Wildchild Tamara to be a GRANNY at 48
NEVER one to live her life in the slow lane, former ‘It girl’ Tamara Beckwith is to become a grandmother at the age of just 48.
I can reveal that her daughter Anouska is expecting her first child this summer.
‘It’s quite daunting for Tamara,’ says one of her pals. ‘I think she’s still getting used to the idea of being a grandma.’
Photographer Anouska, 31, is due to have the baby with her longterm boyfriend, Luke McSwiney, who works in trauma therapy.
She once publicly lamented the fact she was brought up by her grandparents — property magnate Peter Beckwith and his wife Paula — because Tamara was too busy partying. ‘My mother’s highmaintenance,’ said Anouska, whose father is William Gerhauser, son of former Playboy boss Bill Gerhauser.
‘She likes private planes and fast cars and I think it makes her happy. Money has never interested me; all it does is cause pain and conflict and complications.’
However, Anouska and her mother have since made up and Tamara can pass on her tips from raising her nine-year-old daughter, Violet, and four-year-old son, Vero, with her husband, Italian property heir Giorgio Veroni.
Tamara tells me: ‘Giorgio and I are beyond thrilled. Becoming grandparents will be another wonderful chapter in this journey we call life.’
