Mike Brewer is best known for his role on the hit, classic car show, Wheeler Dealers , but little is known about him away from the cameras. The 60-year-old is committed to his small family and runs a business alongside his wife, Michelle. Despite his successful onscreen and off-screen career, he has also admitted to struggling with booze and his mental health and credits Michelle for keeping him grounded.
The couple, who married in 1992, share a passion for cars and run a dealership, One Automotive, in Warwick. Michelle also frequently appears on Brewer's Wheeler Dealer podcast , where she shows off her impressive knowledge about motors and while she doesn't give much insight into their private life, fans can see how supportive the pair is of each other. However, Mike once spoke candidly about the toll his career has taken on his personal life.
During a special episode of the podcast, marking Wheeler Dealers' 20th anniversary last year, he admitted the strain his work has placed on his marriage. “I’ve literally dedicated my life—26 years actually—to this craft,” he said. “It’s given me an amazing life, but it’s also come at the cost of my marriage.
"[We’re still together], [she’s] never held me back once. But there comes a time when I look and think, maybe I should spend more time with my wife? She drives me mad, but I love being with her.” Due to the challenges, the couple took a break in 2022 for a month-long, 3,000-mile road trip, which Mike described.
