David has said they first met at a film premiere in 2007 and dated briefly, but only got into a serious relationship three years after that.
Victoria revealed that comedian David Baddiel introduced them to each other.
She said: “He specifically said to me, ‘There’s David Mitchell over there, I think you should probably marry him, I’ll get the ball rolling by introducing you.”
On November 1, 2023, she revealed she had given birth to her second child with the comedian.
The star announced the news on social media, addressing how her clothes no longer fit her after giving birth the prior week.
Taking to X, formally Twitter, Victoria posted: “Many people are assuming my tweet yesterday was a Halloween costume. Not at all; last week I had a baby and nothing currently fits me except cloaks. Luckily, Only Connect is a pre-record. Happy All Saints Day.”
The entertainment couple called their daughter, June Violet.
