Has Sarah Millican split from her husband?
The short answer is yes, but let’s untangle the timeline. Sarah Millican was married to comedian Gary Delaney from 2002 until their separation in 2014, with the divorce finalized in 2016 (Swooon relationship timeline). She has not remarried, so there is no current husband. However, she has been in a relationship with fellow comedian Andrew Mensah since 2017 (Swooon).
Who is Sarah Millican’s first husband?
Before Gary Delaney, Millican was married to Andrew Millican from 1997 to 2004 (Swooon). She took his surname, which she kept professionally. Little public information exists about Andrew Millican, though she has referenced him in her stand-up (Swooon).
How many husbands does Sarah Millican have?
She has been married twice: first to Andrew Millican (1997–2004), then to Gary Delaney (2002–2016 — note the overlap, as she married Delaney before her divorce from Millican was finalized). Currently she is not married.
Does Sarah Millican have a new partner?
Yes. Since 2017, she has been in a relationship with comedian Andrew Mensah. The couple is based in Newcastle upon Tyne (Swooon).
Millican’s marital history shows three distinct phases: a first marriage that ended amicably, a high-profile marriage to a fellow comedian that ended in divorce, and a long-term partnership that she has kept relatively private. The online confusion stems from the fact that “Gary Delaney” is still widely searched as her husband, even though they split a decade ago.
The implication: if you’re asking “Has Sarah Millican split from her husband?”, the answer is that she split from her last husband in 2014 and has not remarried. Her current partner is Andrew Mensah, not a husband.
Where does Sarah Millican live now?
Born in South Shields, Tyne and Wear, Millican now resides in Newcastle upon Tyne, England (Swooon). She has lived in the North East for most of her life, and references to the region feature heavily in her comedy.
For fans wondering where she bases her touring schedule, Newcastle is home — so expect her to prioritise local venues when announcing 2026 dates.
The trade-off: staying rooted in the North East keeps her grounded, but it also means her touring logistics often start from Newcastle.
Where is Sarah Millican performing in 2026?
Millican has announced a 2026 tour across the UK, with dates expected to be released on her official website and Sarah Millican official YouTube and Swooon). Exact venues and on-sale dates are subject to change, but fans can follow her official channels for updates.
What are Sarah Millican’s 2026 tour dates?
As of early 2025, the 2026 tour is in the planning stages. Historically, her tours sell out quickly, so signing up for pre-sale alerts on Sarah Millican official site is recommended.
The catch: the 2026 tour may be her first major run since the Late Bloomer tour (2023–2024), which covered over 100 shows (BritishNewsDesk biography source). Demand is expected to be high.
Has Sarah Millican any children?
No. Sarah Millican does not have children. She has been open about her decision, stating in a 2023 Facebook post: “I’ve never wanted kids. I love my life as it is” (Swooon).
Why doesn’t Sarah Millican have children?
In addition to her Facebook post, she has mentioned in interviews that her career and personal happiness were priorities. She has not elaborated further, but the choice appears to be a personal one, not a result of circumstance.
Despite being one of the UK’s most beloved comedians, Millican is often asked about children — a question rarely posed to male comedians of her stature. Her answer is characteristically direct: she simply doesn’t want them.
The implication: for fans wondering about a “Sarah Millican children reason,” it’s a matter of personal choice, not a hidden story.
Is Sarah Millican on Netflix?
Yes. Her stand-up special Late Bloomer is available on Netflix globally. However, there is a regional catch: in the UK and Ireland, the special is available on Channel 4 instead of Netflix (Chambers Management official representation; Sarah Millican official YouTube). It can also be purchased or streamed from her own website.

She also has a series of stand-up specials on DVD and streaming, including Thoroughly Modern Millican and Outsider.
