Who is Jimmy Carr's girlfriend, Karoline Copping?

Canadian-born Karoline is a commissioning editor for Channel 5.

The couple met during an audition for a panel show early in his career.

Jimmy once admitted during a Desert Island Discs interview that he didn't make a great first impression on the woman who would go on to be his long-term girlfriend.

He confessed he saw her writing about how he was a "one-note comedian with the eyes of a sex offender" in her notes.

How long have Jimmy Carr and Karoline Copping been together?

Carr and Copping have been together since 2001.

Jimmy and Karoline live together in posh London area Primrose Hill - and their mansion is reportedly worth an estimated £8.5 million.

The couple have never tied the knot, despite being together for over 20 years.

Do they have children together?

Jimmy and Caroline have a son named Rockefeller, who was reportedly born in 2019.

Fans were surprised when Jimmy began including material about fatherhood in his stand-up routines in 2021.

During a gig at the O2 Academy in Brixton, Carr reportedly joked: "I had to tell my little boy he's adopted."

"I mean, he isn't, but the look on his face. I said, "No, no, no, you were adopted, the new family is picking you up tomorrow."

He added, "We're having a gender reveal party for our kid but we're going to wait until he's 21 just to be sure."

The couple had been pictured walking around with a pram numerous times since January 2020 but waited a long time to publicly confirm the big news.
