Whether it's being extra generous with the butter or upgrading the humble microwave to a 'mee-kro-wah-ve', no one does decadence in the kitchen like Nigella.
As the daughter of former Conservative Chancellor of the Exchequer, Nigel Lawson, you could say Nigella has always been in the spotlight, and since beginning her career as a journalist in 1983, she has written a series of successful cookery books and presented her own cooking TV shows.
To help you get to know the TV chef a little better, we've put together everything you need to know about her, from her love life to some of her best recipes.
How old is Nigella?
She was born January 6, 1960 in London making her currently 61 years old.
Nigella Lawson's love life
Nigella's first husband was journalist John Diamond. The pair first met in 1986 when they worked alongside one another at The Sunday Times. They got married in 1992 in Venice before having two children together, a daughter, Cosima and a son, Bruno.
Sadly, in 1997, John died after a battle with throat cancer and shortly after his death, Nigella suffered a period of depression.
In 2003, she married art collector Charles Saatchi. Their marriage was turbulent and following a public altercation where witnesses saw Lawson being grabbed around the neck by Saatchi, he was cautioned by police for assault.
Nigella later appeared in court, claiming her husband emotionally abused her and in July 2013, they divorced.
Since the divorce, she has kept her love life very private.
What's her net worth?
According to CelebrityNetWorth.com, she is worth around £15 million.
Nigella's weight loss journey
In 2019, Nigella dropped two dress sizes going from a 16 to a 12, losing two stone over two years.
She's always been very open about her weight loss and made it clear that dieting isn't for her. She lost the weight from a mixture of cutting down on portion sizes and doing yoga and did so in a long period.
