Jamie Oliver shares rare photo of son Buddy – and he is almost as tall as his father
Jamie Oliver is a loving father of five children and on Saturday the TV star gave a rare glimpse of his tall son Buddy.
Taking to his Instagram stories, the chef uploaded a carousel of images from a healthy gathering. Among the snaps was a cheerful picture of him posing with food activist Danny McCubbin and 13-year-old Buddy, who looked so grown up he almost towered over his famous father.
InstagramIn the radiant picture, Jamie looked stylish as always, dressed in a printed shirt, blue jeans and suede boots, while Buddy kept it casual in a white T-shirt, baggy jeans and latte-colored sandals.
The trio seemed to be in their element as they enjoyed drinks, socialised with friends and family and then a spectacular fireworks display.
InstagramBuddy seems to be following in his father’s footsteps. The boy has long been interested in cooking and has now published a cookbook with the title. Let’s cook.
On Instagram, Jamie told his followers at the time: “Buddy has been my shadow in the kitchen since he was a child and for him, cooking has always been a real adventure.”
“As a dad who cooks, it has been such a joy to watch and be a part of him learning new skills and cooking new dishes… Just look at these pictures of Baby Buds!!!”

Besides Buddy, Jamie, 49, and his wife Jools, also 49, share Poppy, 22, Daisy, 21, Petal, 15, and River, 7.
The family live in a beautiful house in Essex, complete with ten bathrooms, two drawing rooms and a great hall. Outside, their sprawling property includes 70 acres of lawns, a three-bedroom woodland house and converted stables.

“If only I had media experience, I wouldn’t have moved there when everything went wrong,” he admitted. “Nobody really knows why I bought this house.”
He continued: “Coming from my birthplace to this house, which has belonged to only three families in 600 years, represents social mobility for me as a child who had a class for children with special needs at school.”
