- Despite her demanding work schedule, she makes time for her children.
- Ria does not have any connection with T4’s Steve Jones.
Her Motherhood Journey
Ria’s journey into motherhood began at a time when the comedian wasn’t anticipating becoming a mother.
While Lina was in a relationship with her ex-husband, she became pregnant, leading them to get married. Later, they welcomed two other kids.
As a working mother, Lina spent much of her time on the road, seldom staying home.
Despite her exhausting schedule and often working through the night, the comedian never missed any of her kids’ school programs.
This shows her motherly side and the significance of her children in her life.
As her children grew older, expressing compassion and affection became somewhat challenging for her, prompting her to resort to paperwork.
Back in 2016, Ria penned a heartfelt letter to her daughter, guiding her through the trials of the word, how to deal with boys, and other issues of being a woman.
My ex and I have only just created a WhatsApp group with our youngest so when he speaks to one of us he speaks to both of us.
HOW DID WE NOT THINK OF THIS SOONER??

Further, Ria and her ex-husband have created a WhatsApp group with their youngest child.
This common group has facilitated her son to communicate with her parents simultaneously.
Additionally, Ria has a friendly relationship with her stepson. Reflecting on their close relationship, the comedian often jokes about her role as a stepmom.
In an interview in 2021, she mentioned that as a step-mum, she finds herself in a place where she gets “all of the glory and none of the blame.”
“If the kid turns out great you be like, yeah, well, you know, wouldn’t have done if I wasn’t there. And if the kid f**ks up, you’re like, Oh well, I didn’t make them.”
One of Her Sons Is A Graphic Designer
In a Facebook post by Ria in 2019, she mentioned that her son is into graphics and animation.
He has maintained an Instagram under the handle @morphon_matrix to promote his works.
From his Instagram bio, we can say that Ria’s son is a guinea pig lover and parkour fanatic.
Her Ex-Husband Is Not T4’s Steve Jones
Amidst reports suggesting that Ria’s former husband’s name is Steve Jones, fans began speculating whether T4’s Steve is her ex-husband.
However, the Welsh television presenter, actor, and model Stephen Ashton Jones, popularly known as Steve Jones, was not married to the British comedian.
While Ria’s ex-husband is over 20 years older than her, T4’s Stephen is 47, roughly the same age as Lina.
Therefore, all these reports are baseless; T4’s Steve and Ria’s ex-husband Steve are different individuals.
