Victoria, Lady Starmer (née Alexander; born 1973 or 1974) is the wife of Keir Starmer, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. She worked as a solicitor and now works for the National Health Service (NHS) as an occupational health worker.
Even though she studied to be a lawyer, she stopped practising law and began working for the NHS.[1][2]
Alexander met Keir Starmer, then a senior barrister with Doughty Street Chambers, while working on the same case.[3] They got engaged in 2004 and married on 6 May 2007.[4]
The couple have two children: a son (born 2008) and a daughter (born 2010).[5]
