NIGEL Farage has four children — two boys and two girls.
One of his daughters, Isabelle, landed in Australia to support him on I’m A Celebrity… in late November 2023 — here’s what we know about her.
Who is Nigel Farage’s daughter Isabelle?
The youngest of Farage‘s children is named Isabelle.
Her LinkedIn profile says she works as an intern at the US House of Representatives, having previously completed an internship at the House of Commons.
The work-related social media platform lists her location as Oxted, Surrey.
She attended Woldingham School in Caterham
The 18-year-old, known as Izzy, touched down in Brisbane airport on her way to support her dad in his I’m A Celebrity adventure on November 29, 2023.
The teenager, who was spotted by photographers, stepped off the plane looking refreshed and excited, dressed in cream combat trousers, a white jumper and brown Ugg boots.
How many children does Nigel Farage have?
Farage has four children.
He had two sons with Gráinne Hayes — Samuel (born 1989) and Thomas (born 1991).
And he had two daughters with Kirsten — Victoria (born 2000) and Isabelle (born 2005) — who are both dual citizens with German passports and are bilingual.
How many times has Nigel Farage been married?
Farage has been married twice.
Gráinne Hayes was married to Farage between 1988 and 1999.
The Irish nurse met him in hospital in 1985 after he was admitted in his early 20s.
He was hit by a car following a night out at the pub in Orpington, Kent.
Nigel sustained severe injuries and was told he may lose his leg.
In 2015 Farage told the Telegraph: “My recovery was a miserable period: I was put on traction — a series of pulleys and weights — but the treatment saved my leg.
“It put paid to any more golf — but I married the nurse who treated me. A cliché, I know, but not only did I get my life back, I got a wife and two fantastic sons.”
In 1997 the pair divorced — and two years later Nigel wed once more.
Farage married his second wife Kirsten Mehr in 1999, after the divorce from his first spouse was finalised.
He reportedly met German government bond broker Kirsten in 1996 while still married to Grianne.
In 2017, Kirsten said claimed they had been living “separate lives” for years and he had moved out of the family home in Kent “a while ago”.
She said in a statement: “My husband and I have lived separate lives for some years and he moved out of the family home a while ago. This is a situation that suits everyone and is not news to any of the people involved.”
A day after Kirsten released her statement, Nigel addressed her comments live on LBC, telling his listeners that “we all go through ups and downs”.
He said at the time: “Some of you will have seen press coverage over the last few days — and no doubt there’ll be more of it — about a few personal difficulties that I’ve had with my marriage and my family and my relationships.
“And I would just say this — all of us in our lives go through ups and downs and I regret the down that I’m in at the moment.”
Who is Nigel Farage’s current girlfriend?
Ex-Ukip boss Farage’s current girlfriend is French politician Laure Ferrari, 44.
Ferrari is a French politician who ran the think-tank Institute for Direct Democracy in Europe (IDDE).
She and Nigel are said to have become good friends after meeting in 2007 when Ferrari was a waitress.
Later she worked with Farage in the European Parliament.
The Sun revealed that Laure is part of the I’m A Celebrity… friends and family group expected to fly out to Australia’s Gold Coast — essentially confirming their union.
A source said: “Nigel and Laure have been linked for years, ever since she first moved into his house in Chelsea and was seen taking the bins out.
“Nigel has never confirmed the nature of their relationship and is incredibly private about his family life but there was a feeling if there was ever a time to open that door, it was now.
“It felt like a huge step for Matt Hancock to invite his controversial girlfriend Gina Coladangelo out to Oz last year but the move proved to be a PR masterclass and somewhat helped towards his redemption after their lockdown-busting affair.”
