Sara Cox has candidly admitted that her first marriage was a 'disaster'. The BBC Radio 2 presenter married DJ Jon Carter in a low-key ceremony at Finsbury register office in North London in 2001, followed by a formal ceremony in Ireland five months later. The couple separated in 2005.
Two years later, Cox found love with marketing executive Ben Cyzer, and they married in 2013. Speaking to The Times, she described her second wedding dress as a '1950s-style, knee-length and had a lace top', chosen to feel more comfortable than the one she wore at her first wedding. She said: 'I'd been married before and that had been a disaster and I was trussed up in a dress that wasn't really me, so this time I wanted one that would suit me as well as my new husband did.'
Cox and Cyzer have two children, Isaac and Renee, and she also has a daughter, Lola, from her first marriage. At 50, Cox is currently undertaking a 135-mile run from Kielder Forest to Pudsey in Leeds for Children in Need, raising over £6 million. Prince William sent a message of support, saying: 'Sara, massive congratulations for what you're doing. You're so nearly there... Keep going, you've done fantastically well, and the nation's so proud of you.'
