Stephen Mangan wife, children and sister
Wife
Mangan has been married to actress Louise Delamere since 2007. Delamere is known for her roles in No Angels, Holby City, Judge Dredd and I’ll Be There. During her student years at drama school, she was reportedly a fellow student, friend and former flatmate of actor David Tennant.
Children
Stephen Mangan and Louise Delamere have three sons. Publicly reported names are Harry (born 2007), Frank (born 2010) and Jack (born 2016). The family lives in Primrose Hill, north London, and the couple generally keeps their children out of the public spotlight.
While the names of Mangan’s children have been reported in public records, the family largely avoids media attention regarding their personal lives, and details about the children are rarely discussed in interviews.
Anita Mangan
Anita Mangan is Stephen’s younger sister and an illustrator. The siblings have appeared together publicly, including on Celebrity Gogglebox, and have discussed their childhood and family relationship in interviews. Mangan has two younger sisters, Anita and Lisa; therefore, Anita is not his twin sister. The available reporting describes her as younger, while published biographical sources list her age as approximately one year below Stephen’s.
