Vegas, who has been dating Jones for three years, characterized the decision to bring her into the business as a way to prioritize quality time while maintaining the daily rhythm of his shop. The business, which serves as a central feature of his Quest television series, has become the primary focus of his workday. According to Vegas, the inclusion of Jones—who works alongside a staff member named Bev—has created a collaborative, albeit humorous, environment that contrasts sharply with his previous career as a touring comic.
The shift in his professional focus is tied to his broader efforts to manage his well-being. Following his 2023 ADHD diagnosis, which he noted provided clarity on many of his past career struggles, Vegas has intentionally sought a more stable setting. He described his departure from live stand-up as a necessary step, explaining that the nerves and high-energy demands of the craft took a significant toll on him. While he has not officially retired, he treats comedy currently as a project that requires rest.
Despite the public nature of his work, Vegas maintains strict boundaries regarding his private life. In comments made to The Times, he clarified that while he is not hiding his relationship with Jones, he consciously avoids sharing personal details on social media. This approach marks a departure from his previous high-profile relationships, including his marriage to Catherine ‘Kitty’ Donnelly and later to Maia Dunphy. By keeping his work and personal spheres smaller and more manageable, Vegas appears to be prioritizing stability over the public-facing lifestyle he occupied for decades.
