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.
