Does Caroline Quentin have children?
In addition to being a godmother, Caroline also has two children of her own.
She shares daughter Emily, 26, and son William, 22, with her husband Will Farmer.
Both the children have now moved out of home and Caroline recently admitted she has ’empty nest syndrome’.
She has also previously said she regrets putting her career before them both.
Caroline told Good Housekeeping: “God, I missed them. I mourned them terribly when I was away. I think that’s probably why I feel so bad about it, because it left a hole in me.
“People said, ‘Oh, they’re young for such a short period of time,’ and I didn’t listen. I thought I knew better, and I didn’t.”
Caroline said she wished she’d turned more jobs down, but added: “You can’t turn back the clock, you have to live with these things.”
