Naga Munchetty, 49, has shared one crucial piece of relationship advice she has learnt in her love life.
Instead of sharing the secret to a long-lasting marriage, the BBC Breakfast star reassured fans that they shouldn't be afraid when relationships end.

"But he was wonderful, my first boyfriend. I was with him for a couple of years. I think it’s so good to have boyfriends and girlfriends when you’re younger, because you learn to accept that things don’t necessarily last, and they don’t have to."
She continued: "You can enjoy the time you have. You’re changing, things change... But ending relationships will always cause pain, so do it with kindness."
Naga's wedding
The BBC Radio 5 Live presenter married James in 2007, but she has only shared a handful of details about their big day.
One framed photo from their wedding was on display in Naga's home during a photoshoot shared in 2016. It shows the journalist posing alongside her mother wearing an ivory corseted dress with unique choker detailing around her neck.

Naga admitted she suffered a mishap with her wedding dress during her BBC Radio 5 Live show. "I don't know if I styled it out, but I did fall over in a big, puffy wedding dress during my first dance to You're Just Too Good To Be True," she said.
"We even figured out a dance routine and everything. It didn't go to plan but the wedding day was a success apart from that."
Marriage advice
On her big day, Naga received some crucial marriage advice that she swears by today.
"When James and I got married almost 12 years ago, one of his aunts said to us: the best bit of advice I can give you is to simply be kind to one another. She was right," Naga told The Guardian in 2016.

Naga gushed on the Her Spirit podcast: "James and I don't row, and he's a lovely, lovely man, he's definitely the better half."
