Vivienne Westwood's husband, Andreas Kronthaler, is a native of Austria

Born on January 26, 1966, the Tyrol, Austria native, Andreas Kronthaler is a design partner and a creative director.

Vivienne first crossed paths with Andreas in 1988 when she began teaching at the Vienna School of Applied Art. Five years after their initial meeting, the duo got married in 1993 even though they had 25-year age gap between them.

While speaking with the Evening Standard in 2019, Kronthaler revealed what kept their union strong over the years. He said:

"Don't expect anything from your other side, from your partner, your wife or husband. Because then you're both free to be."

He added that there was "total freedom" and security in their relationship as husband and wife. He added that Vivienne didn't ask him where he went when he went out and that she wasn't interested in that kind of control.

Andreas noted that it might have been because she knew that he would come home and end up beside her. He said that he might have also given her the security that he would do so, and continued:

"You know, it's always a giving and taking, taking and giving."

The duo have made several public appearances together. In April 2021, Vivienne Westwood and Andreas Kronthaler were spotted on a lunch date in Mayfair where the former donned a "True Punk" facemask.

However, this was not the first time Vivienne got married. She was earlier married to Derek Westwood from 1962 to 1965. The former couple shared a son, Ben Westwood, who is a photographer of er*tica.

Vivienne has another son with Malcolm McLaren, Joseph Corre, who owns the lingerie brand Agent Provocateur.
