'AGEING IS A POSITIVE THING'

With her dream job and an idyllic family life, DJ Sara Cox is loving life in her 50s - but it doesn't mean putting her feet up

- 

Sara Cox's life sounds like a whirlwind. One moment she might be hosting her teatime show on BBC Radio 2; the next she could be settling into the second draft of her fourth novel, tacking up her horse, Nelly, to head out for a gallop across the Chiltern Hills, or gathering her three dogs for a walk. “They are a bit of a responsibility,” she says.

And that’s on top of being a mother to three children: Lola Anne, 21, Isaac, 17, and Renee, 15.

The person she credits with helping keep this busy life uncomplicated? Her husband of 12 years, Ben Cyzer. The couple married in 2013 and Sara speaks highly of the advertising executive, whom she first met nearly 20 years ago.

“I'm married to a very brilliant man who's an excellent dad, and he also works from home in an office at the bottom of the garden,” she tells HELLO! in this exclusive interview. “We're a good team, and we get on really well. He makes me laugh - he's nearly as funny as me.”
