Colleen Rowland's nationality

The influential TV chef is a Welsh national. She is a Caerphilly native born in the same area as Welsh international football player Aaron Ramsey.

Education

Growing up in Caerphilly, Colleen attended a local high school. Some tabloids suggest that Rowland went to the University of Wales after leaving high school, where she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree. However, Instagram images of her graduation gown indicate that she may have attended Cardiff University.

After completing her undergraduate studies, she took a year to pursue her culinary art passion at the Le Cordon Bleu London Culinary School. In an interview with WalesOnline, she said,

“I did not know anything about how prestigious Le Cordon Bleu was. I went there straight out of university. I was a savoury cook, and this was all pastry. I knew nothing about pastry, so I just listened to what they said and repeated it. In French cooking, you do it the French way.”

What is Colleen Rowland's career?

Before venturing into her culinary passion, she told WalesOnline she desired to become a teacher. At the time of writing, the footballer's wife, Colleen Ramsey, is a host of her cookery series on S4C, which has run for two seasons at the time of writing.

Aaron Ramsey's wife, Colleen, has also written a cookbook, Bywyd a Bwyd/Enjoying Life Through Food, a collection of recipes to suit various palates. Speaking on her love for food, she told Nation.Cymru that,

“For me, food is life, and life is food. Food goes hand in hand with all of the happiest moments. Food is what I think about constantly and how I can create. It is not about fancy food. It is about how food makes you feel. Cooking, creating and sharing food brings me joy.”

Colleen Ramsey's bilingual cookbook was created in collaboration with photographer Glyn Rayner and was designed by Jo Hollowood. It was published in December 2022, coinciding with the launch of her cooking show.

How did Aaron Ramsey and Colleen Rowland meet?

The pair grew up in the same neighbourhood, Caerphilly. During one of her show's episodes in December 2022, the Instagram chef influencer revealed that the seeds of their love story began as they grew up in Wales.

On 8 June 2014, the couple tied the knot in a romantic fairy-tale wedding at the Caldicot Castle. Rather than accepting wedding gifts, the couple urged their guests to donate to a Parkinson's charity in the United Kingdom. In an Instagram post, Aaron Ramsey said,

“We are very blessed people, and hard to shop for, so instead of wedding gifts, we would like to offer our guests the opportunity to donate to charity. This Parkinson’s UK charity is close to our hearts and would be a great gift to us. We will have a donation box on the day of our wedding. We appreciate it. Love from Colleen & Aaron (soon to be Mr & Mrs Ramsey).”

How old are Colleen and Aaron Ramsey's children?

A year after their wedding, the Ramseys had their first child, Sonny (aged 8), who was born in November 2015. In 2017, Colleen and Aaron's twins (aged 6), Tommy and Teddy, were born.
