His Father and Mother

Jimmy parents, Ainsley Harriott and Claire Fellows met at a clothing store. His father fell in love with his mother the instant he saw her. The pair began dating shortly after and married in 1989. Ainsley and Clare were enjoying a happy married life until the news of Ainsley’s extramarital affair broke. However, the identity of his mistress was not revealed. In 2012, the husband and wife announced the end of their marriage. Their spokesman said that they had begun living apart. Even though they are no longer together, they remain amicable and on excellent terms.

What caused their divorce? Was it due to Ainsley’s sexual orientation?

There were allegations that Ainsley was homosexual in real life, which was the cause of their divorce. He was taken aback when his followers assumed he was homosexual.  To defend his sexuality, he had to tweet, “People are often astonished to learn that I am not homosexual. They believe I’m a camper because I’m cheerful, but I’m married with children. “I adore ladies.” It is unclear what caused their divorce; some feel it was because of the LGBT narrative, while others believe it was because of a previous affair.

His brothers and sisters

He only has one sibling, Maddie Harriott. Maddie, his younger sibling, was born in 1995. She, unlike her brother, has made public appearances. She was seen with her father on March 10, 2020, at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London, England. They were in town for the TRIC Awards 2020. Ainsley donned a grey suit, while his daughter wore a blue dress. They both seemed to be having a great time as they posed for the photo.
