After eight marriages, 65-year old Sheppard vows he will not walk down the aisle again because he found true love in wife number 8, a Filipina named Weng.
He gained notoriety because of the number of times he has married and earned the title "Britain's most married man'. He matches the record of British movie icon Elizabeth Taylor. This title has given him a lot of publicity, some of them unwanted.
"I wish I didn't have the title but I have the title so I have to put up with it I'm afraid," Sheppard told ABS-CBN Europe.
He first married in 1966 at the age of 18 and didn’t stop looking for ‘the one’ when his relationships fell apart.
"I still believe that marriage should be for life. I really do, it's just that I didn't find the right person in the first place," he said.
The father of eight who has 13 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren almost gave up on finding the right one for him after the breakdown of his seventh marriage.
After failing the seventh time, he only wanted a companion but his love story panned out differently when he met wife number eight.
