His third marriage to Karen Spencer lasted from 2011 until 2025. The former couple share daughter Lady Charlotte, who was born in 2012.
According to The Times, Charles and Karen finalised their divorce in December last year after separating in 2024.
However, reports in February claimed there were still believed to be financial matters left to resolve.
Inside Charles Spencer and Cat Jarman’s relationship
Charles and Cat confirmed their romance publicly in October 2024, just months after news of his split from Karen emerged.
The couple have also worked together professionally since 2023, co-hosting the historical podcast The Rabbit Hole Detective alongside Richard Coles.
Speaking to the MailOnline in November 2024, Charles shared rare insight into their relationship.
He said: “I am too old for hearts and flowers stuff. But the best way to describe it is that with Cat. I can be myself, she knows who I am. Who I really am. I don’t have to pretend to be something I am not. And she brings out the best in me.”
Cat was previously married to ex-husband Tom Jarman and is mum to two sons.
