Meet Nathalie Emmanuel’s family
Nathalie Emmanuel was born into a family of mixed heritage. In a July 2011 tweet, she was open about her heritage, stating that she was “1/2 Dominican, 1/4 Spanish, 1/4 Irish… My dad 1/2 St. Lucian 1/2 English”. The actress was born in 1989 in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, England.
The GOT actress also touched on her parents’ heritage in an interview with Byrdie. She shared that her family is “St. Lucian and Dominican—not to be confused with the Dominican Republic.” She added, “My mom is half Dominican, my dad is half St. Lucian, and both of my grandparents came to the U.K.”
When talking about how her family taught her to accept her natural hair as a child, Nathalie said she was “lucky in that respect because both my parents are mixed, and they didn’t have to learn how to control or deal with my hair.”
“I’m so grateful that my mom taught me how to do what she did with her hair,” she continued.
However, she admitted that accepting her hair “was a challenge,” especially because she attended a predominantly white school as a child, where few other families looked like hers. When she wore her hair down to school, she was even warned that it was a “health and hygiene issue.”
“But at home it was a different story,” she says. “My mom had big curly hair too, and I always felt empowered to love my hair.”
Who is Nathalie Emmanuel Mum?
On October 6, Nathalie Emmanuel wished her mom Debbie a happy birthday via IG post, “Today is #MamaDebs 60th birthday… The Queen of my heart… 🥺🥺🥺🥲🥲🥲 Happy Birthday… There are not enough words to describe how special this woman is. A warrior, a protector and a total goddess. And I get to have you as my mom. I love you SO much ✨✨✨✨ #Debsturns60 #Happy60thBirthdayMamaDebs“”
Debbie turns 60 in October 2022.
On Mother’s Day 2021, Nathalie wished her mother, “Happy Mother’s Day to Mama Debs and all the amazing moms out there. I can’t talk about this woman right now without crying because I miss her so much. This was at the Super Bowl last year before the world shut down. Can’t wait to strangle her when it’s safe.”
Debbie has been very supportive of her daughter’s career from the start. In fact, in 2022, the actress invited her mother to the set of Invitation.
Nathalie recounts Collider, “What was interesting was that the day we shot that scene or when most of that performance took place, my mom came to visit me on set, and the door that I was banging on, trying to get out, my mom was actually set up in a… a little monitor and headphones to monitor, and she was on the other side of that door, and it was amazing how helpful that was.”
Natalie concluded: “Usually, having your loved ones on set isn’t necessarily… not always conducive to a good performance because it takes you out of the character that you’re portraying. But there was something about being like, ‘I need to get on the other side of this door and get to my mom.’ They had the door locked, they had someone behind it, and almost just using ‘I need to get to the person that I love or get out of here and get to that person,’ was really helpful. I remember just feeling miserable, completely miserable and panicked, and scared. That day we did it. My mom was actually on the other side of it, and I was a little bit like, ‘Mom, are you okay?’ afterwards. She was like, ‘Yeah, I don’t like that.’ Didn’t like me screaming like that.”
Who is Nathalie Emmanuel’s father?
Nathalie Emmanuel has shared a lot about her father online but sources reveal that her father’s name is Matthew Emmanuel. The only time she has mentioned her father is in her Father’s Day posts. Just like Father’s Day 2021, Nathalie posted a series of tweets dedicated to all the fathers around the world.
The actress began the series with her first tweet, “Happy Father’s Day everyone. Thank you to all the loving and supportive dads!! Thank you to those who father children who are not yours, Thank you to those who serve as father figures and mentors to those who don’t have fathers…”
In a follow-up tweet, she wrote, “To all of you who have the heart of a father but haven’t been able to be one… I send you love today. To all of the fathers who have lost their children/children… I send you love today.”
Another tweet in the same series read, “To those who don’t have fathers because they’re dead… I send you love. To those who don’t have fathers, who are absent, toxic, or alienated… I send you love. To all the single moms out there… be proud of your badass selves.”
Nathalie ended the thread with: “To all the fathers fighting for access… we see you and send you love today!”
How many siblings does Nathalie Emmanuel have?

Like, on July 4, 2022, on Louise’s birthday, Nathalie congratulated her sister, “Happy birthday to the best sister a girl could ever wish for… Celebrating you is the easiest thing in the world for me. I LOVE YOU! My first best friend and fellow gladiator 🤣🤣🤣… Did you read?
