Who is Wes Brown’s wife Leanne?
LEANNE Brown launched to fame as one of the stars of The Real Housewives of Cheshire - with her own business and a beautiful family to boot.
In 2018 she sensationally quit the show - here's what we know about the wife of ex-Manchester United star Wes Brown...
Who is Leanne Brown, how old is she and what's her background?
Leanne Brown is a TV personality, mother, wife and clothing designer who is a cast member on the Real Housewives of Cheshire, though she's originally from Cumbria.
The former lapdancer met husband Wes 18 years ago when she moved to Manchester to train as a beautician.
Fans love to see the lavish lifestyle of the 43-year-old star, who is said to be worth around £10million with husband Wes.
Why did Leanne Brown quit The Real Housewives of Cheshire?
The Sun revealed that Leanne has quit the show after three years.
She has become fed up with the ITVBe show and wants to focus on more charity work.
A source said: “Leanne feels she’s done her time on the show and has had enough.
“She’s now off to do a bit of philanthropy which she feels is a lot more worthwhile.
“It’s what she’s been passionate about and the show was a bit of a sideline really.
“She’ll obviously be sorely missed as she’s a big character, but I doubt the feeling’s mutual.”
The Sun previously revealed that Leanne had threatened to quit last year after a massive fall out with fellow cast member Dawn Ward and the pair “refused” to film together last season.
Who is her husband Wes Brown?
Real Housewives star Leanne is married to Wes Brown, a former professional footballer who last played in England for Blackburn Rovers.
He started his career at Man Utd where he made 232 appearances as a defender.
After 15 years with the club, he left to play for Sunderland for five years, before moving to Blackburn Rovers in 2016.
He tied the knot with Leanne in 2009 in an opulent ceremony at Peckforton Castle.
The pair have three daughters together, Halle, Lilia and Lola.
The Browns are good friends with the Rooney's and enjoyed a holiday together in Mykonos just three months before Wayne's drink-driving scandal.
Wayne was out with Wes and another housewife connection, Tanya Bardsley's brother-in-law when he met party girl Laura Simpson.
