How did Ben Stokes meet his wife?

Ben Stokes’s wife, Clare, met the cricketer in August 2010. It was during a Lancashire v Durham game at Old Trafford that the couple first crossed each other’s paths. Ben Stokes was just starting off with his career when he met his future wife. She sent a friend request on Facebook and that’s how it all started off. Stokes later took her to some of his games and taught her some of the finer strategies and points.

The pair maintained a long-distance relationship in the initial stages as Stokes was living in Durham and Clare was studying in Taunton. After five months of knowing each other, they made their relationship official on Facebook.

When did Ben Stokes get married?

They were in a live-in relationship for a long period before their marriage and were already parents to an adorable son, Layton, born in 2012. A couple of years later, their beautiful daughter, Libby, also arrived.

But after the tragic death of Ben Stokes's wife’s father, Arthur Ratcliffe, in 2013, the cricketer proposed to her. The pair were engaged for four years before they finally got married on 14 October 2017.
