Jamie and Jools Oliver Mark 25 Years on Good Housekeeping Cover, Open Up on Marriage and Parenting

The Good Housekeeping feature pairs their milestone with Jamie Oliver's push for better school support after his dyslexia diagnosis.

Overview

  • Good Housekeeping UK’s Christmas issue features the couple on its cover to mark their 25th wedding anniversary, with the edition on sale 23 October.
  • Jamie Oliver says he and Jools are “very different,” noting that “opposites attract” and that a “certain tension” in their marriage “seems to work.”
  • Jools Oliver describes parenting their 16-year-old daughter as “brutal” and “heartbreaking,” saying she is “not particularly warm” to her at the moment.
  • Turning 50, Jamie says he feels “in a place of real gratitude” and is “editing away the noise,” including avoiding negative “mood hoovers.”
  • Following a dyslexia diagnosis this year, he is urging better support for neurodivergent children in schools, including a call to Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson, and has advanced the campaign through a TV documentary and interviews such as his emotional BBC Breakfast appearance.
