Colin Firth Family: Wife, Kids, Siblings, Parents

An attractive and enigmatic Englishman, Colin Firth is the famous actor with tremendously impressive list of awards. He made his decision of becoming an actor at rather early age. Colin was eleven, when he got absorbed by the idea of acting career. The role of Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice brought him truly world fame and acknowledgement in cinematography. However, Mr. Darcy is not just a brilliant actor, but also a family man. Let’s have a look at people, who surround him in his daily life.

Colin was born in 1960 in a family of educationalists. His mother, Shirley Jean, used to give lectures on comparative religion for college students. Despite the fact, Colin was an outsider in school; Shirley was always sympathetic towards her son, and encouraged his ambitions to be an actor.

David Firth, the star’s father, taught history at the same college. He also got the position of education officer in the Nigerian Government, so the Firths family had to spend several years in Africa.

The Bridget Jones’s diary star is not the only kid to his parents. He has younger sister and brother.

Katie Firth was born two years after Colin, while the family resided in Nigeria. Firth’s sister is an actress. She also gives vocal lessons. After getting married, Katie settled in California, but later came back to London. Her connection with famous brother is really tight.

Jonathan Firth is the youngest child in the family. He also chose an acting career, but he is not as widely known as his elder brother is. Jonathan mostly plays minor roles on different British TV shows.

Colin Firth started his first serious relationship with co-actress Meg Tilly. Actually, they were together for five years. In 1990, Meg gave birth to their son. The couple moved to Canada. However, this decision provoked their future separation, as being Englishman to the core; Colin didn’t feel well leading quiet life in rural Canada.

In 1997, the British actor married Livia Giuggioli, an Italian producer and film director. When they started dating, Colin began to study the native language of his lover. He is now a fluent speaker. The marriage looks like being really strong, as they are still together, and bring up two handsome sons.

William Firth is Colin’s firstborn, who arrived in 1990 in his romantic connection with Meg. William followed his parents’ steps – he is now an actor, mostly known by his works in Spider-man, Bridget Jones’ baby and Suddenly Now.

Luca Firth is the eldest actor’s son with his present wife Livia, who appeared in 2001. He is keen on music, and even performed on Isle of Wight Festival. The Love Actually star was really proud of his son’s singing.

Matteo Firth is two years younger than Luca. He was born in 2003. He is very attached to his brother. It seems they get on really well.
