other · 2026-10-11

Honey Ross, aged 28 and the daughter of TV host Jonathan Ross and Jane Goldman, is currently studying Welsh through Duolingo, as revealed by her boyfriend, Gav Murphy, 41, on the BBC Radio Cymru program 'Beti a'i Phobol'. To enhance her confidence, Honey practices with their dog, Coco. The pair, who met on Instagram and bonded over their love for films, often engage in lengthy conversations. Residing in London, they find limited opportunities to practice Welsh. Murphy, who graduated from Aberystwyth University in 2007 with a degree in Film and Television Studies, co-founded the YouTube channel RKG in 2019. Honey is a writer, podcaster, and feminist activist, having co-founded the Pink Protest in 2017. They recently enjoyed a trip to Universal Studios Florida, where Murphy appreciated Jonathan Ross's anecdotes.
