On Sunday night, the Oliver family celebrated Poppy’s 21st birthday in grand style.
Poppy is the oldest of renowned chef Jamie Oliver’s five children with his wife Jools, and she looked stunning on her wedding day, posing for photos with her famous family in a beautiful black gown.
But it was Jamie and Jools’ second youngest kid, son Buddy, who drew the most attention from admirers.
Many adoring fathers Jamie’s 9.4 million Instagram followers couldn’t believe how much Buddy, 12, had grown up and expressed their dismay in the comments section.
‘Happy Birthday Poppy!’ one reader remarked beneath the three fantastic photographs Jamie uploaded of his daughter’s celebrations. On a side note, how mature does Buddy appear?’
Another Instagrammer echoed: ‘Gorgeous family. When did Buddy grow up?’ while someone else added: ‘How grown up does Buddy look?’
Other comments included: ‘When did Buddy become an adult?’ and ‘The family is growing up so fast.’
Jamie captioned his post: ‘Me and the gang on my daughter Poppy’s 21 st birthday party…..what’s a night …Thanks to all that celebrated with us and who helped put the party together big love Jamie.’ [sic]
Jamie and Jools welcomed Poppy in 2002 and just a year later had another daughter, Daisy.
In 2009 their third daughter Petal was born, followed by Buddy in 2009.
The couple had their fifth child, River, in 2016, although he was not present on Sunday night.
The festivities came as Jamie disclosed that he and Jools discreetly took in hundreds of Ukrainian migrants after Russia’s President Vladimir Putin invaded last year.
This month, when appearing as a guest judge on MasterChef Australia, the famous chef revealed that he is still living with two Ukrainian families.
Tucking into a Russian and Ukrainian dish called borscht and pampushka, made by contestant Larissa, Jamie remarked: ‘With things going on in the world at the moment, it’s kind of profound you’re here this year with both a Russian and Ukrainian dish.’
He went on: ‘Can I give you a little secret that no one really knows? I have had two Ukrainian families living with me for the, like, the last seven months.
‘We have done fundraisers with top chefs from Ukraine, so I have had my fair share of borscht.’
