Comedian Ricky Gervais’ partner, Jane Fallon, provided an update on her health following her second surgery, which came shortly after false reports of her passing. The 65-year-old bestselling author, who had previously undergone a procedure to preserve her vision, underwent another operation after being diagnosed with breast cancer in March following a routine mammogram. Jane, who has been in a long-term relationship with the renowned comedian for over forty years, has been sharing her journey with her online followers.
She recently shared a positive update, mentioning that her first surgery to remove the tumor and surrounding healthy tissue had gone well. In her latest update on Instagram, Jane expressed that her second surgery was successful, with clear margins achieved on the initial excision. Although some precancerous cells were found, additional surgery was deemed unnecessary. She is now considering treatment options, leaning towards a cautious approach.
In response to a fake obituary circulating online after her cancer diagnosis, Jane clarified that any images of her in the hospital were fabricated through AI technology. Fans showed support, condemning the fake news and expressing their outrage.
Originally from Harrow, North West London, Jane and Ricky Gervais began dating in 1982 while studying at University College London. They currently reside in Hampstead and share a love for animals.
