The enigmatic Victoria Starmer: Meet the woman behind the Labour leader
From family life to public appearances
Victoria Starmer, formerly known as Victoria Alexander, is a private person who has chosen to keep a low profile throughout her husband, Sir Keir Starmer's, political career. However, there are some glimpses into her life that can be gleaned from public appearances and interviews.
Victoria and Keir met while studying law at the University of Leeds. They married in 2005 and have two children together, a 15-year-old boy and a younger daughter. The family lives in a £1.7 million house in north London.
A supportive partner
Victoria is a supportive partner who has been by Keir's side throughout his career. She accompanied him on the campaign trail during the 2019 general election and is often seen at public events with him.
In an interview with The Guardian in 2020, Keir Starmer spoke about the importance of Victoria's support. "She is my rock," he said. "She is the person who keeps me grounded and sane. She is also the person who tells me when I am being an idiot."
