’s such a ripper. He’s just the most awesome person I know. He’s funny, he’s the first person to take the mickey out of himself, he’s kind, genuine and just a stand-up human being. You can rely on him,” the former Olympic swimmer added.
