After the divorce, Eileen moved back to England with her three children and lived in relative poverty. She supported her family working as a catering assistant and took on various jobs to provide for her kids.

Andrew worked moving heavy boxes in the fish market, and Tristan collected leftover pieces of chicken from KFC for meals. These hardships shaped their outlook and future success.

What Does Eileen Tate Do For a Living?

Andrew and Tristan have discussed their mother in podcasts and interviews. Andrew said, “A single mother raised me in England. I wouldn’t call my mother particularly nice or soft. My mother was mean and hard.”

He also mentioned, “I usually saw my dad about once a year when he would visit, and I remember one time they had a massive argument.”

Eileen worked for years as a catering assistant and has since retired. Her ex-husband, Emory Tate, passed away during a chess tournament in October 2015. Eileen continues to live in Luton, UK, as of 2025, supported by her sons’ financial success.

Andrew has publicly shared that when he started making money, he retired his mother, paying her more than she earned so she could stay home. He said, “When I started making money, I retired my mother. I called her up and said, look, because she was still a dinner lady washing dishes, I said f that off. Quit. I’ll triple your money. You stay home.”

He reflects, “Isn’t that as old as human time—where the sons make money to look after the parents? Isn’t that the way it’s supposed to be?”

Eileen’s sons, Andrew and Tristan, were arrested in December 2022 by Romanian authorities. Eileen was reportedly upset, stating, “Didn’t raise them like that.“
