Dave Stewart: Career, Relationships, and Life Facts

Ask most people to picture Dave Stewart and they’ll land on the gray suit, the stubble, and that “Sweet Dreams” synth line, but the fuller picture is broader: he was the other half of Eurythmics alongside Annie Lennox, and later produced Stevie Nicks’ 2011 album “In Your Dreams” (Songwriting Magazine (songwriting industry magazine)). The same partnerships that built his career also fueled decades of rumors about his relationships — and, lately, questions about where he actually lives.

Years active: Since the early 1980s ·
Known for: Eurythmics, collaborations with Stevie Nicks ·
Notable collaboration: Produced Stevie Nicks’ “In Your Dreams” (2011) ·
Current spouse: Anoushka Fisz (since 2001) ·
Reported 2025 homes: Nashville, Los Angeles, Harbour Island

Six biographical facts, one pattern: the ones people search for most are about his partnerships, not his solo work.

Were Dave Stewart and Annie Lennox lovers?

No — a point both halves of Eurythmics have made consistently for decades. Stewart and Lennox were writing partners, bandmates, and co-producers, not romantic partners; Lennox has compared the bond to being brother and sister. The creative tension that made the band work was professional, and both have been explicit about that over the years.

The Eurythmics dynamic

• Stewart has said he co-produced the entire Eurythmics catalog with Lennox, from the first recordings through the band’s final albums (Tape Op (recording and production magazine)).
• The breakthrough album “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” turned the duo into global stars, and that same writing partnership stayed the engine of the band.
• Eurythmics emerged in the same synth-pop wave as Phil Oakey‘s Human League — a scene built on strong frontpeople and studio invention.

Their relationship status

• Both have said they never dated; Lennox’s phrase “like brother and sister” remains the standard public summary.
• Stewart’s romantic life ran on a separate track — he married Siobhan Fahey in 1987, years after Eurythmics was established.
• The rumors persisted anyway, because the onstage chemistry was easy to misread.

The implication: onstage chemistry this convincing will always generate gossip — but the people who created the music have given one consistent answer since the 1980s.

Where does Dave Stewart live now?

The best-supported 2025 answer comes from The Times: Stewart keeps homes in Nashville and Los Angeles and spends about six months of the year at Harbour Island in the Bahamas (The Times (UK newspaper interview)). A separate 2025 profile lists London and Hollywood as his bases (Finance Monthly (business and finance magazine)). Both accounts can be true — but “where does he live” has no single public answer.

Current residence in the US

• Los Angeles has a documented pull: “In Your Dreams” was recorded at Nicks’ home there, with Stewart producing (Stevie Nicks Info (fan resource)).
• Nicks has described how quickly the record came together: Stewart sent her the song “Everybody Loves You,” she wrote verses for it, and they began making an album almost immediately (Clash Magazine (music and culture publication)).
• Nashville appears as a home base in the 2025 Times profile, though its role in his daily life is less documented.

What remains unclear

• The exact address of his primary residence is not publicly confirmed; 2025 profiles simply give different answers.
• UK ties persist — London appears in the Finance Monthly profile — but the UK is no longer the center of his working life.

The pattern: Stewart’s homes trace his career — Nashville for songwriting, Los Angeles for production, Harbour Island for escape. The competing profiles are not a contradiction; they are the map of a working musician’s year.

Are Dave Stewart and Siobhan Fahey still married?

No — and the marriage has been over since 1996. Stewart and Fahey married in 1987 (Finance Monthly (business and finance magazine)) and divorced nine years later. He remarried in 2001, and Anoushka Fisz has been his wife ever since.

The marriage to Siobhan Fahey

• The marriage began in 1987, at the height of the Eurythmics era, and ended in 1996.
• The family: two sons with Fahey and two daughters with Fisz, according to a 2025 Times profile (The Times (UK newspaper interview)).

After the divorce

• Stewart married Anoushka Fisz in 2001; the couple has two daughters.
• The marriage to Fisz has passed two decades, making it the longest of his three marriages.
• The 1980s production boom turned producers like Pete Waterman into hit factories; Stewart worked a different lane, co-producing his own band’s records and only later producing for outside artists.

What this means: the Fahey question is settled — the marriage ended in 1996 — and the durable facts of Stewart’s personal life now center on Fisz and their four children.

Key dates in Stewart’s career and personal life

A compact timeline of the moments that connect the music to the relationships.

• 1980s — Stewart and Lennox form Eurythmics; the pair co-produced the band’s catalog together (Tape Op (recording and production magazine)).
• 1987 — Marries Siobhan Fahey (Finance Monthly (business and finance magazine)).
• 1996 — Divorce from Fahey is finalized.
• 2001 — Marries Anoushka Fisz, his third wife.
• 2006 — Films a pilot for his HBO music series with Stevie Nicks (Stevie Nicks Info (fan resource)).
• 2011 — Produces Stevie Nicks’ “In Your Dreams”; Stewart said he and Nicks co-wrote eight or nine songs for the album, with seven making the final record (Fleetwood Mac News (Fleetwood Mac fan site)).

The pattern: personal milestones and professional ones alternate on the same calendar — which is why the relationship questions and the career questions never stay separate for long.

What’s confirmed, what’s not

A quick calibration of the public record.

Confirmed facts

• Stewart co-produced the entire Eurythmics catalog with Annie Lennox (Tape Op (recording and production magazine)).
• “In Your Dreams” was recorded at Stevie Nicks’ Los Angeles home, with Stewart producing (Ultimate Classic Rock (classic rock news site)).
• His current spouse is Anoushka Fisz; the marriage to Siobhan Fahey ended in 1996.

What’s unclear

• Stewart’s primary residence: 2025 profiles give different answers, and he has not publicly designated one home as definitive.
• Stewart has recalled a past personal relationship with Stevie Nicks in a memoir excerpt (Billboard (music industry trade publication)).
• The paternity of the child Stevie Nicks has said she aborted was never confirmed by Nicks or the alleged father.

The trade-off: the public record is unusually rich on Stewart’s music and unusually quiet on his personal life — and the quiet parts are exactly what search traffic keeps asking about.

In their own words

The pattern across the quotes: the people closest to Stewart describe a professional life of intense collaboration — and they keep steering the conversation back to the work.

The takeaway

None of this makes for a tidy biography, which is part of why Dave Stewart still draws so many search queries decades after Eurythmics made him a star. The details are mostly on the record now: the whole Eurythmics catalog was a co-production with Lennox, “In Your Dreams” came together at Nicks’ house, and the marriage to Fahey ended in 1996. For fans of Eurythmics, the choice is clear: judge the work — the catalog, the collaborations, the albums he produced — or keep chasing a relationship timeline that Stewart has already addressed, briefly and on his own terms, in his memoir (Billboard (music industry trade publication)).
