Carol Kirkwood addresses ‘big age gap’ with younger husband Steve Randall
Carol Kirkwood has opened up about the 13-year age gap between her and her husband, Steve Randall, admitting that it does not worry her.
The former weather reporter, 64, married retired police officer Steve Randall, 51, in December 2023 in a private ceremony in Buckinghamshire.
The couple have been making the most of their time together since Carol quit her role at the BBC to spend more time with her husband.

She told The Sun’s Fabulous magazine: ‘The age difference between Steve and I is 13 years, but it’s not something I think about. People will ask: “Oh, there is a big age gap, what are you going to do when you are 85 and Steve’s 72?”
‘We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. Anything could happen in the next 15 to 20 years. I’m not worried about that in the slightest.’
Discussing the value of the quality time she has with her husband, she went on: ‘Steve and I want to enjoy the little pleasures that each day can bring – be it going for a walk, gardening or enjoying a nice meal he has cooked. The big things matter, but the small things are important, too.’
She added that the pair are ‘both fit’ at this stage and hopes it will remain that way.
Steve also supported Carol when she bid farewell to the BBC in April after 30 years, presenting her with a huge bouquet of flowers.
