Comedian Jim Davidson, 72, has reportedly called off his sixth wedding to his fiancée, Natasha, who is 23 years his junior. Sources indicate the decision followed a series of arguments, some described as 'boozy rows,' and Davidson's concern about the financial implications of another potential divorce, having previously spent an estimated £60 million on divorces.
The couple had reportedly experienced several breakups and makeups prior to the wedding being called off. In one instance last year, guests at the Coral Reef Hotel in Barbados witnessed a significant argument that led to Natasha storming out, and Davidson later alluded to the incident on social media as 'personal s**t.' According to insiders, Natasha struggled with Davidson's strong personality, and disagreements often escalated into major drama.
Davidson has been quoted as saying that Natasha had issues with his drinking. He has also made public comments on social media, remarking on women of menopausal age acting 'a bit crazy.' Despite these issues, friends close to Davidson have stated that he is heartbroken by the split, describing him as 'smitten' and 'totally in love' with Natasha. He had even renamed his yacht, Lady Natasha, in her honor and taken her on trips around the world.
The comedian, who recently finalized his fifth divorce from Michelle Cotton after 14 years of marriage, had become engaged to Natasha in early 2024. He had expressed optimism about their relationship, attending Nigel Farage's 60th birthday party with Natasha and telling friends he believed he had found 'the one.' Davidson had previously joked about his many marriages, even referencing his past as a nod to King Henry VIII when considering a venue for his wedding at Hampton Court Palace.
Davidson has been married five times previously. His first marriage was to Sue Walpole in 1971, followed by marriages to Julie Gullick, Alison Holloway, Tracy Hilton, and most recently, Michelle Cotton. His marriages have resulted in five children. He recently sold the Georgian cottage he shared with Cotton and stated he was ready for a 'new chapter,' though he maintained they were on good terms.
