Ricky and Jane started dating back in 1982. They were college sweethearts and even lived together in a one-room flat after their college graduation from University College London (UCL).

Life was hard living in that apartment. However, Ricky and Jane together endured it all. He, after failing to make it as a pop star, started to work a desk job in London.

And the same job was the basis for his success in the comedy writing scene, as it was the desk job experience that made him write The Office, which turned out to be the thing that kickstarted his career in the entertainment industry.

Views On Marriage

Ricky and Jane are still going strong, even after all that they’ve gone through - poverty, lack of success, and recognition. However, his views on marriage are unconventional.

Ricky has said in the past that he and Jane are married in everything but the ceremony. He went on to say the following in an interview,

We are married in everything but the ceremony. We share everything and everything is in both names. We've lived together for 29 years — how are we not married except in the eyes of God?

Ricky doesn’t subscribe to the commonly-accepted idea of marriage and having a wife. And similar is the case with having children, as the couple has mutually decided to opt-out of parenthood. In a 2008 The Nottingham Post interview, Jane clarified,

It's a difficult world and you shouldn't have kids unless you really want them.

And Ricky explains the decision further in an interview with the Telegraph, saying,

One good reason I don’t want [kids] is that I don’t think I’d sleep at night. Before this interview I had to check twice that I hadn’t left the doors to the pool open because I was worried the cat would go through them and drown. So with a child, I’d just be stood over it, making sure it was still breathing.

Ricky and Jane are sure one unconventional couple.
