Biographie

Jonsson lives in Stoke Row, Oxfordshire, and has a home on the Swedish island of Värmdö. She has been married three times and has four children.

Jonsson's first marriage, to cameraman John Turnbull, lasted from 1990 to 1995. They have one child together, son Cameron, born circa 1994.

Jonsson subsequently dated footballer Stan Collymore. In June 1998, during the 1998 World Cup, Collymore issued a public apology after an argument between them in a Paris bar became violent.

Soon after the end of her relationship with Collymore, Jonsson began dating German hotel manager Marcus Kempen. She gave birth to their daughter, Bo, in November 2000. Jonsson's relationship with Kempen ended soon after the birth.

In April 2002, Jonsson confirmed reports that she had had an affair with Sven-Göran Eriksson, then manager of England's football team, who had a long-time girlfriend. Jonsson stated that her relationship with Eriksson had recently ended. Partly as a result of her involvement with Eriksson, she was given the job as a columnist for the News of the World newspaper in 2003, in which she regularly commented on Eriksson's personal life. Her column was stopped in 2007, a year after Eriksson resigned as England manager. It was announced in 2011 that she had taken legal proceedings against the newspaper over allegations an investigator had hacked into her mobile phone.

While presenting Mr. Right, a 2002 reality television show, Jonsson met Lance Gerrard-Wright, who was a bachelor faced with choosing a girlfriend from a group of women during the show. However, the eventual winner turned Gerrard-Wright down, and he and Jonsson subsequently began a relationship. They married in August 2003, and Jonsson gave birth to their daughter, Martha, in May 2004. Jonsson and Gerrard-Wright split in October 2005.

Jonsson married her third husband, American advertising executive Brian Monet, in March 2008. They have one son together, Malcolm, born in June 2008.

Jonsson is a Manchester United fan.
