Who is Jane McDonald married to and does she have kids?
In her autobiography, Jane wrote: “Your manager is your boss and tells you what to do, what to wear and who to be, so our relationship changed.”
She continued: ” loved him with all my heart, but felt he’d stopped looking at me as a wife. I became a product.”
Jane, also famous shows like Cruising With Jane McDondald, also wrote about why she didn’t have childre.
She says: “Henrik and I once spoke about having children but there wasn’t room for babies in his plans for me.
“I began to feel lonely in my marriage.”
She went on to say that she eventually “lost her confidence and became introverted” which is when she fired Henrik as her manager.
