  • Laureen Ann Teskey Harper (born 1963) is the wife of Stephen Harper, who is leader of the Conservative Party of Canada and Prime Minister of Canada since February 6, 2006. The eldest of three, Teskey was born in Turner Valley, a rural town south-west of Calgary, Alberta. Her parents were ranchers and owned an electrical contracting company; the Teskeys divorced in 1991, after 29 years. After graduating from Oilfields High School, she attended the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology where she studied journalism and photography. She was first married to New Zealander Neil Fenton from 1985 to 1988. Teskey joined the Reform Party of Canada in the late 1980s, and met Stephen Harper at the Reform assembly in Saskatoon in 1990. They married in 1993. Some of Harper's earliest political contemporaries, including Jim Hawkes, Preston Manning and Deborah Grey, have said that the 'intensely cerebral' Stephen Harper appreciably 'mellowed' after their marriage. Media reports have generally credited her as far more personable and friendly in front of the cameras than her husband. Teskey offers her home to the OHS as a foster home for kittens, and in her spare time enjoys riding her motorcycle. Teskey and her husband have two children, Ben (born 1996) and Rachel (born 1999). They attended Rockcliffe Park Public School, in Ottawa.
