Is Jane Moore married? Who is her husband?

Gary was the former vice-president of communications at Sony Music Entertainment and the couple’s wedding in 2002 saw the legendary likes of Elton John in attendance.

Sadly, after two decades together in December 2022, Jane revealed her divorce plans on Loose Women.

"So Gary and I are separating. But it's weird that it's out there because we've been processing it for about a year. We're both quite private people. We had discussed it last year, and it was going to happen last year," she said on the show.

Divorce proceedings were put on hold after a broken leg injury which left Gary needing time to heal and someone to care for him.

Jane went on to say: "It is weird because I've been sort of caring for him. That's enabled us to segue into processing it, first of all, and segue into a really nice friendship. I would always say he is my best friend.

“And I hope if he was sitting here he would say I am his best friend. And I'm just very, very keen that we don't lose that element of it."

Does Jane Moore have children?

Jane and Gary co-raised three girls, Ellie, Grace and Lauren. Ellie and Grace are Jane’s biological children from her previous relationship, and she’s stepmother to Gary’s daughter, Lauren, from his previous relationship.

Despite their divorce, Jane revealed that the pair planned to buy new homes still close to one another for the next chapter of their lives.

Before heading into the jungle, Jane had some reservations about navigating the change from journalist to celebrity, in particular when it came to what her daughters would see online.

“I've said to my daughter, don't go looking for things, because it will pass... When it's all over, it's all over.

“For me, if it doesn't make it into a printed newspaper, then it's not a story... So it's just people on a social media platform who don't agree with what you've said, getting hot under the collar because they don't agree with you.”
