KATE HUMBLE says the pandemic has strengthened her marriage of nearly 30 years...but is thankful she hasn’t had the extra commitment of parenthood.
The countryside-loving TV presenter decided years ago not to have children, happy as she was in a couple with Bafta award-winning husband Ludo Graham.
Despite being in lockdown, Kate, 52, who married in Newbury in 1992, said she “couldn’t be happier” living with her husband on their 117-acre working farm in Wales. They have three dogs, a herd of Welsh mountain ewes, a pig called Delilah complete with piglets and a flock of chickens.
She said: “For some people having kids is absolutely the be all and end all.
“I would always say only have children because you really, really want to, not because you think it’s the right thing to do or it’s the next stage in your life. It’s a massive commitment.
“Having a flipping dog and pigs is a commitment but I feel very lucky that I knew that I didn’t want to do it [have children]. I didn’t play with dolls when I was a kid. I just wasn’t interested in that.
“So I suppose that’s very lucky. Lots of people don’t have that certainty.”
