Vanessa opened up about her 10-year age difference with Ben, as their “relationship coincided with acres of menopause.”
In an interview with The times, Vanessa said: ‘If I’d had the same old husband, I would have settled in. Sex? You’re crazy? I’m hot. I’m tired. I’m old. But Ben is young and playful, which is part of the charm of him.
I have had to be much more playful than any menopausal woman should be. It’s been a non-stop racket at the door, in the car, on the sun lounger, when all I really wanted was to melt or sob or scream.

“Of course it’s been so much better than sticking my head in the freezer, only with more effort, even when I can’t stand the thought of sex, I find I like the closeness, plus while I’m at it I can’t eat or drink so that I have not gained weight.
Vanessa added that she has had to “up my game in every way over 16 grueling years” due to Ben’s “youthful impulses”, and the singer was 34 when they met.
The pair were friends for 10 months before things started to escalate into a “hot and heavy relationship”.
Vanessa said she had her first hot flash while hosting her first Radio 2 Breakfast show in 2011 and is still going through menopause.
