Jack Whitehall is gearing up to host the BRIT Awards once more, marking his return to the stage on Saturday, March 1 at The O2 Arena in London.
Having previously commanded the ceremony from 2018 to 2021, Jack is set to charm audiences again as presenter.
Before this year's BRITS, the 36 year old actor expressed his excitement: "They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder, and that is absolutely the case with The BRIT Awards - it is my favourite night of the year, and I am delighted to be invited back to host in 2025."
Supporting Jack from the sidelines will undoubtedly be his significant other, Roxy Horner. Let's delve into the love story that spans five years....

Roxy, 33, hails from Essex and has made a name for herself in the fashion world. Represented by Premier Model Management, her career began at 17, gracing the pages of British Vogue and collaborating with high-profile brands like Victoria's Secret, Max Factor, and Pandora.
The couple's omance started in 2020 in Australia, where Roxy used to reside. On the Life's a Beach podcast, Jack opened up about their first date. Unfortunately, the chosen eatery featured taxidermy ducks as part of its decor, which didn't quite sit well with vegan Roxy, reports OK!.
Jack candidly shared that he was unaware of Roxy's dietary preferences at the time, leading to what he humorously referred to as "something out of a sitcom". Despite the initial blunder, Roxy quickly settled into Jack's Notting Hill abode amid the Coronavirus outbreak.
Reflecting on those formative days of cohabitation, Jack once shared with the Mirror: "Weirdly that was quite nice because we spent a lot of time together and it accelerates the relationship in a way. Then when lockdown ended, there was a lot of things we realised. We'd never gone to see a film together. We'd never been to a restaurant in England because we met in Australia."

With Roxy's family being in Australia, she's been vocal about the significant support Jack has offered since she's been living in the UK. The model experienced a distressing health event in 2021 and ended up hospitalised after collapsing at the BRIT awards ceremony, which Jack hosted.
Prior to being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, Roxy endured symptoms including exhaustion, thirst, nausea, and forgetfulness.
Speaking candidly to Marie Claire UK, the model disclosed: "I had been speaking to the doctors about how unwell I had been feeling. I remember a specific phone call I made to my doctor before I ended up in hospital. I was in bed for days crying just feeling awful and not knowing why, I just felt like I was going to die. I ended up taking myself to A&E in the end, which is where I was diagnosed."

The love story between the couple has grown even stronger, culminating in the birth of their first child, Elsie, in London, December 2024. Jack took to social media to announce the joyous event and sing his girlfriend's praises.
With excitement, he wrote: "Well, this just happened! " proclaiming, "Utterly overwhelming and joyous in ways I couldn't have even imagined. In awe of my partner @roxyhorner who has been amazing throughout this journey and is going to be the greatest mum ever."
He added: "So excited to have started a family of my own. Having vowed I've never be that guy I am now 100% going to be the parent that shows everyone endless pictures of their kid. I also wore sketchers to hospital, I think I must accept I am a full-blown dad now."
While they frequently give fans a peek into their new life with baby Elsie, they make sure to keep their little one away from the public eye.

In December, amidst growing speculation, Roxy confirmed that they were engaged. She shared an end-of-year reel on her Instagram, thrilling followers with glimpses of her engagement ring and the ensuing festivities.
Struggling to condense a year of memories into a single post, she expressed to her followers, "How could I fit in a whole year of highlights in one video? Here is a snippet of the last 2 magical months of 2024, feeling utterly blessed," garnering a wave of congratulatory messages for both herself and Jack.
