Who are Nigel Farages 4 low-key children? The Donald Trump supporter and Reform leader has 2 daug
Nigel Farage is one of Britain’s most controversial figures: a pro-Brexit, anti-immigration campaigner, he recently threw his hat in the ring to try for an eighth time to win a seat in the House of Commons, per NBC News.
The 60-year-old initially said he wouldn’t be running in the UK’s coming elections as he was busy focusing on supporting Donald Trump ahead of the US presidential election in November, but said he was standing again for the sake of his supporters.
“I can’t turn my back on those millions of people who followed me, believed in me,” Farage said in his announcement, “I’ve changed my mind because I can’t let down millions of people.” He is being described by some media as current UK prime minister Rishi Sunak’s “worst nightmare” for his ability to steal votes away from the leader’s right-wing base.
But what do we know about Nigel Farage’s life away from politics, including his family life? Here’s what we’ve learned about his low-key children:
Who are Nigel Farage’s children?
Nigel Farage, 60, has four children from two different relationships. Per the Evening Standard, he shares daughters Izzy and Victoria with his second wife Kirsten Mehr, and has two sons, Samuel and Thomas, with first wife Gráinne Hayes.
They’re all very private
Not much can be found about the outspoken figurehead’s children online, and that’s probably by design. His youngest daughter Isabelle (aka Izzy), born in 2005, has appeared in public in the past though.
In November 2023 she flew to Brisbane to show support for her father on I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here, per British media, and was shown on the reality show tearfully embracing her dad when he was voted off. “Dad we’re all so proud of you. It’s been so refreshing to just see you as you for once,” she told him.
According to LinkedIn, it seems Isabelle is also interested in politics as she’s previously worked as an intern at the US House of Representatives and in the House of Commons, and is currently a “gap year student”.
They’re proud of their father
Per The Independent, Farage’s kids showed their support for their dad by sending him a letter in a December 2023 episode of I’m a Celebrity – a show that requires its participants to undertake stomach churning challenges to win benefits whilst stranded in the Australian jungle.
The letter said, “To Dad, you’ve achieved so much over the years but nothing has made us prouder than showing people who you really are,” before adding, “Why are we not shocked at you effortlessly sinking those dirty pints?”
