Joan Hannington’s second spouse was Ronald “Benny Boisie” Hannington. After Joan got into an argument with a police informant, the two ended up meeting in a pub in London. Benny, a sophisticated burglar and accomplished antiquities trader who was seventeen years Joan’s senior, assisted Joan in honing her illicit skills. Their professional and emotional relationship was fruitful, and in 1980 they tied the knot.

Together, they gave birth to a son, Benny, who came into the world when Joan was at the height of her illicit career. Joan’s life changed drastically after Benny Boisie perished in a horrific explosion while attempting to commit insurance fraud. She made the decision to start over and raise her son without the influence of her criminal background.

Joan claims that Benny Jr. transformed her life. Following her husband’s untimely death, Joan made the decision to permanently give up her life of crime.

Even with his parents’ high-risk lifestyle, 37-year-old Benny Jr. is a rapper and has managed to maintain a low-key and relatively quiet life despite the difficulties of growing up. Benny Jr. made a brief appearance in the JOAN TV series, paying homage to his family’s legacy. In one of the opening sequences where his father, Benny Boisie, meets Joan for the first time, he plays a bartender. This minor part provided a moving link between the dramatization of his parents’ lives and the actual occurrences.

He showed their tight bond by going to the TV show JOAN’s premiere with his mother, Joan Hannington. In the early 2000s – Joan provided an update on Benny and disclosed that she had fallen in love once more while promoting her memoir. She indicated at the time that her son was employed as a builder, demonstrating Benny’s decision to eschew his parents’ previous life of crime. It’s also assumed that Benny resides close to his mother, who is currently living on the South Coast of England by the sea with her two dogs.

Even though Benny Boisie Jr. is not in the public eye, his close relationship with his mother is still apparent, and he seems to have established a secure, contented existence far from his family’s criminal history.
