Who Is Ella Woodward’s Husband?

In April 2016 she married Tessa Jowell’s son, Matthew Mills, who is also her business partner. The couple has one child, a daughter born in July 2019.

In 2015, Ella and her business partner, Matthew Mills, opened The MaE Deli, Seymour Place, Marylebone. In 2016 they opened their second site, The MaE Deli, Weighhouse Street, Mayfair. In early 2017, a third site was launched named The Kitchen Counter, in Herne Hill, as an extension to their development kitchen. In March 2018, after less than a year, the Herne Hill site was closed down, as was the Marylebone deli, due to debts accruing of £720,000.

After attending Rugby School, she graduated with a degree in history of art from the University of St Andrews in 2013.

Woodward writes about food in a blog she founded in 2012 named Deliciously Ella which was also the title of her first book, published in 2015. Her second book, Deliciously Ella Every Day was released in January 2016. A third book, Deliciously Ella With Friends was released in January 2017. She was an advocate of clean eating but turned against it after a media backlash that questioned its health benefits. Her clean eating series of books was called by The Guardian “arguably the most successful fad diet cookbook series in recent years”.
