In the early nineties, while working with her future-Gavin and Stacey co-star, Rob Brydon, for a BBC Wales series, Ruth met TV and radio producer David Peet.
Although David was married with three children, the marriage ended up breaking down before David and Ruth married. David and Ruth tied the knot in 1999 and have been happily married ever since.
Does Ruth Jones have children?
Ruth mostly keeps her private life to herself, but she has opened up about becoming a stepmum to David's three children, Louise, Alex and Fiona, from his previous marriage in the past.
On the subject of not having children of her own, she told the Daily Mail: "It just didn't happen. It wasn't a decision. I don't have a burning desire to have babies. I think it's heartbreaking if you do and you find out you can't have them. I love being a stepmum — all the joy of motherhood without the pain of childbirth."

What has Ruth said about her family?
In addition to opening up about the "joys of parenthood without giving birth", Ruth spoke candidly to The Scotsman newspaper about becoming a stepmum. The actress said: "You take things as they come.
There wasn't a moment when I thought, 'I've become a stepmum now. We never had any difficulty with teenage angst, and now I'm looking forward to becoming a step-grandmother at some point."
