Ray Winstone’s Wife and Children Are Also Actors — It Runs in the Family

Ray Winstone is a veteran TV and film actor who was born on February 19, 1957, in London. He has worked in films for over five decades, is best known for his “hard man” roles, and has worked with legendary filmmakers like Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg.

Winstone developed his liking for acting very early on in life. It is reported that his father used to take him to the movies every Wednesday afternoon. The veteran actor landed his first major role in a play called What A Crazy World but performed poorly in it.

He was also a fan of boxing. He joined Repton Amateur Boxing Club and went on to win 80 out of 88 bouts in the next 10 years, and he represented England on multiple occasions. The actor also had a playful personality and repeatedly pulled pranks on his friends and teachers.

One of such occasions resulted in him getting expelled from the school. Committed to his shenanigans, he jokingly auditioned and ended up landing his first major role in Alan Clarke’s play Scum. The play was considered one of the most notorious plays in history.

The veteran actor has had a long career full of plays and films. He has experimented with his artistry in multiple genres, including comedy in Daniel and Lawrence and as King Henry in Henry VIII.

Ray Winstone is married to his wife Elaine McCausland

Winstone first met his wife, Elaine McCausland, while filming for their film That Summer in 1979. While the details of their dating life and wedding are unclear, it’s reported that they tied the knot in 1979 and share a beautiful bond. They also have three children.

There is very little information about McCausland on the internet which may be a sign that the couple likes to lead a private low-key life. She does, however, accompany her husband on red carpets and events, and the two have been clicked together on numerous occasions.

Ray is a girl dad. As mentioned earlier, he and his wife are parents to three children, and all his kids are girls. His daughters are named Jaime Winstone, Lois Winstone, and Ellie Rae Winstone.

Like Ray, his daughters have also entered the entertainment industry. Lois, born on January 1, 1982, is the eldest daughter of the actor. She went to the Southgate College in London where she studied Art.

Lois has had multiple movie appearances throughout her career. Her first major acting role was on a 1997 drama Nil By Mouth alongside her father. Over the years, she has shared screen with her father in two other projects, including Last Orders in 2001 and Everything in 2004.

Lois has also appeared in two episodes in season 4 of the super-hit HBO drama Game of Thrones.

Besides acting, the actress is also in a band. Her electro-pop group is called Lois & The Love. According to the band’s Facebook page, they identify their form of music as a ‘crossbreed of synth-shot grunge and razor-sharp pop.’

Jaime Winstone is an actress and a lot of other things

When it comes to the second child of the Winstone family, the apple again didn’t fall far from the tree. Jaime is an English actress and the middle child of Ray and his longtime wife. She was born on May 6, 1985, in Camden, London.

Jaime briefly studied drama before dropping out to pursue her career in acting. She is best known for her roles in films such as Kidulthood, Dead Set, Bullet Boy, and After Hours.

Throughout her career, the middle-born Winstone has appeared in several TV series like Mad Dogs, The Masked Singer, and East Enders. She also starred in Babs, the BBC biopic of Barbara Windsor.

The actress is also a backing vocalist in her sister’s band. Besides acting and singing, Jaime is also a model and has modeled for British fashion designer Vivienne Westwood in 2008.

She is now in a loving relationship with James Suckling. The duo got engaged in 2022 and married in a lavish ceremony at La Tonnara di Scopello in October 2023. They also have a son, Raymond, who was born in February 2016.
