Sting’s Child Eliot Sumner: I Don’t Believe In Gender Labels

Eliot Sumner, the daughter of Sting and Trudie Styler, simply identified as a "musician" in an interview with the Evening Standard.

“I think forever I was trying to figure out maybe … what I am,” The 25-year-old, told the paper. “But I don’t think anyone should feel pressured to have any kind of label or tag on them. We should treat everybody the same. I, don’t like to be put down to a specific thing. We’re all human beings.”

Eliot is the third child of Sting and Trudie Styler’s four children, born biologically female.
She said she did not believe in gender “labels” and preferred to dress down, shunning the glamour attached to some singers.

Sumner reveals she's been in a relationship with Austrian model Lucie Von Alten for two years, and that the two share an apartment in London.

Sumner went to the private Bryanston School in Dorset before moving to London to study at the Fine Arts College sixth form in Belsize Park but never completed her studies.

Sting, has five children: two from his first marriage to Frances Tomelty and three with Trudie Styler. The couple married on August 1992 in an 11th-century chapel in Wilshire, south-west England.

“I told them there won’t be much money left because we are spending it,” the multi-instrumentalist said. “We have a lot of commitments. What comes in we spend, and there isn’t much left.

I certainly don’t want to leave them trust funds that are albatrosses round their necks. They have to work. All my kids know that and they rarely ask me for anything, which I really respect and appreciate.” he added.

Sumner is currently focused on her new album, "Information," out next month. She also says she'll be unveiled as the face of a major international fashion brand in January.
