Ricky Gervais and Jane Fallon: A Love Story of Over 40 Years

Ricky Gervais and Jane Fallon: A Love Story of Over 40 Years

Ricky Gervais and his girlfriend, Jane Fallon, have been together since they met in college in 1982. Despite Gervais' rise to fame as a comedian and actor, Fallon has had her own success as a bestselling author. They have been in a committed relationship for over 40 years and have chosen not to get married or have children.

Fallon was born in Harrow, North London, and later moved to Buckinghamshire with her family. She attended St. Bernard’s Convent School in Slough and studied history at University College London, where she met Gervais. After a few years of dating, they moved in together and shared a small apartment above a seedy sauna.

Fallon worked in TV production before pursuing her dream of writing novels. Her books have been successful, with some being nominated for awards. Her most recent novel, "Welcome To The Neighbourhood," was released in January 2026. Fallon and Gervais share a love for animals and have had pets together, including their cat Pickle.

Despite their long-term relationship, Gervais and Fallon have chosen not to marry, as they both feel indifferent about it. They have attended various awards ceremonies together, with Fallon supporting Gervais at events like the Golden Globes and the National Television Awards. Fallon has been by Gervais' side throughout his career milestones, including when he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in May 2025.
