Meet Eloise M Patrick, she is the wife of Andy Coulson-former News Of The World editor and Downing Street’s former director of communications-she is also mother to the couple’s children. Mrs. Coulson first met Andrew Coulson in the 90’s and made it official in December of 2000, meaning they have been in wedded bliss for nearly 13 years.
But not everything has been happiness for the couple, now that her husband could be going to jail and is currently on day three of his trial of conspiracy to hack phones back in 2011; Eloise’s hubby could not only be jeopardizing his freedom but also his marriage since it has been revealed he had a secret six-year-affair with co-editor Rebekah Brooks!
Patrick’s husband allegedly began a relationship with Brooks in 1998, he became married and kept the affair until allegedly Brooks who also tied the knot in 2002 broke things off over a letter delivered in 2004, that has now surfaced to light. While working together she was editor and he was her deputy for the majority of that time. Below we can see a picture of the three of them hanging out.
Eloise’s husband and father of her two children was just 34 when he replaced Rebekah Wade as the News of the World’s editor in January 2003. He grew up in Essex and was a reporter on the Basildon Evening Echo, before moving to the Sun’s show business desk in 1988. Adept at cultivating mutually beneficial relationships with celebrities and their publicists, Coulson gained a reputation as a smooth operator and rose to assistant, then associate editor.
Described as both charming and ruthless, he joined the Sun’s sister paper as deputy editor, before rising to the top job three years later. At the helm of Britain’s biggest selling newspaper, he has presided over some of the most controversial tabloid exposés of recent years.
In April 2004, the paper carried claims by David Beckham’s former personal assistant Rebecca Loos that the pair had indulged in an extra-marital affair. The footballer dismissed the story as “ludicrous” and later he and his wife Victoria brought a libel action against the paper after an article questioned the stability of their marriage.
In 2006 the paper published a story linking the Liberal Democrat politician Mark Oaten with a male prostitute. Later scoops include allegations of drinking and drug taking by Prince Harry.
Coulson lead the paper into hot water again after it wrongly claimed that Wayne Rooney slapped his fiancée Coleen McLoughlin. in 2011 after he resigned from his job as David Cameron’s £140,000-a-year director of communications in January, he and wife Eloise set up a PR company called Elbrus Consultants.
But 2013 has to be his worst year after being accused of being at the heart of the hacking conspiracy. Not much is known about his lovely short haired wife but she might be taking some action on the following days after hearing her hubby’s accusations.
