As TV legend Phillip Schofield turns 60, we’re taking a look a closer look inside the lives of his two daughters, Molly, 29 and Ruby, 26.
Phil shares his two girls with his wife Stephanie and they all grew up in the same household with their TV dad in the limelight.
When Phillip came out as gay back in 2020, he shared how supportive his girls were as the family navigated its way through the tricky time of change.
And these days, the two ladies are making it on their own. Let’s have a look at what they’re up to…

Phillip has a super sweet relationship with both of his girls and often gushes about them.
In February 2020, the TV presenter announced the news that he was gay to ITV viewers while presenting This Morning and also with a social media post that highlighted his daughters’ importance.
He told his 2.7million followers in a heartfelt post: “You never know what’s going on in someone’s seemingly perfect life, what issues they are struggling with, or the state of their wellbeing – and so you won’t know what has been consuming me for the last few years. With the strength and support of my wife and my daughters, I have been coming to terms with the fact that I am gay.”

Talking about his decision to become open about his sexuality and his daughters’ reactions to the big life change, Phillip said: “This is something that has caused many heart-breaking conversations at home.
“I have been married to Steph for nearly 27 years, and we have two beautiful grown-up daughters, Molly and Ruby. My family have held me so close: they have tried to cheer me up, to smother me with kindness and love, despite their own confusion.”
“My girls have been astonishing in their love, hugs and encouraging words of comfort.”
Career girls
Eldest daughter Molly actually works with her famous dad Phil as an assistant talent manager at management company YMU, which was previously known as the James Grant agency.
YMU works with many showbiz faces, including Phil, Alex Jones, Amanda Holden, Ant and Dec, Keith Lemon, Holly Willoughby and Rochelle Humes who are all represented by the company.
In a chat with HELLO!, Phillip previously opened up about how Molly helps to manage him.
He said: “I don’t post anything without their say-so. I check with them, is this okay? But they’re fine with it. My eldest daughter is my manager so she’s well across it all.”
His youngest daughter Ruby is a psychology graduate from Leeds Beckett University where she achieved top marks all around, leaving her dad incredibly proud.
Her current profession is currently unknown, however, she previously completed an internship at ITV and has been involved with charity work.
Ruby was a previous volunteer at The Chiltern Centre, a charity for disabled children, and she also once raised around £15,000 for Teenage Cancer Trust by trekking Machu Picchu.

Phillip revealed last year on This Morning that Molly is Loose Women star Stacey Solomon’s talent agent.
During Stacey’s pregnancy with baby Rose, the This Morning host discussed the star’s potential baby names on the programme.
Phil said: “My Molly looks after Stacey, and we knew she had the baby, so we were keeping all that quiet.”
“She [Molly] said, ‘I think she might be going for a flower name,” he added.
Love life
Oldest sibling Molly is in a long-term relationship with boyfriend Will Grieveson, and the loved-up pair regularly share sweet snaps together on Instagram of date nights and lavish holidays.
Meanwhile, Ruby is loved up and in a long-term relationship with her boyfriend Will Proctor, who also regularly features in Ruby’s family snaps.
Both girls have fully integrated their lads into their family life and can often all be seen together in smiley social media snaps including dad Phil and mum Stephanie.
Bikini babes
The two blonde bombshells also have very active social lives, along with having great futures lined up and happy love lives.
From a quick social media scroll on their profiles, it’s clear to see the girls have tonnes of friends and are always planning their next adventure.
The pair particular love going on girls’ holidays away and are often pictured bikini-clad with glowing tans as they soak up the rays on holidays abroad with pals.
If they were ever to be single, we have no doubt they would be snapped up for the next series of Love Island and both turn into overnight TV sensations.
They have impressive followings of their own, despite not trying to become public figures, with Molly having 68,000 on Instagram and Ruby having 83,000.
Happy Birthday, Phillip!
