NEED TO KNOW<\/p>\n

Keir and Victoria Starmer met as lawyers and married in 2007 before welcoming two children<\/p>\n

Victoria transitioned from practicing law to working in occupational health for the NHS<\/p>\n

Keir was appointed as the British prime minister in 2024, and is now facing calls to resign<\/p>\n

Keir<\/a> and Victoria Starmer have been together for nearly 20 years.<\/p>\n

The longtime couple met while working as lawyers and married in 2007, The Sunday Times<\/a> reported. In the years following, Keir and Victoria welcomed a son and a daughter, whose names have never been publicly shared.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to overly talk about my children because I don\u2019t want to bring them into this \u2014 that\u2019s the very thing I\u2019ve been trying not to do,” the British prime minister told reporters while campaigning in July 2024, per The Independent<\/a>. He was appointed by King Charles<\/a> later that month.<\/p>\n

Keir added, “They\u2019re understandably at an age where this is very impactful on them, which is why I\u2019ve been so fiercely protective of them for many years now and will continue to try to be so.”<\/p>\n

The British politician has also kept his wife largely out of the spotlight. He told The Sunday Times in June 2024 that the pair had agreed Victoria wouldn’t do interviews, and she would continue working in occupational health after his appointment as prime minister.<\/p>\n

Most recently, Keir has faced calls to resign from his Labour Party lawmakers amid turmoil within his political party.<\/p>\n

So, who is Keir Starmer’s wife? Here’s everything to know about Victoria Starmer and her relationship with the British Prime Minister.<\/p>\n

Raised just outside of London, Victoria studied law and sociology at Cardiff University, per The Guardian<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Though she became a lawyer after graduating, she later pivoted to occupational health work for the National Health Service (NHS).<\/p>\n

She met Keir through work<\/p>\n

The pair met while they were both working as lawyers. Keir told British Vogue<\/a>in July 2024 that he quizzed her about documents she had prepared for court, suggesting they may have been incorrect.<\/p>\n

When she was hanging up the phone, Keir overheard her say, “Who the f— does he think he is?”<\/p>\n

\u201cYou might think \u2018not the best of starts,\u2019 but it was absolutely classic Vic,\u201d he said. \u201cVery sassy, very down-to-earth, no nonsense from anyone \u2014 including from me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Victoria and Keir wed in May 2007, according to The Sunday Times.<\/p>\n

Victoria and Keir have two children<\/p>\n

The couple share two kids. They welcomed a son around 2009 and a daughter around 2011, both of whom they have kept out of the public eye.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s hard for them, really hard,\u201d Keir told The Sunday Times. \u201cI worry about what the future holds for them because they\u2019re at an impactful age.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though Keir has described his wife as “grounded” and “streetwise,” he has also been open about how their leap into public life has affected her.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m not going to pretend that it\u2019s easy for her, because it isn\u2019t,” the prime minister told The Sunday Times. “She wants to get on with her life. She doesn\u2019t want to push herself into the limelight.”<\/p>\n

To maintain some privacy, Keir said they agreed not to put their kids’ names “in the public domain” and that Victoria will do no interviews.<\/p>\n

He added, “It is a massive intrusion when you have media outside the house. It is inhibiting on the whole family. That does impact on her and will do even more if we\u2019re privileged enough to get it over the line.\u201d<\/p>\n
