Who is Jenny Jones?

It's no secret Kevin McCloud likes to keep his life private so there isn't a lot known about Jenny.

Rumours first began after they were spotted together taking a stroll and visiting some shops in Somerset.

When did Jenny Jones and Kevin McCloud get married?

The pair tied the knot in November 2022, after he split from his ex-wife Suzanna.

The two married in secret and the union was only confirmed when it was announced they were returning from their honeymoon.

It's believed the couple live in Frome, Somerset, where he previously lived with Suzanna.

Kevin grew up in a village in Bedfordshire.

It was here that his interest in architecture became the inspiration for his career.

Kevin and Suzanna were married for 23 years.

They met when Kevin was in his 30s and got married in 1996 - a few before Grand Designs aired.

It was reported Suzanna was left heartbroken after Kevin walked out of the family home.

News of their break-up hit headlines in 2019, but it came to light the couple had been separated two years prior to that.

A pal of Suzanna told the Daily Mail of the previous split: "Zani is absolutely devastated. She came home one day to find that Kevin had taken his things and left."

The pair had two children together Milo and Elsie.

Kevin also has two more children from another relationship, Hugo and Grace.

Hugo followed in Kevin's footsteps and is now an architect.

What does Jenny Jones do for a living?

It is unclear what Jenny's profession is, however, it is believed she is a businesswoman.

Where she works or what sector she works in is unknown.

Her TV host husband previously trained to be an opera singer in Italy before he studied at the University of Cambridge.

After graduating he trained as a theatre designer, later setting up his own lighting design practice.

His first TV gig was in 1998, making a guest appearance presenting Home Front In The Garden on BBC 2.

He later began writing and hosting Channel 4's home improvement show Grand Designs.

He has also presented spin-off show Grand Designs: House Of The Year, as well as Rough Guide To The Future, and Kevin McCloud's Escape To The Wild.

In a 2010 interview with the Daily Mail, Kevin said: "I don't think I'm a celebrity.

"If I welcomed people into my lovely home every week in the pages of a magazine, they'd soon see how incredibly dull it is. It's important to maintain a bit of mystique."

He added: "The more of your private life you put into the public domain, the smaller your private life becomes."
