Danniella Carraturo is an Italian Pilates instructor and professional dancer based in London. She is perhaps best known publicly as the wife of English singer-songwriter Tom Grennan, though her identity extends well beyond that single association. She has built a credible, independent career in the fitness and performing arts world, running her own Pilates studio and working with clients across London’s most respected boutique wellness spaces.
In an era where public figures’ partners are routinely pulled into media cycles, Carraturo has taken a different path entirely. She does not give press interviews, does not seek coverage, and has kept the details of her personal life firmly private. What is known about her comes largely through Grennan’s own public statements — and through her professional work, which speaks for itself.
This profile draws only on verified, publicly available sources. Where confirmed information does not exist, that is stated clearly rather than filled with speculation.
Early Life & Background
Danniella Carraturo is Italian by heritage, though she has been based in London for much of her adult life. Specific details about her childhood, the region of Italy she originates from, or the circumstances of her upbringing have not been publicly confirmed. Her exact date of birth has not been disclosed, though various reports suggest she is broadly around the same age as her husband Tom Grennan, who was born in June 1995 — placing her in her late twenties to early thirties as of 2025.
Her parents are named Franco Carraturo and Sue Toro Carraturo. She has at least one sister and one brother. Beyond these publicly reported facts, details about her upbringing, schooling, or early years in Italy have not been confirmed by any verifiable source.
What can be said with confidence is that Carraturo entered the performing arts at a meaningful age. According to information previously available on her professional website, she developed a serious interest in dance during her time at Performing Arts college, where she was also introduced to Mat Pilates — a discipline that would later become central to her working life. She went on to complete a professional dance career spanning more than eight years internationally, before transitioning into teaching and fitness instruction.
The route from professional dancer to certified Pilates instructor is a fairly common one in the wellness world — dancers bring with them an innate understanding of body mechanics, posture, and controlled movement that lends credibility to Pilates teaching. In Carraturo’s case, she formalised that background by completing her Level 3 Mat Pilates qualifications, giving her the credentials to teach independently.
Career as a Pilates Instructor & Dancer
Carraturo’s professional Pilates career is grounded and genuinely established. Before founding her own studio, she taught at several well-regarded boutique fitness spaces across London, including BLOK, KXU, and KX — all of which are known for their high-end, instructor-led approach to movement and wellness. These are not entry-level venues; working within them typically requires proven teaching ability and a certain professional reputation.
In early 2021, she launched Danni Pilates — her own independent Pilates business, through which she offers private sessions, duo classes, and online instruction. The studio appears to be based in the Brookmans Park area. This shift to independent practice reflects a deliberate professional choice: working with clients on a personal, sustained basis rather than within large group settings.
She is also listed as an instructor at Exhale Pilates London, a respected studio in the city, which she joined from early 2022. The dual track — running her own studio while also working within an established space — is characteristic of a practitioner who takes the craft seriously.
Before Pilates took centre stage, Carraturo had an eight-year career as a professional dancer working internationally. The specific productions, companies, or countries involved in that career have not been publicly detailed, which is consistent with her wider approach to privacy. But the longevity of that career — eight years at a professional level — suggests sustained discipline and commitment well before wellness instruction became her primary focus.

Professional Work & Financial Life
Danniella Carraturo earns her living as an independent Pilates instructor and personal trainer. She operates Danni Pilates as her primary business — offering private sessions, duo Pilates, and live online classes. She has also taught at established London studios including BLOK and KX, which are considered premium in the UK boutique fitness market.
Relationship with Tom Grennan & Family Life
Danniella Carraturo and Tom Grennan first crossed paths just before the COVID-19 lockdown began in the UK — meeting, according to Grennan’s own account on Jessie Ware’s podcast Table Manners in July 2021, in a lift at a bar. The setting was entirely unplanned, and the relationship that followed developed quietly out of public view.
Tom was candid in early 2021 that he wanted to keep the relationship private — a decision consistent with his broader instinct to protect the people around him from the pressures that come with being a public figure. The couple’s engagement was confirmed publicly in May 2022, when Grennan revealed it during a conversation with Rolling Stone Australia. He described Carraturo as someone who had “changed his life completely” and his “best mate” — straightforward words, but ones he clearly meant.
Their engagement was also the inspiration behind Grennan’s 2022 single “Remind Me.” He described the track as being about reconnecting with someone special following a period of separation, and later confirmed Carraturo was the person he had written it for.
The couple married in May 2024 in a countryside setting — details of the venue were not released publicly, consistent with their usual approach. Grennan announced the marriage on Instagram with a photograph of the two of them against a backdrop of rolling fields, captioned simply: “Life starts now.” The post drew congratulations from a string of British music names including Olly Murs, Ellie Goulding, Ronan Keating, and Becky Hill, along with broadcasters and television personalities.
In August 2025, Grennan announced on Instagram that the couple had become parents — welcoming a daughter earlier that year. The announcement came alongside news that his fourth studio album, Everywhere I Went, Led Me to Where I Didn’t Want to Be, had debuted at number one in the UK — making him one of only a handful of British artists to have achieved three consecutive chart-topping albums. He described becoming a father as “the greatest gift I could ever imagine.” The daughter’s name has been reported in various outlets, though no confirmed name has been officially released by the couple themselves.

Carraturo maintains an Instagram account under the handle @dannipilates, which is primarily used in connection with her professional Pilates work rather than as a personal lifestyle platform. She does not appear to have a public Twitter presence, and no verified public statements from her personally are on record.
The couple’s approach to privacy is notable in the current media landscape, where the partners of chart-topping musicians are frequently profiled, photographed, and discussed as extensions of the artist’s public persona. Carraturo and Grennan have both resisted that pattern. She attends events with him occasionally — the couple appeared together at the evian VIP Suite at Wimbledon in June 2022 — but there is no indication that either of them intends to change the boundaries they have set around their family life.
