Is BBC Journalist Lyse Doucet married?

It's quite startling to know that this warm and charismatic woman has never been married at all. Doucet, who has won the Sandford St Martin trustee's award for presenting the profile of religion, is still single and news in relation to her link ups or affairs with any man have never been heard.

Moreover, this strong and independent woman has always expressed a huge passion for her work. In one of the interviews by independent.co.uk she quoted:

"People choose their own lives," Doucet says. "If [having a family] had been important, I would have gone in that direction. But I can honestly say I live a life without regret."

Doucet, with much emotion, stressed that her major goal in  life was to report all the happenings around the world and also to inspire people to get out of their living room and explore the outer world.

 

She has been to many countries like Africa, Afghanistan, Syria, Pakistan, Iran, Columbia and much more. 

Also, when she was asked if she would love any travel companion, a boyfriend perhaps, then she said she would love a close friend (not a boyfriend) who knows all about the culture, history and language of the place so that they could explore more.

This pretty much explains everything that Lyse has no plans of settling down anytime sooner.

Here is a video of Lyse's emotional reunion with the family she met in Syria while reporting on the picnic for refugees in Toronto.

Perhaps, having a husband and raising a family was never Lyse's dream and that's why she is single and probably would choose to remain the same for the rest of her life.
