Jamie Oliver has posted a wholesome tribute to his wife, Juliette “Jools” Oliver, on her birthday.
The couple have been married for just over a quarter of a century, having tied the knot in July of 2000 at All Saints Church in Rickling, Essex. They had first met almost eight years before that, in 1993, when they were both just 17 years old. They both grew up in the same area of Essex.
The popular British chef, restaurateur and cookbook author, 50, took to his Instagram account to mark Jools — a writer, and designer, and former model who recently retrained to become a midwife — turning 51 on Thursday, November 27.
Jamie Oliver Calls Jools a ‘Legend and Icon’
The post Jamie Oliver shared with his 10.6 million followers included a reel of 13 photographs. Of course, Jools was in all of them, whether it be alone, with Jamie, or with other members of their family, including some of the couple’s children.
Some specific examples of the images in the post include one of Jools riding a bicycle, one of her sitting in a greenhouse, one of her and Jamie posing together by a river, and one of her posing with her and Jamie’s oldest daughter, Poppy.
Oliver captioned the post as follows: “Happy birthday to my wife the one and only @joolsoliver whoop whoop !! have the most wonderful day of love and fuss and mums coffee cake ! You are the best and I Love you so much!…. 51 today !!!! What an absolute legend and Icon you are xxxxxxx.”
There were, of course, an abundance of additional birthday wishes for Jools from Jamie’s fans and followers in the post’s comments section.
