Sophie Ellis-Bextor's Children Bullied Over Red Hair

Sophie Ellis-Bextor has opened up about her children's experiences with bullying due to their red hair, which they inherited from their father. The 46-year-old singer, who has five sons with husband Richard Jones, described the bullying as 'really harsh' and emphasized the strong instinct in children to blend in with their peers. On her Salon Confidential podcast, she expressed hope that through open conversations, her kids can navigate these challenges and eventually embrace their unique traits. Sophie reassured her children that as they grow older, they will learn to appreciate what makes them different. She also humorously noted that their vibrant hair color makes it easy for her to spot them in a playground. Having faced bullying herself in the past, she aims to help her children build resilience against such experiences.
