Who is Sara Cox married to? BBC Radio 2 star's partner and children explained as she faces Children In Need challenge

The BBC Radio 2 star is currently only a couple of hour away from crossing the finishing line in Pudsey after travelling 135 miles on foot over the past five days. This is the equivalent of running five marathons over the past five days.

Sara has been cheered on by the public, who have donated more than £6m to Children In Need and being inspired by the presenter’s incredible fundraising challenge. She has also received the support of some huge names, including Prince William. The royal told Sara in a special support message: “Sara, massive congratulations for what you are doing. You are so nearly there, just a little bit further.

“I know the people of Pudsey will all come out and welcome you with huge open arms, big hugs…and hopefully, lots of your favourite crumpets. Keep going. You’ve done fantastically well, and the nation is so proud of you.”

She has also been championed on by her Radio 2 colleagues, as well as her friends and family as she attempts to overcome the pain and exhaustion to cross the line in Pudsey. Her farmer dad Len is among her supporters, saying: “Here you are, Sara, should be here feeding these animals instead of messing about. Ah, I'm kidding. Very proud of you and what you've been doing.”

Who is Sara Cox married to?

Sara is married to marketing executive Ben Cyzer. Sara and Ben married in 2013 in a private ceremony, with the presenter tweeting a photograph confirming their nuptials.

The couple got together following the breakdown of her previous marriage to DJ Jon Carter in 2005. She had been married to Carter for four years before splitting. Sara has spoken out about her previous marriage, labelling her first wedding a “disaster”.

Speaking about her preparations for her second 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.

"We had the ceremony and lunch at the Langham [in London] with close family and friends, followed by a big rave-up a couple of days later. I wore the dress again and just kicked off my shoes and danced all night."

Does Sara Cox have children?

Sara shares one child with ex-husband Jon Carter, and welcomed two other children with current husband Ben Cyzer. Her first child, Lola Anne Carter, was born in June 2004.

She went on to welcome a baby boy named Isaac in March 2008 and another baby girl named Renee in March 2010.
