Who is Tommy Shelby's first wife in Peaky Blinders?

Grace Shelby is Tommy Shelby’s first wife in Peaky Blinders. Born Grace Burgess, she first meets Tommy while working as a barmaid at the Garrison, where she is secretly operating as an undercover agent for the police.

Grace’s relationship with Tommy develops during the first series, even though her original mission is to recover stolen weapons for Inspector Campbell. She eventually leaves Birmingham and marries Clive MacMillan, a wealthy banker, but still has feelings for Tommy. When she returns, the pair reunite, and Grace becomes pregnant with Tommy’s son, Charles.

Tommy and Grace marry in series 3, making her his first wife in the show’s chronology. Lizzie Shelby is Tommy’s later wife, while May Carleton is a romantic interest rather than a spouse. Tatiana Petrovna is also not Tommy’s wife; she is a Russian aristocrat involved in the series 3 storyline.
