Who Is Claudia Schiffer's Husband? Meet Film Producer Matthew Vaughn

Claudia Schiffer knew exactly what she was doing when she walked down the aisle in May 2002 and married the man of her dreams, Matthew Vaughn. Since that day, the producer and the German model have been accomplishing their goals with each other by their side and they wouldn’t want to have it any other way.

“I’d never found anyone that perfect and I just thought, oh, there’s no perfect man out there. Then I met him,” Claudia gushed about her hubby during a previous interview with The Guardian. “He had everything I wanted in a man. He completely swept me off my feet.”

Matthew knows his wife so well. When he proposed to her, the film producer bought her a tortoise instead of an engagement ring, which Claudia absolutely loved. “We are so similar in many ways. We got on like a house on fire from the minute we met. It was really natural,” she said.

The fashionista and Matthew share their two daughters, Clementine and Cosima, and their only son, Caspar. Before they welcomed Caspar, their oldest child, in January 2003, Claudia told her hubby she was going to change her lifestyle for her family. “I used to work every single day and travel around the world. I worked weekends and I never took one second off,” she previously told Vogue. “When I met my husband I said, ‘You know what, this is important. I’m not going to work weekends any more’ — and when I had kids, I became even more careful.”

Like Claudia, Matthew has been trying his best to balance his family and work life. As a well-known director in Hollywood, he’s been producing great films like 2010’s Kick-Ass and 2014’s Kingman: The Secret Service. But when he’s not on the set of his next big movie, you can find him hanging out with Claudia and their children at their beautiful England home.

Claudia’s beloved didn’t know who his father was until the 1980s

When Matthew was born in Paddington, London, in March 1971, his mother, Kathy Ceaton — who is now deceased — told him his father was actor Robert Vaughn. It wasn’t until the early ’80s that the X-Men: First Class writer got a paternity test and learned that wasn’t the case.

After asking his mom who his dad was, Kathy revealed he was an English aristocrat named George Albert Harley de Vere Drummond, who is the godson of King George VI. However, Matthew never changed his name. He kept the surname that Robert gave him many years ago.

Matthew wowed Claudia on their first date

“It really was love at first sight,” the fashion designer told The Guardian about Matthew taking her out to dinner. “And I’ve never had that before, because, you know, when you’re well-known, people want to go on dates with you, and the people who come forward are generally the wrong men.”

Matthew and Claudia knew they wanted to have kids right away

The Layer Cake producer and the fashionista loved being around each other so much that they didn’t waste any time in having kids. “It was instant and natural, as if it was meant to be. And I thought, ‘I have the right man, I’m going to have kids right away, let’s not waste time.’ We loved the first experience so much we said, ‘OK, as soon as possible, let’s start again,” she said.

These two were meant to be!
