Here’s where it gets even funnier. The Bakers are incredibly private about this.
Mike Baker once appeared on The One Show. He was charming, definitely. He talked about his chickens and his love for Janice. He dodged the entire Annie question like a matador avoiding a bull.
When a fan wrote into a magazine asking, the reply was a masterpiece of polite deflection. Something about “focusing on the present” and “happy times on the farm.”
That’s code for: “We’re not telling you, so stop asking, but we love you anyway.”
Why This Is So Delicious
Let’s be honest. This is fun because Matt Baker is the safest person on television.
If his dad had a former love, it’s the most charming mini-scandal ever. It’s not a cocaine bust. It’s not a tax evasion scheme.
It’s a man named Mike who maybe, just maybe, loved someone else before he fell for the wonderful Janice. It’s a human story with a sheepdog in the background.
We crave this stuff. We want our heroes to have tiny, cozy mysteries. It makes them real. It makes them ours.
