Made In Chelsea star Victoria Baker-Harber has recently tied the knot with art dealer Inigo Philbrick, just two months after his release from prison. The couple’s whirlwind romance has captured headlines and their unique love story is one for the books.
Inigo Philbrick, a UK-born, US-bred art dealer, made headlines when he was found guilty of an £80 million art fraud scheme. His crimes included defrauding wealthy clients, forging documents and faking an investor. In 2020, he was arrested while Victoria was five and a half months pregnant with their daughter, Gaia. Two years later, he was sentenced to seven years in prison.
Despite the legal drama surrounding their relationship, Victoria and Inigo decided to take the plunge. They exchanged vows in a low-key ceremony without guests last Monday. The TV personality, now 36, stood by her man as he served two years of his sentence. Their daughter Gaia, now three years old, witnessed their union.
Inigo recently spoke in an interview expressing his lack of guilt about breaking the law. He attributed his crimes to overambition and greed, emphasizing that no one died as a result of his actions. “There are a lot of people who look at it and say, look, I didn't kill anyone, I didn't do anything violent in any sort of way. Beyond that, the people who are involved in my case, no one missed a meal. Nobody didn't send their children to university,” he told the Sunday Times Magazine.
“I don't think that anyone in this whole story is guilty of much more than greed and ambition. I don’t think any good business happens without ambition and I think greed is a natural human state,” he went on. Inigo’s transparency about his past will extend to Gaia, as he believes a lot can be learned from his experiences.
Victoria, who is half British and half Australian, married Inigo partly to secure an American visa. The couple plans to celebrate with family and friends in June, once Inigo’s electronic tag is removed.
