Some of the campaigners for the rights of refugees go as far as calling Braverman ‘racist’.

But each time the high-flying Tory politician slams illegal immigration and vows to rid Britain of small migrant boats that carry helpless women and children through unforgiving waters of the English Channel to even more unforgiving shores of Suella Braverman's domain, it’s easy to forget that she’s not only a headstrong politician but also a wife and a new mum.

Here is how many children Britain’s Home Secretary has and how old they are.

Meanwhile, if you didn’t know, Suella is not Braverman’s real name. The actual one is inspired by the famous 80s TV series.

Also, her political career was hanging by the thread after she committed this offence.

Here is how many children Suella Braverman has

Britain’s Home Secretary prefers to keep her private life out of the tabloids and doesn’t disclose much. But we know that she has two children with Mercedes-Benz executive Rael Braverman.

The couple married in the House of Commons in 2018 and were together for three years before that.

Braverman once admitted that fell for her future spouse the day he came out delivering leaflets for her election campaign ‘in the pouring rain’.

The couple welcomed their first child, George, on July 10, 2019.

Their second baby - Gabriella - was born just two years after that - in March 2021, making Braverman not only a new mum but also a busy parent of two.

Speaking of her daughter’s birth, the politician expressed her gratitude to well-wishers and the NHS.

She said:

My husband and I are extremely grateful for all the kind words and generosity we have received from local people in Fareham. Huge thanks must also go to the wonderful NHS staff who supported us throughout.

What else do we know about Suella Braverman’s private life?

Suella Braverman made headlines as she became the first ever ‘minister on leave’ after her baby daughter Gabriella was born.

Despite busy postnatal life during maternity leave, she was able to carry on with her voting dutiesas an MP.

Suella Braverman and her family reside in Locks Heath, a western residential suburb of Fareham, in the south of Hampshire, England.

The Home Secretary is a member of the Triratna Buddhist Community and attends the London Buddhist Centre.

She does not share photos of her children and prefers to keep their personal life private.

Her husband Rael Braverman only spoke to the media once - to defend his wife from Gary Lineker’s controversial tweet that compared her immigration hardline with an 'immeasurably cruel policy directed at the most vulnerable people in language that is not dissimilar to that used byGermany in the Thirties'.
