Who is Chiwetel Ejiofor's Wife and Does He Have Kids?

Chiwetel Ejiofor does not have a wife as he has never been married. The British actor born to Nigerian parents of Igbo descent also does not have kids. Since he came into the limelight, he has been romantically linked to a handful of gorgeous girlfriend, however, he is either not dating anyone or has gone to lengths to keep his love life very private.

For an actor who has received several of the most coveted accolades in the industry, including a nomination for an Academy Award, it is not difficult to see why many people are interested in keeping up with his personal life. Over the years, he has been in the news because of his romantic involvement. This has not been the case in recent times; the Dirty Pretty Things actor has been so quiet about his love life that it has left many even more curious about the special woman in his life.

Is Chiwetel Ejiofor Married?

Given the age of the famous actor and the fact he is accomplished in his career, it is quite easy to see why people think of him as a family man. Well, he is. After all, he has a family; not just one he built himself. The Nigerian-British actor has never exchanged marital vows with anyone. So he is not married and definitely does not have a wife.

While it is hard to tell if he has plans to get married in the nearest future, nothing indicates he has anything against marriage. The actor probably had other priorities at the moment or is taking his time to find the right partner. This is important as much as it is necessary given the high rate of divorce in the entertainment industry.

The fact that the actor is still single at 46 has warranted several speculations. It was once rumored that he and a romantic partner were seen shopping for an engagement ring. This happened to be false, just as the rumor that he secretly got married is unfounded.

The Actor Does Not Have Any Child

Chiwetel Ejiofor does not have kids. Although he has been with several women since he came into the spotlight, none of the relationships produced any child for the actor.

He probably hopes to become a father someday but that has not yet happened for him. One might not be wrong to conclude that Chiwetel Ejiofor has delayed getting married and being a father because of a tragic childhood experience.

When the actor was 11 years old in 1988, he lost his father Arinze Ejiofor during a family trip to Nigeria for a wedding. As the story goes, Chiwetel and his father were involved in a head-on crash with a lorry while driving to Lagos after the celebration. The accident claimed the life of his father and left him with the scar on his forehead.

Who is Chiwetel Ejiofor’s Girlfriend?

It is not certain if the actor has a girlfriend as of this writing. Since his relationship with Frances Aaternir packed up in late 2019, he hasn’t been romantically linked to anyone, at least not publicly. Because of this, it is widely believed that the famous actor is single and not dating anyone at the moment.

But then, he could be dating someone and keeping it away from the public. A narrative that supports this assumption claims that he is dating his local dog groomer, a woman named Sacha Bertagnon. As the claim goes, the BAFTA-winning actor met Sacha when he booked a session for his pet named Clay. This was at the Le Wag salon in Fulham. Bertagnon owns the salon and Chiwetel reportedly fell for her at first sight.

According to sources that claim to be close to the actor, Sacha and Chiwetel are getting along well. She seems to be his final destination as they are already talking about getting married.

Following the movie, the two were seen together in public and it started circulating that they were lovers. However, neither Chiwetel nor Lupita confirmed or denied the reports that claimed they were dating. If they truly dated, then it was a short-lived relationship that began and ended in 2012.

Is Chiwetel Ejiofor Gay?

Chiwetel Ejiofor is not gay, however, he has shown support for the LGBT+ community, leading some to speculate or assume that he might be gay. It is important to note that just because he supports the LGBT+ community doesn’t mean he’s a part of it. Moreover, his past relationships with women, such as Frances Aaternir and Sari Mercer, suggest he has had significant romantic relationships with women in the past.
