Personal Life
Welch had a long-term relationship with a literary editor, Stuart Hammond, from 2008. Their temporary split provided inspiration for much of the Lungs album. Welch says, "He prefers me not to talk about it. It's funny then singing about it." In 2011 the couple broke up by mutual decision because of conflicting career demands, and the breakup provided material for Florence + the Machine's second album, Ceremonials.
