Jeremy Clarkson may be best known for his car exploits on “Top Gear,” but in recent years he has gained a new audience with “Clarkson’s Farm,” a docu-series that gave viewers a closer look into his personal life.
In the final episode of the show’s final season, Clarkson revealed to farmer Caleb Cooper and land agent Charlie Ireland that he had prostate cancer. “It went missing a week ago, I had a biopsy and it was cancer, it’s aggressive, but it’s too early,” he said.Standing by his side throughout his health journey is his longtime partner, Lisa Hogan, who also appears regularly on the show. Fans have come to love the easy rapport between Clarkson and the former Irish model, along with her no-nonsense attitude towards the often divisive TV personality.
Who is Lisa Hogan?
According to Grazia, Lisa Hogan is a former Irish model and sculptor who appears alongside Clarkson in “Clarkson’s Farm.” Born in Dublin, she has lived in Australia, Majorca, London and Switzerland over the years, although she now lives a more rural life in the Cotswolds. Lisa is 52 years old.
How Jeremy Clarkson and Lisa Hogan met
The couple first met at a mutual friend’s party in 2017 and dated for several months before officially becoming a couple. “It was a very long relationship because I didn’t know where he was in his life.
“I wasn’t ready to start dating again. He had to court me for three months,” Lisa told The Times.
Age gap between Lisa Hogan and Jeremy Clarkson
Clarkson is 14 years older than Hogan. While Lisa admitted that Jeremy “definitely wears the pants” in the relationship, she stresses that things are still fairly equal between them. “I enjoy being a strong woman,” she said. “He’ll say he wants to get something done and I’ll try to talk to him in a more reasonable way. And then I’ll agree to do exactly what he wants…and then I’ll go ahead and do exactly what I want!”
Lisa Hogan’s Previous Marriage & Children
Lisa was previously married to Dutch aristocrat Baron Stephen Bentinck, an art collector based in Madrid. The couple were married for 30 years before divorcing in 2011. She has three children, Wolf, Alice and Lizzie, with her ex-husband. Clarkson also has three children, Emily, Katya and Venlo, from his second marriage to his former manager Frances Cain, making the Clarksons a mixed family.Lisa previously said she was content with her and Jeremy not having children together.
Speaking to Fabulous magazine, she said: “We’re at a point where we’re not going to have kids. I think because of our age, it’s a lot easier. You’re like, ‘Oh my God, am I going to end up with you?’ Well, that’s it.” But it’s comforting to know that you won’t be with anyone else. It gives you a certain amount of freedom.”
Lisa Hogan and Jeremy Clarkson have split
Despite often being the subject of tabloid speculation, the couple has not separated. They also don’t seem to have any plans to get married in the near future. In an episode of the final season of “Clarkson’s Farm,” Jeremy joked, “If I knew someone I could marry who was Irish,” while discussing ways to get around farm vehicle taxes. However, Lisa seems quite satisfied with the relationship as it is. “Mrs. Clarkson? No, thank you, I love Lisa Hogan,” she said.Marriage or not, the pair’s bond seems as strong as ever, and with Jeremy now dealing with his cancer diagnosis, it looks like Lisa’s constant presence by his side will remain a constant.
