Not much is known about Martin Bashir’s wife Deborah, also known in the public eye as Debbie.
Martin keeps his personal life private and it seems that Deborah doesn’t work in showbiz. Her Instagram account is private too. In 2008, Martin was diagnosed with a brain tumour. Deborah was there to support him during that illness.
The tumour was found through a scan following a head injury Martin sustained. In October 2020 Martin suffered from coronavirus during a difficult time for his family. They kept the details of Martin’s complications private.
The couple has three children, Samuel, Phoebe and Eliza. Again, they keep out the public eye so not much is openly known about their lives. In February 2019, Martin announced on Twitter that Phoebe had given birth to her first child, making him and Deborah grandparents.
He posted: “A little joyous news: our precious daughter Phoebe has just delivered a healthy firstborn. The little fella and his Mama are both doing well: Deo Gratias.”
Martin Henry Bashir is a British former journalist. He was a presenter on British and American television and for the BBC’s Panorama programme, for which he interviewed Diana, Princess of Wales in 1995.
Bashir worked for the BBC from 1986 to 1999 on programmes including Panorama before joining ITV. He presented the 2003 ITV documentary about Michael Jackson.
From 2004 to 2016, he worked in New York, first as an anchor for ABC’s Nightline and then as a political commentator for MSNBC, hosting his own programme, Martin Bashir, and a correspondent for NBC’s Dateline NBC.
He resigned from his position at MSNBC in December 2013 after making “ill-judged” comments about the former governor of Alaska and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. In 2016, he returned to the BBC as a religious affairs correspondent.
