Let’s talk about love, shall we? For John Cleese, it seems like the fourth time really was the charm. Back in 2012, the legendary actor tied the knot with his current wife, Jennifer Wade, and by all accounts, this one feels like the real deal. In a recent interview on the British show Lorraine, Cleese opened up about his journey through love, life, and finding happiness at last.
Now, if you know anything about John Cleese, you know he’s not just a comedy legend—he’s also had a pretty eventful personal life. Before settling down with Jennifer, Cleese went through three marriages. But this time around? He says he’s finally hit the jackpot. “I really recommend it. If you can find a wife you really like…” he quipped during the interview. And who could blame him? Jennifer Wade, a vibrant and lovely woman, has clearly brought joy back into Cleese’s life.
A New Lease on Life
Even though Cleese and Jennifer are more than three decades apart in age, their love has clearly stood the test of time. In fact, being with Jennifer seems to have rejuvenated Cleese in ways that go beyond just romance. Despite turning 80 soon, the Monty Python star says he feels younger than ever. “80! I can’t believe that. No, I don’t feel grown up—not at all. I feel about 43. I wish I was 43. I know so much more about how the world works now,” he revealed. And when it comes to what truly matters in life, Cleese has learned a thing or two. “I realize the key thing is to realize that very little matters. Just a small number of people—the happiness of the people around you.”

Celebrating Eight Decades
As Cleese approaches his 80th birthday, he’s ready to throw a party—and make no mistake, it’ll be one for the ages. “Oh yes, oh yes. Going to make sure none of the Pythons are there—don’t want any of the grubby knights hanging around,” he joked, adding a touch of humor only he could bring to the table. It’s clear that Cleese isn’t just marking another year; he’s celebrating a lifetime filled with laughter, love, and unforgettable moments.
Love Through the Years
Before Jennifer came into his life, Cleese’s romantic history reads like a chapter in a book. His first marriage was to writer and actress Connie Booth in 1968. Together, they welcomed a daughter, Cynthia, in 1971. Then, in 1981, Cleese married actress Barbara Tretham, with whom he had another child, daughter Camilla, born in 1984. But the love story didn’t end there. In 1992, Cleese walked down the aisle again, this time with Alyce Faye Eichelberger. Though they eventually parted ways after 16 years, it’s evident that each relationship shaped Cleese into the man he is today.
