How Natalya Wright became a nepo-sibling despite swerving reality TV – with 20 trips a year & thousands in designer gear
WITH two famous siblings, Natalya Wright was always destined for a life of luxury and wouldn’t need to work too hard at her own success.
And ever since her older brother and sister, Mark and Jessica Wright, appeared on the hit reality TV show The Only Way Is Essex, Natalya lives a life we can only dream of.
In fact, Natalya even refused to be seen on the show with her once ‘ordinary’ Essex family – which propelled mum Carol, dad Mark snr and Nanny Pet to fame overnight – but she still somehow manages to soak up a lavish lifestyle.
Pretty impressive for a girl of just 23 who seems to be piggybacking off the family name.
Natalya is arguably a ‘nepo sibling’, the term used to describe someone whose successes could be down to their blood line rather than being based on their own talent alone.
Judging by her lavish lifestyle which includes dream trips to the Maldives and Mykonos, she’s certainly a girl who has learnt how to do things just ‘Wright’.
Natalya has more than 350k followers on Instagram, yet she still hasn’t set foot on TV apart from showing her brother support in the crowd when he appeared on Strictly Come Dancing.
She makes sure to be seen out with her siblings, a savvy career move to let people know the circles she runs in.
Whether it’s on the red carpet for Mark’s ambassador role for Matalan or snapping holiday shots with the whole crew, Natalya keeps herself relevant by taking control of her social media presence.
It raises the question – would she have been able to forge a career by now if it wasn’t for her famous clan?
The only way is up
While her family made their names on TOWIE, Natalya was still in primary school and kept away from the camera – and although she was asked to come on the set as she got older, she refused.
It’s ‘just not for me’ she told Ok! Magazine.
She added: “I’ve seen what it’s like when people come up to Jess all the time asking for pictures and I wouldn’t want that.
“I wouldn’t mind being famous but not for appearing on reality TV, maybe for modelling or acting.”
Despite confirming she didn’t want to follow her families path, her connections and their stardom has arguably opened doors for her.
British beauty
At the age of just 16, Natalya secured a modelling deal with top modelling agency Select Model Management, and began a career travelling the world for photo shoots.
As she got older, she embraced her love of luxury fashion, and began her own Instagram account.
Followers soon cottoned on and the number soon shot up to over 350k – meaning she was soon able to show off her impeccable style and get paid to do it.
The savvy nepo-sibling has combined her love for travel, fashion and modelling to create the ultimate lavish life.

Emma Roberts: Her aunt Julia Roberts is an acclaimed actress as is Emma thanks to Wild Child and American Horror Story.
Matt Healy: The 1975’s front man’s mum is an actress and panellist on Loose Women.
Her Instagram grid is a continuous display of her posing on the beach while she shows off her latest designer handbag.
The brunette beauty has been spotted wearing Monday swimwear while in Mallorca – where prices for the designer bikini tops cost £125 and Bottega shoes costing a whopping £700.
Natalya is often seen sporting Fendi, Chanel, YSL and Dior handbags on the crook of her arm while pairing them with independent British fashion brands such as Odd Muse.
Her bag collection alone is worth thousands of pounds, with her mini white Chanel costing £5,000 to buy secondhand, her Fendi baguette worth £1,750, and £2,420 Bottega black and gold quilted bag.
Although Natalya loves to get dressed up she also has a love for a more casual look sporting multiple colourways of the trendy Adidas Spezial trainers.
Jet setting success
The beach is never far away either and Natalya seems to travel at least once a month – her latest trip being to the Amalfi Coast.
But her jet-setting lifestyle doesn’t end there – this year alone she has headed to Mallorca, Mykonos, Naples, Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi and France.
Last year she headed to the Maldives, DisneyLand Paris and Mykonos.
The list goes on and it includes two trips to Dubai, staying in the five-star Atlantis The Royal hotel whose penthouse suites cost upwards of £9,000 a night.
The brunette beauty carries her style onto the plane too from a £2,300 Louis Vuitton suitcase to five-star private airport transfers when she reaches her destination.
Horsing about
While Natalya is usually spotted dressed to the nines, she loves nothing more then spending time in the countryside with her horses.
She now owns three, Albi, Boo and Crème who she posts on her YouTube channel which is dedicated to her equestrian career, something only her hardcore fans would know about.
“My happy place is with you,” she added on Instagram with a picture of her beloved horse.
And according to horse experts at Equine Premium the average yearly costs of owning a horse are around £9,000 – and that’s not including the cost to buy one, let alone three.
The way isn’t only Essex
While Natalya does her best to not talk about her star-studded family online, they seem to have a close bond.
She is often pictured with her mum and dad, as well as her siblings and the family go away together regularly to reconnect and have some fun.
One holiday saw the entire family rent out a private villa in Mallorca to get some quality time together away from Essex.
Not only does Natalya show off her close-knit family, but she has also started to show off her boyfriend, Tommy, more on social media.
Despite going out for almost ten years, the couple have done their best to keep their relationship away from the public eye.
She is definitely made of the Wright stuff.
