Jimmy Carr has been entertaining us for decades with shows like 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown and The Big Fat Quiz of the Year, and the comedian will soon be back on our screens with Last One Laughing.

Away from the stage, Jimmy is a loving family man, having been with his partner, Karoline Copping, since 2001.

Here’s what we know…

Who is Jimmy Carr’s partner Karoline Copping?

Karoline Copping is Jimmy Carr’s partner and mother of their son. He has two brothers.

He spent most of his early years in Farnham Common, Buckinghamshire. The couple first began dating in 2001 but have never married.

Karoline is Canadian and worked as a TV Commissioning Editor for Channel 5.

I was three, I think, and ... The comedian has revealed he is "not prepared" to get hitched.

Speaking to The Guardian, he said: "People ask why we're not married, but it's just not something that I'd like to talk about. He did however confuse fans during his special as he spoke about his ‘children’ at one point, leading fans to think he had privately had a second child.

I was always told it was very close to death."

"The doctor sort of went, 'It's going to be very painful.' And somehow I'd heard the phrase, and I went, 'You've got to be cruel to be kind,' in a little child's voice. We were very well taken care of, it was great. The star gained an incredible appreciation for life and good health after going through the ordeal.

During a chat on the podcast Where There's A Will, There's A Wake with Kathy Burke, Jimmy said: "You've got to be cruel to be kind ...

She has also worked for Channel 4 and has previously collaborated with her comedian partner on some of his projects. The couple met in 2001 at a TV interview during auditions and soon started dating.

Despite having been an item for over two decades, Jimmy and Karoline have not tied the knot. Karoline is a wonderful girl, and it upsets her, and I'm not prepared to do it."

Children

The couple secretly welcomed a baby son back in 2019, and Jimmy confirmed his little boy's unusual moniker.

The comedian kept his son Rockefeller’s birth private for two years, so keeping a second child’s birth a secret wouldn’t be that out of character. I went away from the meeting and called my manager and said, “I can’t work for that company because that girl is too attractive and I couldn’t concentrate on saying something funny.”

‘She went away and wrote a note saying, “He’s got one joke, he’s very misogynistic and he’s rubbish.” Then I saw her at a gig and I asked her out.’

Speaking about why they haven’t tied the knot he commented: ‘People ask why we’re not married but it’s just not something that I’d like to talk about.

Karoline is a wonderful girl and it upsets her and I’m not prepared to do it.’

At present he has not confirmed the birth of another child.

In 2021, Jimmy spoke about his son when he told comedians Rob Beckett and Josh Widdicombe, on the podcast Parenting Hell, that his partner had to have an emergency C-section. I took a tomato to the face from Sean Lock."

Sean Lock joked on 8 Out of 10 Cats: "We all like to put a bit of money away for a rainy day, but I think you're more prepared than Noah."
