Ricky Gervais, 65, Reveals Awkwardly Superficial Reason He Plans To Finally Marry Partner Of 44 Years

Ricky Gervais has left fans stunned after sharing the very bizarre and awkwardly superficial reason he's finally chosen to marry his partner of 44 years.

The star had people questioning their relationship for years after they never chose to tie the knot. But it appears that things might be changing, once and for all, for this pair.

The star shared that the only reason he's chosen to say 'I do' is the practical desire to avoid a major UK inheritance tax bill. This is why he's asking Jane Fallon's hand in marriage after spending nearly four decades with her.

The pair first met in the year 1982 while they were studying at University College London, and that's where they reportedly shared finances, homes, and basically their lives. But seeing his reason for marriage, fans are skeptical about whether his partner should agree or not.
