Jones has been married to director Paul Moloney since 1989. The couple met on the set of The Henderson Kids. Jones stated "She had the disease for many, many years and I became her carer. Anyone who has had anything to do with Alzheimer's or dementia will know what it's like. It's heart breaking, seeing someone disappear before your eyes. Because of that, I had neither the time nor the energy to commit to a long running series and could only do guest roles here and there."
