Away from the world of politics, Rishi Sunak is not only a husband but also a loving father. Here's what you need to know about his children.
Who are Rishi Sunak's children?
Rishi Sunak and his wife Akshata Murthy have two children together. The couple, who got married in 2009, are proud parents of daughters Krishna and Anoushka. While the girls are usually kept away from the public eye, they occasionally accompany their parents to certain events.
What has Rishi Sunak said about his children?
Although Rishi doesn't often share details about his children's lives, he has made a few comments about his family. According to his UK Parliament About Me page, Rishi jokingly mentioned that his children keep him "busy and entertained." In November 2022, he revealed that he was fearful of letting his daughter go out alone. This motivated him to move his family out of their Downing Street flat when he was Chancellor. Rishi expressed his desire to ensure the safety of his children and all children, stating that it's what any parent wants.
During the summer of 2022, while running for a leadership position, Rishi shared a family photo on Instagram, emphasizing the importance of family and expressing gratitude for their support.
Where does Rishi Sunak live?
As the UK Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak resides in the famous Number 10 Downing Street, which has been the official residence of British PMs since 1735. Apart from this iconic residence, Rishi and his family own several properties in the UK and the United States. While they spend most of their time in London due to Rishi's governmental work, they also have a five-bedroom townhouse in the capital. Additionally, they own a mansion in Richmond, North Yorkshire, and a flat in Kensington on Old Brompton Road, which serves as a place for visiting friends and family. The Sunak family also has a family home in California, where Rishi and his wife first met as Harvard students in their early 20s.
