Meet Jamie Oliver's 5 'extraordinary' kids he shares with wife Jools

Born in March 2002, Poppy Honey Rosie is the oldest of the Oliver clan. Poppy is a graduate of the University of Leeds, having studied English Literature and Creative Writing. After wrapping up her studies in 2023, Poppy jetted off to travel around Australia with her boyfriend Ben, an emotional moment for her mum, who took to Instagram to share a heartfelt tribute. 

Captioning a photo of herself hugging Poppy, who wore a large backpack, Jools penned: "Oh my word, well that was SO hard. Another milestone of parenting that I am not that into! Have the time of your life, little Pops. We are so proud of you and Ben. Make the most of every single minute and have the adventure of a lifetime. It goes without saying that each and every one of us is going to miss you so deeply."

Poppy has since returned to the UK and now works in PR. 

Daisy Boo Pamela Oliver made Jamie and Jools' parents for the second time in April 2003. Rather than a culinary career or a job in fashion like her mum (Jools designs her own children's wear for her lifestyle brand Little Bird by Jools Oliver), Daisy found her calling in healthcare. The 22-year-old is a nurse and, according to her dad, is "my wildest, most surprising & most bonkers child who has kept me on my toes since the day she was born."

Adding to his tribute to his second eldest, Jamie wrote on social media in 2023: "What a great young lady she is becoming. She's hilarious, funny, often inappropriate (not sure who she gets that from), but a super kind and empathetic girl who is loving being trained to be a nurse, and I couldn't be more proud."

The couple welcomed their third daughter, Petal Blossom Rainbow Oliver, in April 2009. Petal (pictured left) is just 16, so she's still at school, but in 2022, her mum shared a carousel of photos on Instagram to mark a milestone – her first birthday as a teenager. "Wow, Petal and just like that, my little best friend is a teenager. You are a mini Daisy and Pop rolled into one, and we definitely share the same humour, just thinking about our many jokes makes me smile," Jools penned. "You are so damn cute!! We love you so much. Don't grow up too quickly, our little sunshine."

The arrival of their fourth child, Buddy Bear Maurice, made Jamie a 'boy dad'. Born in September 2010, Buddy is the one member of the Oliver brood to take after his father in his love of cooking. Speaking exclusively to HELLO! in September 2025 about Buddy's budding passion in the kitchen, Jamie told us: "Buddy loves to cook, but he's a teenager, so he's exploring all of his passions at the moment, whether that's fashion, playing sports, or music.

"I know that cooking is something he'll come back to throughout his life," the Jamie's 15 Minute Meals star added. "He's got that skill base and, once you've learnt it, it's something you can always use."

Buddy, who towers over his five-foot-three mum, has seen his passion come to fruition, even though he is just 15 years old. In July 2024, he published his first cookbook, Let's Cook: Fun, Easy Recipes for Kids, with Penguin and played host on his own CBBC show, Cooking Buddies, which launched that very same month. He also made an appearance on Jamie's episode of Netflix's Chef's Table: Legends series in April 2025, where the father-son duo made pasta from scratch at their home.

River Rocket Blue Dallas was the final piece of the puzzle, completing the Oliver family. Born in August 2016, River is the baby of the family, and on his birthday this year, his mother revealed the sweet nickname his family have for him as she posted an Instagram tribute to mark the occasion.

"Rivi, now you are nine," Jools wrote, penning the tribute while enjoying a sun-soaked family holiday to Italy. "We love you so much, the happiest little being on the planet, so happy to be celebrating on the Island again. Love you, little one." In 2023, Jamie described River as "amazing, bonkers, extraordinary and utterly relentless."
