The pair met at an Australian comedy festival two years ago and got married back in 2020 just before lockdown started in the UK.

Who is Sara Pascoe's ex-boyfriend? 

In an interview with You, Sarah opened up about how she used the breakdown of her former relationship with John Robins for her new 2017 show LadsLadsLads, explaining: "There’s a burst of creativity – you get this incredible energy when you fall in love, just like you do with heartbreak. It can be such a creative time and was such a funny thing to write about."

The 8 Out of 10 Cats star also opened up about how her material could be somewhat problematic, adding: "I had routines about how my first boyfriend and I didn’t have enough sex. I look back on them now and think, 'He came to watch me perform at Live at the Apollo while I talked about how rubbish my sex life was with him.' He was so accommodating."

Sarah previously opened up about a post-breakup mistake where she accidentally travelled to Costa Rica instead of Spain. She said: "I was going to do a yoga retreat. I booked the holiday, and this is bad, but on a lunch break while crying... I'd just broken up with my boyfriend and the only time off work I had was between Christmas and New Year."

After booking the flights, she didn't realise that she was flying to Central America until she noticed the 14-hour flight tracker after getting on the plane, whoops!
