Slim and sultry brunette singer/songwriter Keren Jane Woodward was born on April 2, 1961 in Bristol, England. Woodward first met fellow musician Sarah Dallin at age five while attending St. George's School for Girls. A classically trained musician, Keren briefly worked for the BBC prior to forming the all-girl pop group Bananarama with Woodward and Siobhan Fahey in 1979. Bananarama enjoyed a steady succession of hit songs throughout the 80s that include "I Heard a Rumour," "Love in the First Degree," "Cruel Summer," and "Venus." Fahey left in 1988 and was replaced by Jacquie O'Sullivan, who also eventually left the group in 1991. Woodward and Dallin continue to tour and record as a duo as Bananarama. Moreover, Keren was once involved with model David Scott Evans; the pair had a son named Thomas before splitting up. Woodward now lives in Cornwall, England with Thomas and her longtime partner Andrew Ridgeley, whom she first met in the mid 80s. Hide
