The Beatles once said that ‘money can’t buy you love’, but EuroMillions winner Adrian Bayford has certainly given it a good go in the last twelve years.
The 53-year-old proposed to his ambulance worker fiancée Tracey Biles, 45, at Christmas this year – the fourth time he has done so since scooping up the £148million jackpot in 2012.
The former postman will be hoping he has found true love this time, having already made some big commitments to the relationship, including moving his new in-laws onto the land of his 189 acre abode and into a £1million cottage.
Adrian’s friend told The Sun that the millionaire was actually a ‘real romantic’ at heart and said it ‘felt like nothing could go wrong right now’, despite the previous failings in his relationships.
He originally won the big prize with his ex-wife, Gillian, but the pair split the next year.
They divided their winnings and Gillian moved back to Scotland, leaving Adrian behind in the former mansion that they used to share in Linton, Cambridgeshire.
The millionaire then went on to have relationships with three other women – Marta Jarosz, Sam Burbidge and Lisa Kemp – but they all ended in heartbreak.
But who were these women? And why did their relationship with Adrian break down?
Here is everything you need to know about Adrian Bayford’s former lovers.

Poltics Gillian Bayford
Gillian shared the huge Euromillions winnings with her then-husband Adrian, with whom she shares two children
Gillian shared the huge Euromillions winnings with her then-husband Adrian, with whom she shares two children, aged 15 and 13.
She was working as a hospital worker at the time, while he juggled being a postman alongside a second job running a music shop in Haverhill, Suffolk.
The pair had moved out of Scotland and bought a luxury £6.5million mansion in Linton, Cambridgeshire.
But they split only 15 months later, blaming the stress of handling their newfound wealth for the end of their nine-year marriage.
It came after Mrs Bayford was forced to deny she had an affair with the couple’s gardener, Chris Tovey.
After they divorced, Gillian moved back to Scotland and married convicted fraudster Brian Deans in 2018 and had a child with him during the 2020 Covid lockdown.
However, she threw out the father-of-one last week after he squandered millions of her fortune on cars, holidays, watches and five-star football trips – as friends say he saw her as nothing more than ‘a cash machine’.
Her original plans to start a family with Mr Deans were put on hold last year when a former boyfriend, Gavin Innes, accused her of beating him while they were together.
She was convicted of a breach of the peace and was admonished – meaning she was able to go free with a warning from the judge.
Poltics Marta Jarosz
Working relationship: Adrian Bayford at Stansted Airport with ‘bodyguard and driver’ Marta Jarosz
Polish-born Marta Jarosz became the next woman in Adrian’s life when the pair were spotted together in 2014.
She was said to be working as the millionaire’s bodyguard and driver, after he moved out of the Cambridgeshire estate he bought with wife Gillian.
Adrian initially denied any romantic involvements with former sausage factory worker, but it was then revealed that he asked her to marry him via text.
Jarosz said Adrian begged her to go travelling with him, but she refused because she was already in love with welder Alex Martin, who she fell for on the same night she met the lottery winner for the first time.
Ms Jarosz met Adrian on December 20, 2013, while working as a bouncer at the Rose and Crown pub in Haverhill when he approached her and asked: ‘Do you know who I am?’
Adrian then offered her a £1,200-a-month job as his bodyguard, driver and personal assistant. The pair swapped numbers, and he texted her later that night.
However, on the same evening, Ms Jarosz went for a drink after her shift with Mr Martin and the pair have been together since.
After they parted ways, she was was given a £34,000 top-of-the-range V40.
Poltics Sam Burbidge

Adrian met Sam Burbidge in a pub in February 2014 and whisked her off to a £500-a-night resort in the Maldives, where he proposed.
It was a relationship built on unsteady ground, as on that same holiday, Marta claims Adrian also asked her to be his wife over text and said he would rather be on holiday with her instead.
In 2017, the 29-year-old walked out on the then 46-year-old millionaire, reportedly leaving with ex-partner Alan Suckling.
The ‘horse-mad’ former stable girl then sold 12 of the 30 horses he had bought for her, which was said to be ‘ultimate slap in the face’ for Adrian, who spent millions indulging his fiancee’s love of riding.
Ms Burbidge had been living at his £6million country estate, and had been bought thoroughbred horses, a £100,000 horsebox and a £60,000 sports car.
After leaving him, Ms Burbidge later collected her possessions while Adrian was spending a few days in Scotland visiting his ex-wife Gillian and their two children.
Poltics Lisa Kemp

Adrian then found love in Frankie & Benny’s waitress Lisa Kemp in December 2017.
The pair were thought to be living together at his £12million estate in Haverhill, Suffolk, where staff have codenamed them ‘the honeymooners’, after he had bought her pet chickens.
However, six months later, the Sun revealed the Lotto winner has been dumped for a third time in four years.
The 40-year-old stormed out after she discovered messages sent to Marta, whilst on holiday in South Wales.
Sources say she returned to the mansion and moved out the same day.
Poltics Tracey Biles
Adrian’s latest lover has also been embroiled in romantic drama since getting together with the jackpot winner.
Last year, the MailOnline reported how Mark Newman, 57, said he was left devastated when Tracey walked out on him to start a new life with the former postman.
He claimed that Tracey, 45, had initially told him that she was only in a professional relationship with the millionaire and living in a separate part on his 189 acre estate.

Mark who is 6ft 2ins tall and heavily built, looks astonishingly like the 52-year-old.
But he said it was clear from early in their relationship that she wanted to be with divorced father-of-two Adrian.
Adrian now plans to tie the knot in a no-expense-spared bash at favourite Indian ocean resort — where he also took his three exes.
