Ending her 25 years of marriage, Carol has proved she is the one who will get married just for the sake of it and now, moved on to a blissful relationship.
End To 25 Years of Marriage; Found Mr. Right
Life definitely gets easier if one has a companion to share and look up to. The weather reporter Carol had similar someone in her life as she was married to the cricketer Jimmy Kirkwood.

The duo got married in the year 1990 and stayed in their marriage for 25 years without any children. Even though Carol got out of 25 years of marriage, the reporter never gave up on the concept and idea of marriage and soulmate.
“I absolutely believe in marriage - if you’re married to the person who is your soulmate and the person who you want to spend the rest of your life with.”- Carol Kirkwood
Her genuine belief about the soulmate might be one of the reason, she found her Mr. Right.
Mysterious Mr. Right Revealed:
The BBC Breakfast star first broke the news about her boyfriend back in 2016 where she had not revealed the identity of her boyfriend. In an interview with Express.co.uk, she vaguely expressed about being in love after eight years of divorce.
“I’m very happy in my relationship status at the moment. I’m not single!”
The 55-year-old even shared her thoughts about marriage in the same interview:
“It’s not the be all and end all I wouldn’t get married just for the sake of being married, because I’m happy as I am.
Back in 2016 she kept the identity of her boyfriend secret and teased her fans with her posts.
But the identity of her secret boyfriend was out and open in 2017. The Napier University graduate, Carol's boyfriend turned out to be senior protection officers for the Royal. That was quite impressive of her to date a protective man after the end of such long marriage.
The Dancing with the star contestant did not reveal the personal details about her mystery man but based on their occupation it can be assumed that the two share a crazy work schedule.
Despite confronting her boyfriend, that did not stop her fans from commenting raunchily and calling her 'sexy.'

Carol, on the other hand, was surprised by the people's perception as she thinks that she is not sexy.
“Sex symbol makes me laugh, I couldn’t be further from a sex symbol if I tried.I think I’m more just your girl-next-door rather than anything else. If anyone says that, bless them.”
Even at mid-fifties, she looked absolutely stunning with her curvaceous body and is known for her enduring beauty and wonderful dressing sense.
