has been married to her husband James Haggar since 2007. The host recently spoke about past romances and lessons she’s learned in love.
While she didn’t share the secrets of a long-lasting marriage, the on-screen broadcaster said people should not fear when relationships come to an end.
The 50-year-old looked back at her past romances before meeting her husband.
Last year, she told The Big Issue’s Adrian Lobb for Letter To My Younger Self: “I was never fancied at school. I didn’t have a boyfriend until I was 17.
“But he was wonderful, my first boyfriend. I was with him for a couple of years. I think it’s so good to have boyfriends and girlfriends when you’re younger, because you learn to accept that things don’t necessarily last, and they don’t have to.”

She added: “You can enjoy the time you have. You’re changing, things change… But ending relationships will always cause pain, so do it with kindness.”
Naga and James have been married since 2007 after dating for several years. He is thought to be a television director and broadcast consultant, having worked for brands including CNBC International and Sky.
The journalist shared that their busy schedules meant they never had the desire to have children.
She explained that they had “never tried” to expand their family but were told, after being diagnosed with womb condition adenomyosis, that it “might get better” if she had children.
She told The Times: “We never tried and I never miscarried, we just never really wanted them. We kept putting the decision off, then life got better for us, we became more selfish . . . and just didn’t find the time.”
Naga previously revealed that someone called her “wicked” for “denying” her mother grandchildren. She mused to The Sun: “It’s quite interesting, isn’t it, how people react.”
