Who is Mo Farah’s wife Tania?
Tania met the future Olympian when they were students at a west London university.
She keeps a low profile, but told The Telegraph she misses Mo when he’s training away from home.
She said: “It’s hard but it’s something that we’ve had to cope with since we first got together really.
“Mo was going away a lot from day one, so I had to get used to that pretty quickly.”
When did they get married?
The couple married in 2010, celebrating with a lavish wedding in Richmond.
Paula Radcliffe, Steve Cram and Jo Pavey were just some of the big names in attendance.
Due to Farah’s training, they used to live in their adopted home of Portland, Oregon.
Tania opened a “royal-theme”‘ luxury spa in Portland, named the British Manor Spa in May 2017.
But they have since moved back to London.

His father was killed in Civil War in Somaliland and his mother has never visited the UK.
He told the BBC: “For years I just kept blocking it out,” the Team GB athlete says. But you can only block it out for so long.”
