Children
Len Goodman and Sue Goodman never had any child of their own. Len was married when he was only 28 years old to his former dance partner, Cherry Kingston. In his autobiography, ‘Better Late Than Never,’ he revealed that it was like a “dancing marriage” that lost the love somewhere else and did not had the spark of love.
After the two split and their marriage could not be run for a long time, Goodman had another long-term partner. According to what he mentioned in his autobiography, the new girl in his life was named Lesley. He explained that she was the first woman he ever fell in love with.
By the time Len Goodman learned that his new partner Lesley was pregnant, he was only 36 years old. Without having any sign of marriage, the pair gave birth to a boy, James William Goodman, in 1981. Len told Daily Mail that he was still unhappy with his life as much as he should have been.
Sadly, he came to the point where being with Lesley was not that much satisfied, as she could not stand being with him, and he couldn’t continue with the relationship. Talking about the child, James Goodman, the only son of Len, is a married man now, with a wife, Sophie Goodman and two children- Alice and Dan.
