Claudia Winkleman marked her 54th birthday in style with a romantic date night alongside her husband, film producer Kris Thykier. The couple were spotted leaving the upscale French Mediterranean restaurant Maset in Marylebone, London, on Friday evening, looking every bit the chic and contented pair.
A Stylish Celebration in the Capital
The Traitors host cut an effortlessly chic figure for the special occasion. She opted for a sophisticated black high-collar cape coat, which she paired with sleek, figure-hugging black leggings. The ensemble showcased her slender legs, which were further accentuated by a pair of black leather knee-high boots that added inches to her frame. A striking pair of blue fingerless gloves provided a bold pop of colour to her monochrome look.
Her husband, Kris Thykier, who is rarely seen in public with the TV star, looked equally dapper. He wore a sharp black suit, a crisp white shirt, and a smart blue tie, completing the look with polished black leather brogues. In a sweet gesture, Kris was seen carrying Claudia's Gucci GG Marmont velvet shoulder bag over his arm as they left the restaurant, appearing the doting husband.
Keeping Love Out of the Spotlight
The couple, who have been married for over two decades, are known for keeping their relationship fiercely private. They first met through mutual friends in the year 2000 and tied the knot later that same year. Together, they share three children and both have successful careers within the entertainment industry, with Kris working as a film producer.
Despite their low-profile approach to their personal life, they were clearly in high spirits following their meal. Claudia flashed a broad, beaming smile for waiting photographers as the pair made their way to a taxi, with Kris still carefully holding her handbag as they climbed into the back seat together.
Birthday Celebrations with Co-Stars
The intimate dinner date came just a day after Claudia celebrated her milestone birthday with famous friends. She took to Instagram to share a snap with legendary musician Jools Holland and singer Mika, captioning the post: '54 today. Celebrating with these legends.'
The trio's meeting sparked speculation among fans, as Claudia and Mika both star on the hit Channel 4 talent show, The Piano. The show, which sees amateur pianists performing on public pianos across the UK, aired its third series last May and has been renewed for a fourth.
Meanwhile, Claudia has also returned to screens as the host of the hugely popular BBC reality series, The Traitors. The current series has been full of drama, notably with the dramatic banishment of contestant Harriet Tyce, a former barrister, after a tense confrontation with Traitor Rachel Duffy.
From a glamorous birthday dinner with her husband to celebrations with showbiz pals and a triumphant return to television, it's clear Claudia Winkleman's 54th year is off to a fabulous and busy start.
