So, here’s everything you need to know about Carr’s partner, including her career and the couple’s children.
Who is Jimmy Carr’s girlfriend?
Jimmy Carr has been involved with his long-time girlfriend, Karoline Copping, since 2001.
The duo first locked eyes with one another at an audition, as revealed by Carr in a 2008 interview with The Guardian. The five-time Lafta Award winner stated that while he was immediately smitten by Copping, the latter did not share his enthusiasm at the time.
Instead, “she went away and wrote a note saying, ‘He’s got one joke, he’s very misogynistic and he’s rubbish.'” However, Carr eventually managed to ask Copping out for a date at a later gig, paving the way for their endearing relationship.
What does Karoline Copping do for a living?
Similar to Jimmy Carr, his girlfriend also works in the entertainment industry.

She also had a stint with Channel 4, but ultimately quit the job in 2013 (via Broadcast). Moreover, Copping has collaborated with her partner on several projects over the course of her career. This includes Jimmy Carr Live and Jimmy Carr: In Concert.
