Who is Keir Starmer's wife Victoria?

Victoria Starmer, also known as Lady Victoria Starmer, is a former solicitor turned NHS occupational health worker and the wife of British politician Keir Starmer.

Despite her husband's prominent political career, she plans to continue her work with the NHS, if he should become Prime Minister.

A commitment Keir Starmer has confirmed, stating, "She wants to and she loves it."

The pair both reportedly met in the early 2000s, before they later tied the knot in 2007.

She made her first appearance as the then-new Labour leader’s wife when the pair were filmed clapping for the NHS in 2020, outside their Camden home in North London.

Victoria has also been recognised for her stylish wardrobe - with her immaculate dress sense at the 2021 Labour conference in Brighton attracting comparisons to royal Kate Middleton.

Despite her husband being in the public spotlight, Victoria appears to prefer a more private and quiet life, and as a result not much else is known about her.

On a rare occasion Keir shared a picture of them attending Taylor Swift's Eras Tour concert in London in June 2024.

Lady Starmer has kept herself out of the spotlight and has never done an interview.

Sir Keir told the Times: "We'll keep it that way.

"I’m not going to pretend that it's easy for her, because it isn't.

"She wants to get on with her life.

"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're privileged enough to get it over the line."

Do they have children?

The couple share two children together - a son and a daughter who are reportedly being brought up in the Jewish faith of their mother.

Their son is named Toby, however, both Keir and his wife Victoria have never disclosed their daughter's name publicly.

They all live in Camden together in Sir Keir's Holborn and St Pancras constituency.

How did Keir and Victoria Starmer meet?

Keir and Victoria Starmer met during their work as solicitors.

In an interview with Piers Morgan he said:"I was doing a case in court and it all depended on whether the documents were accurate.

"I [asked my colleagues] who actually drew up these documents, they said a woman called Victoria, so I said let's get her on the line."

Victoria hung up on him during the call and was heard mumbling: "Who the f*** does he think he is?"

He then asked her out on a date to a pub in Camden.

And a few years later in 2007, the pair married.
