How many children does Bernie Ecclestone have?

Bernie is known for his many billions after making his money being the former boss of F1.

Deborah Ecclestone

Bernie's eldest daughter Deborah was born in 1955 when he was married to her mother Ivy.

However, unlike her sisters she shuns the spotlight, so nothing is known about her life.

There isn't even a picture of her online, as she is so notoriously private.

She does have children, but how many is unknown - her children also have kids, making Bernie a great-grandfather.

Tamara Ecclestone

Tamara is Bernie Ecclestone's second daughter and his first with second wife Slavica.

Born in Milan in 1984 she fronted Sky Sports Italia's coverage of the 2009 formula 1 season and has also starred in her own reality series Tamara Ecclestone: Billion $$$ Girl on Channel 5.

Her first TV appearance was in 2006 aged just 22 when she presented the Red Bull Air Race World Championship for Channel 4.

She also posed for Playboy in May 2013.

Tamara married Essex businessman Jay Rutland in 2013.

The couple have one daughter, Sophia and live in a £45million house in Kensington, London.

Petra Ecclestone

Petra is the third of Bernie's three daughters .

She was born in London in 1988 and fell seriously ill when she contracted viral meningitis at the age of 14.

Petra said that the experience changed her life saying:  "I no longer take my health for granted ... I’m now a health freak and a hypochondriac. I’m obsessed with cleanliness, I eat healthily and take my vitamins."

She had a brief foray into menswear design in 2009 but her label was liquidated 14 months later.

Petra married James Stunt in August 2011 at a lavish ceremony near Rome costing £12million, and they have three children.

However, the couple finalised a £5.5bn divorce in October 2017, with Bernie telling of his relief after the conclusion of court proceedings.

On April 5, 2020 Petra revealed she had given birth to her first child with boyfriend Sam Palmer.

When did Bernie Ecclestone have his fourth child?

In April 2020 it was revealed that Bernie was set to become a dad for the fourth time at the grand old age of 89 with wife Fabiana Flosi.

Then in July 2020 it was revealed that the couple have welcomed a baby boy.

They have aptly named their son Ace.
