Who Are Gugu Mbatha-Raw Parents? Meet Her Father, Patrick, And Mother, Anna Mbatha

Gugu Mbatha-Raw's parents are named Patrick and Anna Mbatha, who are involved in the medical fields.

Well, her father is involved as a South African doctor, and her mom Anne Raw is a British nurse. It is found that her parents split their paths and separated when she was just only one year old.

And as a result of Gugu's parents' split, she was brought up by her mother in Witney, Oxfordshire. Though she was raised aside from her mom, that does not mean she was not close to her father.

She also maintains a close relationship with her supportive dad now. Well, regardless of her parents' separate ways, their roads do come in alignment when it comes to parenthood and when it involves their only child Gugu.

Interestingly, despite her parents being medical professionals, she was not affected by her family's professionals and headed on to a unique and unthinkable career path in the art sector.

Nonetheless, Gugu Mbatha Raw's parents have supported her in whatever she has put her heart and passion into.

Perhaps because her parents have attended to her every need and be an integral part of her life, she knows what role parents play in the children's life. So, she uses her voice to call on the UK Government to reunite child refugees with their families.
