Manning has twins (a son Jonathan and a daughter Georgina) born in 1979, with partner Dean Harris. She was previously briefly married (for just two months) to Raynor Burton. The children were born premature and suffered health issues, which caused her to move to Australia where she met her long term partner, Barry Crocker. The relationship ended with Manning returning to the UK in 2010.
