Personal life

Butcher married her first husband, chef Marco Pierre White, when she was 21 – Albert Roux was best man, but the union lasted just 15 weeks. [5] They met at Tramp, the Jermyn Street nightclub, and were married three weeks later at the Brompton Oratory in Knightsbridge. White claimed[ when? ] that he was intoxicated by her looks, but it did not help the marriage when, after being asked by a reporter what he thought of his bride's £3,000-floor-length, backless white dress designed by Bruce Oldfield, White said she looked dressed to go down the catwalk rather than the aisle. [6]

Her partners after this have included actor Jeremy Northam, entrepreneur Damian Aspinall, Jonathan Rhys Meyers; [7] and then 24-year-old Jacobi Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe.

Butcher's second husband was Chilean polo player Gabriel Donoso – the father of her two children – who died in 2006. Her two daughters, [8] are singer Amber Donoso [9] and model Olivia Donoso. [10]
