When she was just 2-years-old, the marriage between Natascha’s parents collapsed and as a result, her Irish mother relocated the family to Brighton, and subsequently remarried to journalist and columnist Roy Greenslade.

Natascha McElhone Married, Husband, Kids
Natascha McElhone got married to Dr Martin Hirigoyen Kelly, a plastic surgeon, on 19 May 1998.
The couple lived in Fulham, West London, with their sons Theodore (born 2000) and Otis (born May 2003); their third son, Rex, was born in October 2008, five months after Kelly’s death.
Martin Kelly, 42, a celebrated plastic surgeon, had just returned from carrying out a late-night operation when he collapsed at his front door after suffering a suspected heart attack.
His wife, who was pregnant with their third child, was said to be “absolutely devastated”. The news was broken to her in Los Angeles where she was filming the TV drama Californication.
His body was found by a surgeon friend in the hall of the family’s £2.5 million house in Fulham minutes after he had returned home from Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, where he was an NHS consultant.
He was taken back to the hospital by ambulance where doctors tried in vain to resuscitate their colleague. One theory for the shocking death was that the surgeon’s heart might have been damaged by a recent viral infection.
