Keir Starmer looks jubilant as he celebrates his election victory with his wife, gripping her hand just hours after the exit poll revealed a massive majority of the Labour Party.
Sir Keir Starmer's intensely private wife stepped out of the shadows and into the limelight today as the couple celebrated Labour 's historic election win with a passionate kiss.
'Lady Vic', as she is known fondly in party circles, has been missing from the election campaign completely. The couple have two teenage children, a 16-year-old boy and 13-year-old daughter said to be both daunted by the limelight The Labour leader, with wife Victoria, received a rapturous welcome after returning from the Palace where he had an audience with the King around noon, shortly after Rishi Sunak exited having tendered his resignation
Mr and Mrs Starmer married 17 years ago - but their relationship had a rocky start, and falling in love, let alone a marriage and children, couldn't have been more far off when a young Sir Keir questioned the quality of her work. She secured degrees in law and sociology from Cardiff University, where she was president of the student union from 1995 to 1996.
Sir Keir later told Vogue: 'It was absolutely classic Vic. Very sassy, very down to earth, no nonsense from anyone, including from me'. Lady Victoria is Jewish, and Sir Keir has said he tries to uphold the Shabbat tradition of Friday night dinners as often as possible - despite being an atheist himself.
'Lady Vic' left law and retrained to be an occupational health therapist for the NHS in Camden, where they still live with their two teenage children.
