Steve Jones has made quite a name for himself having fronted numerous shows including The X Factor USA, Sky's Guinness World Records Smashed and ITV's live music special, A Night with Beyoncé.
Since 2016, the 47-year-old Welshman has been fronting Channel 4's coverage of Formula 1 alongside pundits Lee McKenzie and Billy Monger as well as former F1 drivers David Coulthard and Mark Webber. With the racing format on most weekends, Steve has made quite the name for himself over the past few years, but he's not the only one of his family in the public eye.

Wife
Steve Jones is married to Phylicia Jackson-Jones, a Las Vegas-born recipe developer, food photographer and blogger. She has written healthy recipes for Waitrose Weekend magazine since 2015 with her LinkedIn bio describing the star as "an avid blogger and love to write about food, travel and wellbeing". On her social media channels, she also regularly shows off her artistic side as a talented watercolour artist.
Steve and Phylicia met while the TV presenter was living in LA, presumably filming for The X Factor USA. Speaking to RadioTimes.com back in 2015, he revealed that they were first acquainted with each other at a mutual friend's birthday party.

"It was very traditional in that sense… she always said to me that I was a little bit cold, because I was talking to one of my friends about a serious subject, and I wanted to finish the chat first rather than go, 'excuse me, there's a woman over there!'"
In 2013, the 36-year-old relocated to London with Steve. The pair tied the knot in October 2014 in a low-key ceremony at the Mayfair Library, holding a reception near Tower Bridge. The couple do not share any children but own two dogs and split their time between Bray, Berkshire and Los Angeles.

The Perfect House presenter often gushes about his wife on Instagram. He previously wrote a sweet tribute to Phylicia: "My girl has been writing recipes for @waitroseandpartners for a while but tomorrow's Waitrose Weekend paper will contain her first feature piece. I couldn't be more proud. She's the reason I'm so happy and the reason why you can't see my stomach muscles anymore. Give her a follow for foodie inspiration and a good dribble @the_modern_mrs."
Famous exes
Steve has been linked with numerous A-list stars with the likes of Paris Hilton and Halle Berry reportedly handing the star their numbers following interviews. Steve jetted out on a 12,000-mile round trip to enjoy a lunch date with former Bond girl Halle following her split from second husband, Eric Benet. "I'm not saying much about it – a gentleman never tells," he shared at the time. "She is going through a hard time and I don’t want to add to it, but she is a lovely lady."

One of his major relationships was with One Show presenter Alex Jones, but their relationship went south after Alex claimed Steve "stole" an interview with Angelina Jolie out from under her. "I was staying in his flat at the time when I was working in London and he picked up the landline and said 'Al's not here. She's not feeling well, she's had to go back to Cardiff', I was in Topshop," she explained on the Dish podcast, adding: "So he did the interview."
