Television presenter Graham Norton has been married to husband Jonathan McLeod since 2022
Graham Norton is a regular face on our screens, with ITV show The Neighbourhood and Eurovision representing just two of his ventures this year.
However, his personal life remains precisely that, with the broadcaster known for maintaining privacy regarding his romantic life throughout the years, reports the Mirror.
While he’s experienced his share of romantic ups and downs – previously joking that he’d be “single forever” – Graham did discover true love and has been wed to Jonathan ‘Jono’ McLeod since 2022, with the couple poised to mark their fourth anniversary this summer.
So what does their life together look like? And what has Graham revealed about their marriage?

Meeting partner transformed star’s view on marriage
During a 2022 appearance on Ireland’s The Late Late Show, talk show host Graham chatted about how marriage hadn’t been on the cards and hinted that meeting Scottish filmmaker Jonathan was what altered his outlook.
“As you get older, having had a string of failed relationships, you appreciate when something is right, you treasure it, you don’t take it for granted and so put a ring on it,” he was quoted as saying on the programme.
Talk show host wed in Ireland
Graham and Jonathan married in Cork in 2022, reportedly a few years after they met for the first time.
The pair exchanged their vows in a ceremony at Bantry House, a historic estate that was built in the early 18th century. They are then thought to have returned to Graham’s harbour residence in Ahakista to carry on the celebration.
Reports at the time suggested approximately 120 guests attended, with singer Lulu believed to have entertained those at the event. Panti Bliss was understood to have provided the DJ duties, while Irish dancing troupe Cairde are thought to have performed as well.
Rare glimpse into married life
In 2023, Graham – who was in his late 50s when he tied the knot with Jonathan – offered fans a rare glimpse into his marriage while speaking with The Guardian.
Recalling a moment from their wedding day, he said: “I had a joke in my speech: the vows are much more manageable. ‘Till death do us part’ seems more achievable at our age.”
He added: “If you get married at 23, that’s a big ask. We only have to put up with each other for a couple of decades. And then I’ll be out of here.”
In 2024, he told Attitude he was “enjoying” married life. “I was older, so I went into it with my eyes wide open,” he said. “You know the pitfalls of relationships, the dangers. But I met someone who I was willing to take a bet on.”
The Neighbourhood starts at 9pm on ITV on Friday April 24.
