Anna Botting On Tying Knot
Back in 2012, when a fan sent an engagement ring for Anna Botting, age 50, and her partner along with a bill for £550 to show how much he had paid for it, Anna revealed that she had no immediate intention of getting married.

Even after five years of the incident, Anna still doesn’t show any interest in walking down the aisle but seems pretty content with her companion and their two children.
Anna has been in a long-term relationship with Nicholas Purdue, a headhunter with recruitment firm CPB Partners. According to UK Daily Mail, the couple met about 11 years ago in the French Alps where Nick was working as Ski guide. The pair has been together since.
Meanwhile, Anna became pregnant with her first child in 2012. It was the same year that Anna was named as the Royal Television Society’s Presenter of the Year. In late 2012, Anna gave birth to her first child; a daughter, whom they named Gracie.
After her return to Sky News from maternity leave in 2013, Anna was asked about her child in a tweet, to which Anna replied,
"
@kriskuz62 had a little girl called Gracie, 8lbs 12oz on arrival, a real smiler, with a wonderful sense of humour! Now 8 months old, a joy."

Anna shortly became pregnant with their second child. Three years after the birth of her first daughter, Anna and Nick welcomed their first son. Anna was 47 years old at the time while Nick was 48. The name of the child has not been disclosed.

As of 2015, Anna lived with her partner and children in Surrey, England. However, even after 11 years and two children later, the couple seems in no hurry to address each other as a husband and wife. Maybe for the couple, an official ceremony does not hold any importance as long as they are happy as a family.
Anna, who is generally identified as a cat lady, had to bid farewell to her cat, Lucy. On 8 August 2018, for the occasion of International Cat Day, Anna shared a heartfelt tweet dedicated towards her deceased cat, which had died after remaining a loyal friend to Anna for nearly 19 years.
Further, she also expressed her undying love towards her pet and mentioned that Lucy would always be in her memory.
