Juliette Norton, better known as Jools Oliver, gained widespread recognition largely due to her marriage to celebrity chef Jamie Oliver. She and Jamie tied the knot in July 2000, marking the beginning of a long-lasting partnership that has since welcomed five beautiful children. Over the years, Jools has built her own presence online, amassing over 550,000 followers on Instagram, where she shares glimpses of family life and personal ventures.
Before all the spotlight, though, it was back in 1993 when Jools first crossed paths with Jamie—both were just 18 at the time. Their love story began in Essex, England, where Jools was raised, and where Jamie happened to be studying at Westminster College. It wasn’t long before Jamie’s career took off, especially after the premiere of his hit cooking show, The Naked Chef, in 1999, which catapulted him into international fame.
As for family life, Jools and Jamie have created a warm, vibrant home for their kids: three daughters named Poppy, Daisy, and Petal, plus two sons who complete their close-knit family. Through it all, Jools Oliver has remained a steady presence by Jamie’s side, balancing motherhood, personal growth, and public life with grace. And even though much of her fame is linked to being married to Jamie Oliver, she continues to carve out her own identity—one step at a time.
She’s often described by her kids as having an unstoppable energy, so much so that they’ve playfully compared her to Monica from the popular TV show Friends. It’s not hard to see why—her enthusiasm and lively personality really do mirror that of the beloved character. Over the years, this comparison has become a bit of a running joke in the family, with her children saying she channels Monica in more ways than one. Whether it’s her passion, drive, or attention to detail, the resemblance keeps coming up. And honestly, she takes it as a compliment—after all, who wouldn’t want to be seen as someone as vibrant and full of life as Monica?
