In 2010 Jon and Lunga, who is a Zimbabwean academic tied the knot.
Jon is one of the most recognisable and iconic faces of British TV ever.
He is officially the longest-running presenter on Channel 4 News, which he has fronted since 1989.
Jon recently was forced to take a break from Channel 4 due to the pandemic.
The star admitted he is unsure when he will return after being forced to self-isolate for two weeks.
In a video posted online in March, he told fans: “Hi everyone, I’m still in self-isolation.
“I’m feeling good and I’m hoping to be back on Channel 4 news next week.
“The good news is I’ve been able to get back to trying to write my book, but failing, I’ve organised my tie collection and finessing my dance moves and all that stuff.”
