Jack Whitehall's relationship with Roxy Horner started in "quite a surreal way".
The 37-year-old actor/comedian became engaged to the model in 2024 and they are parents to a daughter together, and Jack has now explained the romance got off to a strange start because Roxy came to visit him in London from Australia after three dates and they ended up living together in a "house share" because of the COVID-19 lockdowns.
He told the Guardian newspaper: "I said: ‘Come back to England and we can hang out.’ She flew over and pretty soon after that we went into lockdown.
"We were suddenly in a sort of house share, with my brother and his partner. It was quite a surreal way to start a relationship.
"It helped that the government said she couldn’t leave my house. It was a good way to guarantee quality time together."
Jack explained the romance progressed during that time but they went "all the way into this relationship without doing anything normal, meeting the parents, meeting all my friends."
In the interview, Jack revealed all the change in his personal life has helped his career because it's given him more material for his stand-up shows.
He explained: "I did tours back to back. I’d run out of life experience. I’d talked about every f****** thing that had ever happened to me, I’d done every possible iteration of joke about my dad.
"In the interim three or four years, I’ve got engaged, I’m planning a wedding, I’ll have had some time in married life, I’ve had a daughter, I’m now the father of a toddler. It felt as if I had stuff to talk about again."
It comes after Jack admitted telling a joke about the 2025 theft of £78 million worth of gems from the Louvre gallery in Paris, France didn't go down well during a hosting gig at a jewellery awards show in Monaco, revealing he "died on (his) a***" in front of an unimpressed audience.
In an interview on The Graham Norton Show, Jack recalled: "I was hosting a jewellery awards event in Monaco and I was wondering what on earth I could talk about when the comedy gods delivered the Louvre heist.
"I don't speak French, so I had no idea that the woman that came on before me said the robbery was one of the most tragic things that had ever happened to the French people, and on I come with a high viz vest with a load of prop jewellery.
"When I said, 'Who wants Napoleon's tiara', it was tumbleweed. I died on my a***. "How did I know that mentioning 'heist' five times to a room full of jewellers is like shouting 'bomb' at an airport. It was horrendous!"
