TV presenter Steve Jones opens up about his challenging fertility journey and praises his wife for her strength during tough times
London: Steve Jones has been pretty open about the tough times he and his wife, Phylicia, have faced while trying to start a family. He recently shared their story on a podcast with Richard and Izzy Hammond, and it’s been quite a journey.
They’ve been married since 2014, and it hasn’t been easy. Phylicia has gone through a lot with her fertility struggles and endometriosis treatment. Steve mentioned that after years of surgeries, they got the heartbreaking news that having kids might not be in the cards for them.
He described the last few years as “brutal,” saying it’s been one of the hardest things he’s ever dealt with. Watching Phylicia go through all of this has been really tough for him. He’s had his share of challenges, but this one hit hard.
Despite the tough news, Steve couldn’t help but admire Phylicia’s strength. He said he never thought he could love her more, but seeing her handle everything with such grace has been incredible. He feels lucky to have her in his life, with or without kids.
Steve also took a moment to reflect on his career. He talked about how hard it was to find work after his time on the X-Factor USA. He recalled a funny audition story where he thought he bombed it, but ended up landing the job just hours later.
He’s got this fearless attitude when it comes to new opportunities, which he credits to a tragic accident he witnessed as a teenager. That experience changed his perspective on life, making him more willing to take risks.
When it comes to his time on the American X-Factor, he’s not allowed to share too much, but he admitted it wasn’t a great experience for him. After returning to the UK, he had to work hard to get back into the presenting game, which was a bit of a struggle.
Overall, Steve’s journey has been a mix of highs and lows, but he’s grateful for the support of his amazing wife and the lessons he’s learned along the way.
