Who is Jennifer Saunders' husband?
Jennifer, 62, is married to fellow comedy actor Adrian Edmondson. Adrian, 63, is perhaps best known for his TV sitcom work in shows such as The Young Ones, Bottom and The Comic Strip Presents… opposite the late Rik Mayall.
After studying drama at Manchester University Adrian began his career working the comedy circuit of the 1980s with Rik. The duo, along with other comedians of the time such as Nigel Planer and Alexei Sayle, became well-known within their industry and went on to write shows such as Bad News and Five Go Mad in Dorset.
In more recent years, Adrian has undertaken roles away from the comedy scene. He's appeared in shows such as Jonathan Creek, Holby City, EastEnders and Bancroft. He even had a role in the 2017 Stars Wars film, The Last Jedi.

Do Jennifer Saunders and Adrian Edmondson have children?
Jennifer and Adrian are parents to three daughters, Ella, Beattie and Freya, and have four grandchildren. The couple are usually private about their family life, but Adrian did make a rare comment about his loved ones in the Guardian back in 2018. Talking about his happy place, he said at the time: "My granddaughter is only one, but she gives the best hugs. That's when I'm happiest at the moment."
In the same interview, he also gave a snippet of his early relationship with Jennifer. He said: "When we were first going out, whenever I went round to Jennifer's place, she'd open the door and we would snog for 10 minutes before even saying hello. It was amazing."
