In a story that proves love can blossom in the most unexpected ways, Sarah Greene, the beloved BBC One presenter of The Finish Line, has opened up about finding new love after the heartbreaking loss of her husband, Mike Smith, in 2014.
Sarah and Mike’s Love Story
Sarah Greene, now 68, was devastated when her husband, Mike, passed away after heart surgery. But years later, Sarah’s heart found healing in a surprising place—through Robb Gravett, one of Mike’s oldest friends and a former British Touring Car champion.
Their shared love for racing and mutual respect for Mike led them to an unexpected connection. Together, they once led the Trakstar team to victory in 1990, but it was their bond with Mike that truly brought them together.
A New Chapter: Sarah’s Cautious Path to Love
Speaking on the My Time Capsule podcast, Sarah shared the delicate way Robb reached out to her after Mike’s death. At first, Sarah thought he was just being kind, leaving patient messages on her answering machine. But soon, she realized Robb’s feelings ran deeper—he had romantic interest in her.
“I sort of know Mike is pulling so many strings in my life,” Sarah admitted. “He has undoubtedly been responsible for me meeting my beloved, who was one of his oldest friends. I thought Robb was just being kind—but then I got the message loud and clear: he wanted to take me out!”
Navigating Love After Loss
Entering a new relationship after Mike’s death wasn’t easy for Sarah. With photos of Mike still around the house, she felt nervous about moving on. But Robb reassured her with kind words, saying, “It would be strange if the photos weren’t there. And remember, I love him too.”
Their story serves as a touching reminder that love doesn’t have an expiration date. Even after loss, it’s possible to find new hope and happiness through unexpected connections. Sometimes, the ties of the past open the door to a brighter future. ❤️

Sarah Greene’s journey shows us that love can return when we least expect it, and connections from the past can pave the way for new beginnings. As Sarah and Robb look toward the future, their story is a testament to the power of love, patience, and resilience.
