Back in 2018, Jonathan revealed the secret to their happy, stable marriage to HELLO!, explaining that it was just to "be nice to each other and talk" – sometimes it's the simplest things that make a marriage work!
Do Jonathan and Jane have children?
Jonathan and Jane share three grown-up children: Betty, 34, Harvey, 32, and Honey, 28. Though Betty and Harvey have pursued careers out of the spotlight, away from the entertainment industry, Honey has become quite the famous name in her own right.

She said, on the panel: "They saw me, a teenage girl coming home saying: 'I hate my body.' They tried to give me solutions to a problem I brought to them, which was to lose weight. They presented me with diets, and diets, as we know, don't work and are absolutely toxic."
Honey then gave her advice to parents, suggesting they keep diet culture "far away from your children as possible", adding: "If you want them to have a good relationship with food and their bodies growing up, do not shame them."
