Is Anneka Rice married?
Anneka was previously married to theatre producer Nick Allott from 1988 until their break-up in 1992, and the couple share two children; Thomas, 30, and Joshua, 29. However, following their split, the pair didn't officially divorce, and were still married in 2014.
Speaking to the Daily Mail at the time, Anneka said: "Everyone thinks we’re divorced, but we’re not. It’s no big deal interviewing him because we’re friends." Chatting to the Telegraph, she added: "We will get around to divorcing. Most people get divorced because they are always arguing about money. When Nick and I split up, I was the breadwinner; I was paying the school fees. He had a good job so money was never discussed, therefore what is there to argue about?"

Nick also previously revealed that he didn't mind that the pair hadn't officially divorced, explaining: "I don’t think it’s anyone else’s business why we’ve taken the decision to stay married after all this time. Maybe people think it’s weird. We have our reasons. It suits us. We are civilized people."
