Not much is known about Jay's fiancee Lisa, but from her business Instagram account, it appears she works as a fitness trainer and runs an exercise programme called The WKOUT.
Jay has normally been quite private about his romantic life, but it is thought his previous relationship was with a woman named Christine. The television star was also previously married to his ex-wife Jade, with whom he shares one daughter, Zola.

In 2020, Jay opened up to Radio Times about his marriage breaking down, which led him to a "dark place" mentally. "I left the family home, gave the house to my ex-wife and just drove. I didn't know where I was going. I slept in my old estate car for three or four days. I was in a really dark place."
He also bravely admitted: "If it had continued for 24 hours more, I don't think I would be talking to you now."
