Frances Cain’s Married Life as Jeremy Clarkson’s Wife.

Frances Cain met her husband, Jeremy Clarkson, back when his career was just about to take shape. The hot-rod enthusiast was previously married to his first wife, Alexandra James. However, she left him for his best friend, barely a year into their marriage.

Cain worked for Clarkson as his manager, and it was during this time that they interacted. With time, love blossomed and led up to his second marriage in Fulham, the year 1993. The honeymoon phase was quite long as all was well in Clarksville.

Their marriage gave forth three children, namely Emily, Katya, and Finlo Clarkson. By the time trouble came knocking on their matrimonial doors, the couple had already spent 27 years and ten months as husband and wife. That said, here’s everything that went wrong leading up to their divorce.

After Clarkson’s first failed marriage and the hurt that followed, he was never the same. There were several cheating allegations that cropped up during his marriage to Frances Cain. For starters, controversial news broke out that he was still seeing his ex-wife, Alexandra James.
