Wikipedia Biography / Profile Background

Introduction :

Francesca Cumani is a British-Italian horse racing expert, presenter, and commentator based jointly in the United Kingdom and Australia.
Besides being famous in her own right, Francesca was married to the famous Australian Polo player, Mark Archibald. She is the daughter of a legendary Italian horse breeder, Luca Cumani. Even Francesca’s mother used to ride out every morning.

Personal Life, Parents and Family Details :

Francesca Cumani was born in 1983 to parents Luca (father) and Sara Doon Cumani (mother), in Newmarket, Suffolk, UK.
She has one elder sibling, her brother Matt, who is also into horse racing. The two even did pony club together.
Francesca was married to Rob Archibald, a professional polo player. Rob is often regarded as one of Australia’s most accomplished players. After marriage, Francesca continued to split her time between Australia and the UK.
The couple got married in 2014 and went on to have a young son, Harry, who was born in April 2016.
The family purchased a luxurious 291 square meter 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms penthouse worth $2.4 million in Sydney, soon after the birth of their son.
Unfortunately, after four years of marriage, Francesca and Rob headed for a divorce. The fact that they were on separate continents made the relationship difficult to work. Despite the split, the relations between the two were said to be amicable.
After her separation, Cumani dated fellow racing presenter Oli Bell for two years. The two also split up in Jan 2020.
Post Oli, Cumani started dating renowned businessman and triathlete Max Johnson, and she soon got pregnant. In June 2022, Cumani was blessed with the birth of her second child, her son, Teddy.

Early Life and Education :

Francesca attended school in Surrey, UK.
Although she was raised mostly in the UK, she spent a lot of her childhood travelling with her Dad Luca’s work as a thoroughbred breeder. It was this busy, very multicultural and equine-based upbringing that provided her with a love of both horses and languages.
Francesca went on to study for a degree in modern languages at Bristol University. She is now fluent in four languages because of her degree and study later in life.

Career, Income, Salary and Net Worth :

As a child, Francesca used to pester her dad to let her ride a racehorse. Eventually, when she turned 11, he relented and gave her permission.
Although keen to ride for a living at a young age, even gaining her amateur jockey license while at university, a career in competitive sport was never truly realised for Francesca.
However, her expertise soon landed her high-profile media roles in Australia with CNN as host of Winning Post, as a panellist on Channel Seven’s Melbourne Cup coverage, and as an ambassador of the Gold Coast’s Magic Millions.
In 2016, Francesca was snapped up by ITV and alongside co-host, Sky Sports alumni Ed Chamberlain, hosted the channel’s coverage of the 2016 season.
For her career, Cumani counts Terry Henderson as her mentor, who she met around 2011. Terry has extensive experience in a variety of industries, but horse racing is his true love. Terry was a terrific sounding board, provided excellent advice in many areas and also connected Francesca to her current manager, James Henderson.

Interesting Facts and Trivia :

Francesca is quite interested in the world of fashion, a hobby that goes hand in hand while travelling the Horse racing circuit, but when it comes to style, she likes to keep it simple. She likes to wear jeans, T-shirts and cashmere jumpers during the day and focuses on the quality of clothes rather than the on-trend ones.
Growing up, she was inspired by her Italian grandmother, who was quite elegant. She specially navigates her race day dress codes according to which city she is in.
She also loves to ride as frequently as possible and often describes it as relaxing & extremely calming. The adrenalin rush gives her a real sense of freedom & she believes there is nothing like it in this world.
Despite not being able to ride horses anymore because of her busy schedule, Francesca had a great time doing it between ages 18 to 28. She still however rides as often as she can.
The best advice she ever received – ‘Make a good name for yourself. Keep your name out of controversy. Don’t make compromises.’
