Jack Tweed, the widower of Jade Goody, admitted he is uncertain whether he can ever get married again after his former wife’s tragic cancer death. He admitted that while he hopes to have children with his partner Ellis Sargeant, he is unaware of his chances of getting married again.
Jack Tweed has opened up about the lasting impact of losing his wife Jade Goody, admitting that even 16 years on from her death, he is still unsure whether he will ever be ready to marry again.
The 38-year-old TV personality, who married Jade just a month before she tragically died from cervical cancer in 2009, has since built a new life with girlfriend Ellis Sargeant, 31.
Over the past three years, the couple, who started dating in 2022, have spoken about starting a family. However, Jack still torn about getting married.

He told the Daily Mail : “I would like to have kids, but I just don’t know about marriage. Sometimes I do feel I want to but then other times I feel like I’m a bit guilty. I know it’s been a long time [since Jade’s death] but…”
Jack claims that Jack never truly loses his steadfast loyalty to Jade. Just weeks before Jade lost her cancer battle, she was 27 years old, their emotional wedding took place in February 2009, just before the pair tied the knot.
Jack was only 21 when he was suddenly exposed as the widower of one of Britain’s most well-known reality TV stars. Since then, he has begun to consider how to plan for the future together with Ellis. When Ellis miscarried last year, the pair experienced heartache, which Jack says has been challenging to accept.
He explained that he and she lost the baby without speaking about having more children since then. It’s awkward to talk about children right now, especially with her, and it wasn’t nice.
Despite the agonizing loss of a child, Jack describes a strong bond between him and Ellis. We are excellent, really. He continued, “We just get on.” “I believe there has only been one mini-argument in the last three years… ” He laughed, “I believe it’s because I’m so laid-back.”
Jack has also maintained a connection with Jade’s sons, Bobby and Freddy, from her previous relationship with Jeff Brazier. While his bond with the boys was strained in the immediate aftermath of Jade’s death, they are now on good terms.
Freddy, 20, is preparing to become a father himself, and Jack believes Jade would have been thrilled to hear the news. “When the news came out, I was thinking – Jade would be a grandma – would I be a step-granddad? I’d rather not have that title [so young],” he joked.
Freddy added that Freddy’s new role might encourage his maturation, saying, “It makes you grow up. When I met Jade, I was younger than Freddy is now.
Jack admits to having trouble after Jade passed away, turning to alcohol and even serving time in prison. However, he has recently resisted being in the spotlight and successfully established himself as an electrician.
He said, “I don’t really go out and have a drink that much anymore.” Because hangovers last for about five days, I very rarely drink.
