“Nine Years Down… A Lifetime to Laugh About”: Jeremy Clarkson Marks Anniversary with Lisa Hogan in the Most Clarkson Way Possible
Jeremy Clarkson has marked a major milestone in his relationship — and in true Clarkson fashion, it came wrapped in affection, sarcasm, and a punchline sharp enough to make fans fall in love with the couple all over again.
The 65-year-old broadcaster celebrated nine years with partner Lisa Hogan this week, sharing a simple but heartfelt selfie from their quiet anniversary dinner. His caption, understated and warm, read only:
“Nine years.”
But Lisa — never one to miss an opportunity for comedic timing — reposted the image with a cheeky correction:
“Feels like 900.”
And with that single line, their entire relationship was summed up perfectly: dry humour, gentle teasing, and the kind of easy comfort that only comes from two people genuinely enjoying the life they’ve built together.
⭐ A Night Out Filled with Warmth — and Classic Clarkson Charm
The anniversary dinner itself felt like a scene lifted straight from Clarkson’s Farm — intimate, unpretentious, and completely them.
Jeremy wore his signature uniform: blazer, white shirt (buttoned only as far as he felt “appropriate”), and a slightly rumpled charm that fans have come to adore.
Lisa sparkled — literally — in elegant statement earrings, glowing beside him with the confident ease of a woman who knows exactly who she is and exactly who she loves.
Friends and fans rushed in with congratulations:
-
Carole Bamford: “Congratulations!”
-
Richard E. Grant: responded with a row of glowing hearts
-
One fan joked: “900 years with Clarkson? You deserve a medal, Lisa.”
Their humour, it seems, is contagious.
⭐ From a Christmas Party… to an Unlikely Love Story
The pair first met back in 2017 at a Christmas gathering, introduced by mutual friends. But if you’re imagining instant sparks, Lisa has already set the record straight.
“It wasn’t love at first sight,” she once said bluntly.
Clarkson, notoriously stubborn and equally persistent, knew he had work to do — and proceeded to court her the old-fashioned way.
For three months, he tried.
And somehow, through jokes, dinners, and a slow dismantling of his “bad boy reputation,” he won her over.
Lisa admitted what finally did it:
“He makes a real effort to make me laugh. That means everything.”
Today, laughter is the language of their relationship — and the backbone of their on-screen chemistry at Diddly Squat Farm.
⭐ The Proposal That Almost Happened… but Didn’t (Because Clarkson)
Fans have long wondered when Jeremy would propose — especially after Lisa hinted last year that she’d say yes.
Then came the walk.
The infamous walk.
Jeremy, with suspicious enthusiasm, told her he had a “big surprise.”
Lisa’s heart raced. Could this be it?
She jokingly asked if he was about to propose.
He didn’t miss a beat.
He pretended not to hear her.
Instead, he pointed dramatically at a fallen willow tree that had begun sprouting new life.
That was the “surprise.”
Clarkson later admitted:
“I’ll think about the proposal. I’m just… not ready yet.”
And somehow, Lisa still finds him endearing.
⭐ Two Lives, Six Children, One Unexpected Second Act
Both Clarkson and Hogan spent decades in previous marriages, raising families, building careers, and becoming their fully-formed adult selves long before crossing paths.
This — Lisa has said — is precisely what makes their bond strong.
Two people who know who they are.
Two people who don’t need fixing.
Two people choosing the other every single day.
The public sees the banter.
Their family sees the devotion.
⭐ Nine Years Later… Still Choosing Each Other
No flashy engagement.
No over-the-top declarations.
No made-for-TV theatrics.
Just a selfie.
A dinner.
A joke that landed perfectly.
And beneath it all, a love that looks incredibly steady — and incredibly real.
Clarkson wrote the caption.
Lisa delivered the punchline.
And together they proved that the best relationships don’t need fireworks.
Just laughter.
Respect.
And nine years that somehow feel like 900 — in the best possible way.
