Made In Chelsea: Who Is Rosie Fortescue?

Rosie Fortescue is one of the Made In Chelsea originals and despite leaving the show in 2014 we'll always have a soft spot in our hearts for her, so it was incredibly exciting for her small screen return in Beyond Chelsea earlier this month.

Beyond Chelsea followed OG (ish) trio Rosie, Binky Felstead and Lucy Watson 'as they navigate new challenges and major milestones, from starting families to building businesses'.

Rosie first appeared on Made in Chelsea when it first launched in 2011 - yep, we’ve been watching the show for that long - and eventually left the show after three years to focus on other projects.

But how much do you really know about Rosie Fortescue? Besides the fact that she’s BFFs with Binky Felstead, Millie Mackintosh and Louise Thompson, and can be relied upon to fill those awkward silences with whatever’s on her mind that is. Here's everything you need to know...

How old is Rosie Fortescue?

She’s currently 34 years old. Her date of birth is 3 January 1990, making her a Capricorn.

Where did Rosie Fortescue go to school?

Rosie went to Downe House Boarding School. The very same girls’ school that Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge went to. After that she headed off to Goldsmiths, University of London to do a History of Art degree which seems rather fitting, don't you think?

Does Rosie Fortescue have a twin sister?

Why yes she does. Her name is Lily and no, they’re not identical.

Lily Fortescue, who is not part of the Made in Chelsea cast, has founded a dating app called Ciao, which focuses on location-based dating. Instead of matching you with a whole bunch of virtual singles within a few miles' radius, it should pair you up with people in the same bar or venue, meaning you're far more likely to approach them IRL. Plus, it puts safety at the forefront of the experience, which is always a plus.

Does Rosie Fortescue have children?

In the second episode of Beyond Children, Rosie opened up about the fact that she's currently undergoing the egg-freezing process and is keen to become a mother herself one day.

Until then, Rosie absolutely dotes on her twin sister Lily's two children - currently aged four and two - who she welcomed with husband John Williams.

Who is Rosie Fortescue dating?

Rosie's most famous scene on Made in Chelsea was obviously the moment that Millie Mackintosh accused Rosie of kissing her then boyfriend Hugo Taylor - which Rosie has since claimed never actually happened.

Since that iconic dinner party however, we haven't seen or heard much about Rosie's dating life. Thanks to Beyond Chelsea we have learnt that she is currently single, but seemingly has lots of people interested. Of course!

What is Rosie Fortescue doing now?

Following her career as an OG reality star (and as a result an OG influencer) Rosie founded her own jewellery line called, you guessed it, Rosie Fortescue, which prides itself on being chic and affordable. The company recently celebrated its nine-year anniversary, and Rosie shared a post on Instagram to highlight the occasion.

More recently, Rosie - who seemingly can't be busy enough - has started a second business with her twin sister Lily called Bag-d. They've created bag inserts to help protect your designer bags from spillages and dirt.

What is Rosie Fortescue's net worth?

Oh hello, nosey. It's estimated to be £1.1 million. Pretty impressive stuff!

Does Rosie Fortescue have Instagram?

She goes by @rosiefortescue on Instagram which is helpful! Expect lots of really cool, very beautiful shots of her street style stuff, all dressed up for fancy events and just generally being Rosie Fortescue. But she also likes to throw a foodie shot into the mix every now and again. Mac and cheese has popped up more than once.

Who is Rosie Fortescue still friends with from Made in Chelsea?

Despite their on-screen bust-up, in 2018 when Millie Mackintosh tied the knot with Hugo Taylor, Rosie was by her side as a bridesmaid and the pair are seemingly still close friends.

Beyond Chelsea also confirmed that Rosie is still pals with Binky and regularly hangs out with the star and her three children: India, Wolfie and Wilder.

Are Rosie Fortescue and Kim Kardashian friends?

There are two names you probably never expected to find side-by-side, but here we are. Two reality TV world collide. What's the occasion? Well, funnily enough, Rosie sat to interview Kim Kardashian about the Kardashian collaboration with Lipsy back in 2014. You can watch what went down below:
