Who is Benjamin Kayser’s wife Andrea?
Benjamin Kayser is married to Andrea Louise Kayser, who hails from Kent, England.
Speaking of how he met his wife, Benjamin told RugbyWorld: “I basically met her in Leicester on a night out.
“Then I left her tickets for the next year at Welford Road stadium and I would get a text, you know, every time, ‘congratulations you won’ or ‘sorry you lost’, you know stuff like that.
“And then a year down the line she’s at an after-match [function] and she’s like, ‘Oh, Welford Road’s so beautiful, it’s my first time here’.
“I turned around, ‘What do you mean it’s your first time here?’ and basically she’d been giving her tickets to her flatmates for the last year, never even came to the game, does not like rugby particularly, which gives us a good balance!”
Andrea runs an antiques business, where she sells and restores a host of furniture, most notably 18th and 19th century mirrors.
She has an Instagram profile for the business: @andreakantiques
But her personal Insta account is private and she chooses to keep most of her personal details out of the public domain, so there is very little information about her or her children available.
When did Benjamin and Andrea Kayser get married?
The couple married in on July 7, 2012, but very little information about their wedding is available.
The year they married is only known because of an Instagram post from Ben on his seventh wedding anniversary in 2019.
He posted: “Still need to pinch myself that I got so lucky doing life with you @andrealkayser.
“Happy 7th anniversary mon amour. Je t aime.”
Do Benjamin and Andrea Kayser have any children?
Andrea’s personal Instagram profile reads: “Kent girl living in France, mamma of 2 strong willed beauties.”
From pictures shared on social media, you can see the couple has two daughters, but very little information about them is disclosed.
On June 14, 2023 Ben posted a picture of himself, his wife and one of his daughters along with the message: “9 years. Thank you @andrealkayser for mastering the angel making.”
One of their daughters, Alaska, was born on October 26, 2017 — this information was again taken from an Instagram post, where Ben wrote: “Bienvenue au monde Alaska notre petite merveille! [which translates to: Welcome to the world Alaska, our little marvel!]
“@andrealkayser you were just incredible, so proud of you and our perfect Little family!”
The name and age of their other daughter is not currently available.
