Hugh Dennis’s Past Relationships: Marriage And Children

Hugh Dennis has had a couple of relationships in the past. He has been married twice and divorced the same number of times.

However, they stayed loyal to each other. Hugh and Miranda met each other often. And their relationship continued, all the while when Miranda was realizing that something was missing between them.

Hugh popped the question to Miranda during a restaurant on Fulham Road. However, he didn’t have a ring when he proposed. Miranda accepted, and they were both in their mid-20s when they got married.

And came the marriage, which was held at a church in Ipswich in 1987. Hugh’s father officiated the wedding.

Although Miranda then thought that their wedding day was the happiest day of her life, she always knew that something was missing from her marriage. Hugh wasn’t an exciting enough guy for Miranda. She described her marriage to Hugh as ‘unadventurous.’

Another reason that the marriage wasn’t working for both of them was their wish for children. Hugh wanted to have kids, whereas Miranda didn’t, and didn’t want anyone to be dependent on her.

They started having problems around 1991 and even went to marriage counseling. However, after only one session, they knew the relationship wasn’t meant to last. So, the ex-couple divorced in 1993, and since then, both of them have gone their separate ways.

Soon after his divorce with Miranda, he got together with another woman. She was Catherine Louise (Kate) Abbot-Anderson. He has even admitted in an interview somewhere that if it wasn’t for his on-going divorce with Miranda, he would have married Kate a lot sooner.

After the divorce, the couple got married on 15th June 1996.

Hugh’s wish that he couldn’t fulfill during his first marriage got fulfilled with Kate. The ex-couple went on to have two children - son Freddie, born in 1997, and daughter Meg, born in 1999.

But, Hugh, second marriage couldn’t last a lifetime, either. The couple divorced in 2015, after 19 years of being in a married relationship.
