Personal Life
In 2009, Walliams began dating Dutch model Lara Stone. On 20 January 2010, it became known that they were engaged. Walliams proposed to Stone in Los Angeles, after her parents gave their blessing to the relationship. On 16 May 2010, the couple were married at central London's Claridge's Hotel.
He has previously been romantically linked to Patsy Kensit, Abi Titmuss, Emily Scott, and model Lauren Budd.
Walliams has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and described his 2006 swim of the English Channel as "some sort of redemption". He admitted to going through periods of intense self-loathing and suffered a mental breakdown, and had insomnia for nine months until he sought professional help.
Walliams does a track-by-track interview with Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe on the new Pet Shop Boys album Elysium.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“Life is not an easy matter.... You cannot live through it without falling into frustration and cynicism unless you have before you a great idea which raises you above personal misery, above weakness, above all kinds of perfidy and baseness.”
—Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)
“Reminiscences, even extensive ones, do not always amount to an autobiography.... For autobiography has to do with time, with sequence and what makes up the continuous flow of life. Here, I am talking of a space, of moments and discontinuities. For even if months and years appear here, it is in the form they have in the moment of recollection. This strange form—it may be called fleeting or eternal—is in neither case the stuff that life is made of.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
