Jane’s incredible life
Jane was born on June 11, 1970, and was raised in North London.
Her father, Stuart, was Jewish and her mother, Amanda, was a devout buddhist.
She studied at King Alfred School before moving to the USA at the age of 15 to follow Boy George on tour.
When she returned to the UK, she took a job as an entertainment reporter with the Daily Star and met Jonathan Ross.
They married in 1988, when Jane was just 18-years-old.
She launched a career as a screenwriter and often writes with fellow award-winning script writer Matthew Vaughan.
Jane co-wrote Kingsman: The Secret Service, X-Men: First Class, Kick-Ass, Stardust with Matthew and is also credited on Netflix’s Rebecca and Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children.
Building a life with Jonathan
Jane and Jonathan have been open about their marital troubles and separated after 10 years of marriage, due to Jane’s mental health.
They later reconciled and Jonathan has said that their relationship has gone from strength to strength.
On Loose Women, Jonathan said that he initially acted like a parental figure when they first began dating.

He said: “I think we are much more of an equal partnership than we have ever been before in our lives.
“When we first got together, she was very young.
“I wasn’t that old but I was considerably older and she came straight from home with her parents.
“And I think the relationship carried on, I was sort of a parent figure as well as a husband.
“Now that we’re both getting older, she has an incredible career of her own and I think she got a bit tired a few years ago of me making decisions without telling her which I would do.”
The pair have three children, with one of them following her parents into show business.
Honey Kinney, Jane and Jonathan’s youngest daughter, is a plus-size model, podcast host and body positivity campaigner.
The pair have two other children named Harvey Kirby and Betty Kitten.

Jonathan has joined The Traitors
Jonathan will be appearing on the BBC’s hit reality series The Traitors in its special celebrity edition, which will air in the autumn.
He will be joined by fellow broadcasters Kate Garraway, Clare Balding and Stephen Fry, as well as Olympian Tom Daley, Bridget Jones actress Celia Imrie and singer Paloma Faith.
Comedians Alan Carr, Lucy Beaumont, Nick Mohammed, Niko Omilana and Joe Wilkinson have signed onto the show too, alongside Mark Bonnar, Charlotte Church, Cat Burns and Tameka Empson.
Historian David Olusoga and rugby player Joe Marler are the final pair making up the cast of the star-studded show.
Claudia Winkleman revealed that, although she would like to take part in the show herself, she feels she would be a terrible player.
She said: “I would love to play that game.
“I would not be very good at it but I would love to play.”
Her friend Mika insisted that she would be a great player, though she disagreed.
