Jamie Oliver’s guide to a happy marriage is to tell white lies

The celebrity chef has been married to his wife Jools for 15 years and says telling white lies is important.

He said they're “absolutely essential in a long-term marriage, I can assure you.”

“I try not to do big lies, but subtle, gentle white lies are generally the key to a slightly happier life.”

The father of four celebrated his 40th birthday earlier this year in May with a surprise Star Wars themed party.
