Gabby Logan, 51, has revealed the secret to her happy marriage to husband Kenny, 52, after he detailed how his battle with prostate cancer affected his sex life (pictured in May).
The sports presenter and the rugby star have been together for 23 years and confessed that they keep two duvets in the bedroom to make each other happy.
Gabby recently said she and Kenny are still adjusting to her twins Lois and Reuben, 19, moving out of the family home and the mother-of-two revealed she can now do things she wouldn’t have done before.
she said Bella Magazine: ‘Although it is sad, it brings with it flexibility. You can do things you wouldn’t have done before.’
Recalling when she and Kenny first started dating, Gabby added, “It reminded me of when Kenny and I first started dating.”
“We lived in Chiswick and I drove there the other day and had a real flashback to our early life as a couple in our twenties.”
The TV presenter also added that she would love to rent out her house and live in central London for a few years.
It comes after her husband Kenny opened up about his battle with prostate cancer, as well as the impact this had on his sex life.
After being given the all-clear in 2023 following surgery to have his prostate removed, Kenny spoke candidly about the after-effects of the treatment, saying it left him “black and sad down there” and that his sex life was “inconsistent”.
Thanks to his frank confessions, “many people” have told the former athlete that they have now undergone prostate cancer screening.
When asked how they had kept their marriage happy, Gabby admitted to The Mirror: ‘He (Kenny) would say two duvets!’
However, Kenny probably didn’t want the conversation about his diagnosis (and his sex life) to continue as long as it has, with numerous headlines and subsequent arguments, and even his son, Reuben, 19, has pleaded with his parents. “stop talking about your sex life.”
Speaking to FEMAIL, Gabby revealed: “Kenny was eager to talk about it after his operation, because he was very grateful that he indirectly discovered his prostate cancer by listening to an episode of (my) The Mid.Point Podcast.’
“And he said, ‘I wasn’t aware of this, and I was so oblivious to the fact that it’s much more common in men in their 50s, this is the age, basically, to get tested.’
‘And that’s why I wanted to talk about it on an episode of The Mid.Point. So we agreed we would do it later, but we made some clips along the way. And he said, “Look, I want to do this, but I don’t want to be like a poster child for prostate cancer.”
Gabby explained how her husband felt after the podcast, saying, “He feels like it’s done, but of course then conversations keep coming up and, as the kids would say, like Reuben said, “I think it’s great that you talked about it.” Dad’s prostate cancer. Now stop talking about your sex life.”
He continued: “I guess my kids are used to the fact that we’ve been in the public eye, so to speak, but they don’t really want us to get into the kind of machinations of our sex life, which I respect, and I totally agree with.” agree with.”
Even Kenny’s mother commented on the issue, with the BBC presenter revealing: “His mother said, ‘Oh, you’re in the paper today talking about your sex life again.’ And he said, ‘Well, in It’s not really about that, mom. “It’s prostate cancer.”
However, Gabby was proud that her husband was discussing the problems and symptoms related to cancer and its treatment.
She continued, “But also make each other laugh and respect each other’s goals and dreams and hopes and never feel jealous.”
The star added that “talking about the reality of having prostate cancer and the risks of it not functioning as well or not working at all” was “a very emotional thing to deal with.”
Gabby went on to say, “I think it’s important to talk about it because there are a lot of other things that can happen to men in midlife that affect that and how it affects your relationship, and how it affects your feelings about yourself, all those things.” which I think will affect many men.
“And I think the more people who can talk openly with their partners about these kinds of things, the better it will be for them to be able to deal with it.”
Kenny’s prostate cancer was discovered after he went to the doctor to check his testosterone levels.
Speaking to The Telegraph in 2023, Kenny said: ‘Whether it’s my dyslexia, my relationship, IVF, we’ve always been pretty open. So, I was very happy to talk about erectile dysfunction and all that other stuff because I thought, “It’s a symptom.”
Kenny continued: ‘From a sexual point of view, it’s not consistent. According to what the surgeon told me, this could take 18 months. After a month, I started to feel movement, and he says, “That’s amazing.” So it’s just not that consistent. The good thing is that you can take a tablet and that changes things.”
Reiterating the need for all men his age to get checked, he said: “If I can help one person, that would be fantastic.” But I’ve probably helped a lot of people with the coverage I had.’
