Yes! Jo and Bernard have two daughters. Their names are never flaunted publicly, because Brand-Graham is fiercely protective of their privacy. Good for her, right?
Jo has joked that her kids are her biggest critics. She’s said they tell her she’s “not funny” when she cracks a joke at the dinner table. Classic teenagers. Even comedy legends get roasted by their offspring.
But really, she sounds like a pretty normal mum. She’s talked about school runs and family holidays. It makes you think: maybe fame isn’t all that—if you’ve got a good partner and a cup of tea.
The Secret to Their Marriage (According to Jo)
Jo once said in an interview that the secret to a long marriage is “giving each other space.” She also mentioned that Bernard doesn’t mind her being away for work. He’s not the jealous type. No drama, no posh parties—just steady, reliable love.

And she’s also admitted they have a very domestic life. When she’s not on stage, she’s at home watching TV, gardening, or doing the washing up. Yes, the Queen of Sarcasm does dishes. Who knew?
She’s joked that Bernard is “a saint” for putting up with her. But let’s be real: she’s the funny one, and he’s the calm one. They balance each other out like a perfect cup of tea—strong, slightly bitter, and absolutely comforting.
