It is alleged that Frances Cain met Clarkson when she was working as her manager. Their marriage lasted for over two decades, and they divorced in 2011. They allegedly parted ways due to Jeremy's unfaithfulness.

It was around 2010 when his first wife, Alex, planned to write a book about their relationship. She wanted to disclose their secret love affair of almost ten years. However, Jeremy lifted a gigging order to prevent her from revealing their relationship. When speaking during her appearance on The Adrian Chiles show, Alex stated:

He got the injunction because he had something to hide. I can prove we had an affair. The truth will be out. We did have an affair.

Alex disclosed that they rekindled their love in 1999. In spite of all that, there were more speculations that Jeremy had an affair with Phillipa Sage, which is believed to have been the main reason the couple had a divorce.

Phillipa Sage was Jeremy's Top Gear colleague. After rumours of them dating spread on social media, the two initially denied being an item. In 2013, the two were spotted kissing, which showed beyond doubt they were romantically linked. They are believed to have parted ways in January 2017.

While on the Driven Chat Podcast, Phillipa expressed how the breakup affected her. She explained:

It took a long time for me to get over it because you can't escape, mainly because he's all over the place.

I' am so proud of Lisa. How she has gone from-how can I put this politely- a sedentary and rather luxurious life to find herself living on a farm where she didn't know anyone...
