In the media[edit]
The Character Euan Pierce from the 2001 American Sitcom Off Centre was based on Rellie. The show's producer Chris Weitz had lived with Rellie in West Village in the late 1990s. Rellie also lived with Toby Young, who made Rellie a character in his 2001 memoir How to Lose Friends and Alienate People.[23] Writing about Rellie, Young wrote that "however famous an actress or beautiful a supermodel, he’ll ask them out to dinner. He's incredibly flirtatious. My cousin sat next to him at a dinner once, and she said it was like sitting next to an octopus on crack."[24]
Personal life[edit]
Rellie's parents were MI6 Director Alastair Rellie and travel writer Annalisa Rellie. Rellie married Lucy Sykes at Christ Church in Chelsea, London SW3 in May 2002, with a reception at Brooks's Club. They live in the West Village of Manhattan and in Bridgehampton, NY.[25]
