He is notoriously private about his personal life and has never revealed details of his wedding to Precious, who is a Zimbabwean-born academic.
Jon simply stated: “Yes I have got married, but I have absolutely no interest in discussing my private life.”
How big is the couple’s age gap?
Jon has discussed the couple’s age gap in the past, though.
Jon is 73 and Precious is 46, and there’s a 26-year age gap between them.
At the time of their marriage, when Precious would have been in her mid-thirties, Jon stated that her “mental age” was far higher than his.
The newsreader added: “She’s somewhere in her forties. She’s very, very mature. I mean, she’s a serious boffin.”
