Who is nigella lawsons father

Nigella Lawson 's Cook, Eat, Repeat has us glued to the screens on Monday evenings as the celebrity cook whips up all kinds of delightful dishes.

The star has an army of fans the world over, who love her simple, comforting recipes which always have that wow factor. But behind the cameras, Nigella is extremely private when it comes to her home life and children, and we rarely see photos of her family.

It is not known whether the star has a partner at the moment. She recently told The Guardian how she found of the 'pause' of lockdown: "…Wonderful, which I know sounds awful.

I very much like having no public life. It is believed that the property boasts a cinema, a wine cellar and a modern kitchen. An Instagram photo of her garden showed a pretty pagoda surrounded by trees. MORE: Celebrity 'girl dads': the stars who are outnumbered at home and love it!

Nigella wed renowned art collector Charles Saatchi in September and the couple were married for 10 years. The end of their 'tumultuous' marriage was featured in the press, and in they were granted a decree nisi. Charles is now in a relationship with fashion stylist Trinny Woodall.

When the baby was born, the chef paid tribute to her sister by naming her daughter Cosima Thomasina Diamond. They would later welcome two children together: Cosima, now 27, and Bruno, now But just nine years after their wedding, Lawson became a widow. Diamond was diagnosed with throat cancer in and after a four-year battle, he died in aged Diamond died at the height of Lawson's career.

She was filming her cooking show Nigella Bites at the time and only took a two-week break after he died. I'm not a great believer in breaks," she said at the time.

Nine months after the death of husband John Diamond, Lawson controversially moved on with advertising executive and art collector Charles Saatchi. They married in , just two years after he divorced his second wife of 11 years. Lawson and the art collector were married for a decade before their headline-making split in Lawson and Saatchi's marriage made headlines in when he was photographed grabbing Nigella's throat during an argument as they dining alfresco at posh London eatery Scott's.

The photos were published in major papers in the UK and abroad and sparked concerns for the couple's relationship. Saatchi later called the incident a "playful tiff" while Lawson made no public comment. The pair called it quits one month later. She was one of four: a brother, Dominic, now a journalist, and two sisters, Thomasina and Horatia. Did she ever resent her father for lumbering her with what was essentially his name? Photographed in the society magazines while at Oxford University, I assumed Lawson enjoyed something of a golden youth.

Is it genetic? But what was so bad about hers? The losses she has endured in adulthood verge on the gothic. And then there was Diamond. The couple met on the Sunday Times, where she was the deputy literary editor and he was a writer, and fell deeply in love.

By all accounts, they made an endearing couple: he the naughty East End Jewish boy, she the quiet society beauty. Friends recall cosy dinners round theirs with Diamond, the ebullient host, and Lawson quietly enjoying herself by his side, learning from him how to be comfortable in herself.

He was diagnosed with cancer at 43, when their children were still babies, and his first thought was for Lawson, who had already been through so much. When he lost his voice, Lawson had to be his translator to the world.

When life is taking away your happiness, you hold on to the few pleasures you can control. Two years later, Lawson married Saatchi.

He even resembled her father, which, surely, even if only on a subliminal level, compounded the sense of being taken care of. Did she think about stopping? When we think of Lawson, we think of her hosting those lovely dinner parties on her show, surrounded by people and noise. Lawson turned 60 this year and that, combined with lockdown has brought some changes.
