Personal Life
Jones married Alison Telfer in 1970, and they have two children together, Sally (born in 1974), and Bill (born in 1976). The marriage broke down after he admitted to falling in love with 26-year-old student Anna Söderström.
On 21 October 2006, it was reported in The Daily Mirror that Jones had been diagnosed with bowel cancer. Another article dated three days later, also by The Mirror, indicated that the exploratory surgery performed on Jones had good results. It was reported in the British media on 27 April 2009 that Jones was due to become a father for the third time in autumn 2009, by way of Söderström. But he remained married to Telfer. Jones's daughter Siri was born in early September 2009.

“We should seek by all means in our power to avoid war, by analysing possible causes, by trying to remove them, by discussion in a spirit of collaboration and good will.

—Neville Chamberlain (1869–1940)
“One’s real life is so often the life that one does not lead.”
