Jamie Oliver's Love Story Is Incredibly Unusual For A Chef
He's been married to the same woman for almost 20 years — swoon.
Jamie and Jools were babies when they met.
Ok, not really — but they weren't adults yet. At 17, the two went on a double date to the movies, and on the drive over, Jamie crashed the car carrying everyone. "She felt sorry for me. She thought, 'The way he drives, he needs support in life'," the chef joked on the Chatty Man show.
Jamie was basically Noah from The Notebook.
Jools worked in Tokyo for three months when she and Jamie first started dating. Every single day, Jamie sent me a letter or a fax without fail!" she captioned an Instagram picture showing a stack of some of the notes she'd kept.
Their English wedding was royal-level gorgeous.
It took place at All Saints Church in Essex and had all the makings of a fairytale event. Women wore fascinators, Jools was wrapped in silk, and guests threw flower petals at the newlyweds as they left the ceremony.
Jamie and Jools started a family quickly.
Their first daughter was born in March of 2002, less than two years after the couple was married. They had another daughter just 13 months later.
Now they've got five kids.
After their youngest was born in 2016, a reporter from The Telegraph asked Jamie if his family was complete. "I think so, yes. I think at 42 you're pushing your luck. I haven't got any more room in the car, so we'd have to buy a bus," he joked. "But Jools would love me to say 'never say never.' She'd tell me not to rule it out."
The Olivers gave their children the most unique names.
They're all inspired by nature — and they're all a total mouthful: Poppy Honey Rosie Oliver, Daisy Boo Pamela Oliver, Petal Blossom Rainbow Oliver, Buddy Bear Maurice Oliver, and River Rocket Oliver.
He treats her like a princess.
In an interview with Red magazine, Jamie revealed the sweet things he does for Jools, like bringing her cappuccinos and giving her foot massages.
Jamie and Jools work hard on their relationship.
"We love each other to bits, but I don't think marriage is easy," Jamie once said to Mail on Sunday.
Jamie is the chef of the household — duh.
"It’s always been the same way. Jools rarely cooks for me," Jamie told Hello! Online. He calls cooking for someone one of the most romantic things you can do. Jools loves a full English roast, and she's got a major sweet tooth for chocolate.
They're THAT couple on social media.
Jools' instagram is packed with cute photos of her husband and lovey-dovey captions.
