Shannon, from Oldham, has married Paul Smith
Paul Smith, 28, currently holds the title of UK's Strongest man while his partner, Shannon, 29, won the title of World's Strongest Woman in 2021. The pair met in 2017 when Paul visited the same gym Shannon trained at.
“I was last year's World’s Strongest Woman in my weight class and hopefully I’ll come back to take the title in 2024. We help coach each other and help each other out – it feels like a normal part of our relationship.” Between them, they hold a variety of national titles alongside being UK and World competition winner. Paul has been crowned England's Strongest Man four times, while Shannon has held the title of England's Strongest Woman twice.
"It just turned into a relationship and I don’t think either of us was really expecting it. We got married in Cyprus – it was a really small wedding, there were only seven people there in total.
