Aimee Lou Wood Family members |
Parents
Teddy Wood Sr. (father)
Teddy Sr.,worked at a car dealership but was also known for his turbulent lifestyle. Aimee has been open about his struggles with addiction, sharing how he would vanish for days or, in one instance, for 10 weeks after attending the World Cup in Korea.
However, there’s a positive turn to the story. After many years of battling his issues, her father is now fully sober, and their relationship has improved dramatically.
Alison Wood (nee Daly)
Alison works for ChildLine and has always been the reliable anchor of the family. Following her divorce from Ted when Aimee was still in school, Alison carried a heavy burden. It was Alison’s new partner who funded Aimee’s education at a private school, where Aimee discovered her passion for acting while enduring bullying due to her thick Stockport accent and “Bugs Bunny” teeth.
Thankfully, Aimee overcame this childhood trauma with the help of therapy.
Siblings
Emily Wood (younger sister)
- Date of birth: May 12, 1996 (28 years)
- Zodiac sign: Taurus
Emily is a makeup artist who has built her own successful career. Despite growing up in a home with its fair share of chaos, Emily has been Aimee’s constant support. The two often joke about their shared disdain for sports, especially when their mother forced them to attend kickboxing classes. Aimee ended up breaking her ankle during one session, but hilariously thought it was a Christmas miracle when her ankle healed on Christmas Day—though the rest of the family wasn’t exactly amused. Emily has also been open about her own health challenges, including undergoing spinal fusion surgery at 13 to treat scoliosis, leaving her with a scar that symbolizes her strength and resilience.
Teddy Wood Jr. (half-brother)
Aimee also has a younger half-brother, Teddy Wood Jr., from her father’s side. Teddy, who is still in school, shares a strong bond with his two older sisters.
