Two years later, in 2015, they tied the knot themselves in a private ceremony at Islington Town Hall and have been the picture of romance ever since. According to some reports, Laurence, who is ten years older than Suranne, popped the question just six weeks after meeting. How sweet!

Does Suranne Jones have children?

Suranne and Laurence welcomed the first child together - a son - in March 2016. As Suranne doesn't use social media regularly, no one knew the Gentleman Jack actress was expecting until she stepped on the National Television Awards red carpet with her gorgeous baby bump on full display!

As the couple prefer to keep their lives as private as possible, their now eight-year-old son's name remains unknown. However, she made a rare comment on motherhood when she appeared on the This Morning sofa in 2017. "I love being a mum. It is the best," she gushed.

During lockdown, Suranne and Laurence expanded their family again when they adopted two adorable dachshund puppies! The family currently live in Muswell Hill, London.
