Early life
The model was born Daphne Diana Joan Susanna Guinness on 9 November 1967 (age 54 as of 2021) in London, England. She is the daughter of Jonathan Guinness, 3rd Baron Moyne (father) and Suzanne Lisney (mother). Joan has seven siblings, one immediate brother and six step-siblings. Unfortunately, her mother passed away in 2007 from lung cancer.
Her brother’s name is Sebastian Walter Denis, born in 1964. Other Daphne Guinness' siblings are Catherine Ingrid, Jasper Jonathan Richard, Valentine Guy Bryan, Diana, Aster, and Thomas. Catherine, Jasper, and Valentine are Jonathan’s children through his first marriage to Ingrid Wyndham.
Diana, Aster, and Thomas are Jonathan’s children through his relationship with mistress Susan Taylor. Joan grew up in the country houses owned by her family in England and Ireland. She attended St Mary's, an independent day and boarding girls' school located in Wantage, Oxfordshire, England.
The school later became Heathfield St Mary's School. After leaving high school, Joan was planning to study music. However, she did not fulfil that dream and instead got married when she was 19 years old.

The model has been in marriage once, got divorced, and found a romantic partner. She married Spyros Niarchos, son of the Greek shipping magnate, Stavros, in 1987 when she was 19 years old. The two met at a skiing holiday and decided to get married almost immediately.
Spyros was 12 years her senior. Daphne Guinness' wedding got a lot of publicity in the late 1980s, forcing Daphne to disappear from public life. Daphne and Spyros stayed together in marriage for 13 years. They welcomed three children, Nicholas Niarchos (born 1989), Lex Spyros Niarchos (born 1991), and Ines Sophia Niarchos (born 1995).
In 2000, Daphne Guinness' husband decided to end the marriage. As a result, she received around $39 million from the divorce. Around 2008, Daphne had an affair with French public intellectual Bernard-Henri Lévy.
Although the two had started dating earlier (around 2005), it took them several years later, in 2010, for her to tell the world about the relationship. She then ended the extra-marital affair with Bernard-Henri because he was married by then. But in 2016, the two rekindled the relationship.

Daphne Guinness started her professional career around 1999. She first involved herself in fashion as a designer, stylist, muse, model, and fashion writer. Her initial job was working with Isabella Blow and other fashion icons, including Gareth Pugh, MAC, Karl Lagerfeld, and Philip Treacy.
