News of the Vogue editor-in-chief’s split has many asking the same question: Who is Anna Wintour’s ex-husband, Shelby Bryan? Plenty of us are more than familiar with the 70-year-old queen of fashion herself, but the same can’t be said when it comes to Shelby. That said, there is lots to know about the 74-year-old businessman—but first, let’s break down why the pair have decided to end their relationship after 20 years together.
On October 22, Page Six was the first to report on the pair’s breakup. Earlier reports from the outlet suggested that Anna and Shelby’s relationship had “cooled off” as they hadn’t been seen together in public for quite some time, but a new source has now reportedly confirmed that they’re officially done. A separate source for ET corroborated on news of the split, adding that this “is not a new story,” as “they haven’t been together for a while.”
Speculation of their split first began in November 2019, after Page Six reported that Anna and Shelby had fallen on hard times in 2013. This was especially the case for Shelby, financially speaking. According to the outlet, the businessman appeared to owe the IRS approximately $1.2 million in back taxes at the time. Which, again, leads us to wonder: who is Anna Wintour’s ex-husband, Shelby Bryan, exactly?
