"Happy girl at last... This last week I've been OUT OUT with actual people... howling laughing (normal)... hugging where we can... being IN IN too in restaurants... and work meetings FACE TO FACE and not on ZOOM..."

The former couple were married from 1990 until 2000. Carol has been married twice before: her first wedding was in 1985 when she was just 24, to Christopher Mather, a Royal Navy officer, but the couple went their separate ways after 12 months together.
She recently shut down the possibility of getting married for the third time. Carol shared a hilarious post on Instagram Stories, which read: "There is literally no rule that says you have to get married and start a family. Normalize splitting a mansion with your 5 best friends and 10 dogs." She simply added: "Yup," with a thumbs up emoji.
