Theo James and Ruth Kearney are said to have exchanged wedding vows in 2018, though the details — and the actual day — are a bit murky. The story of how they met is more straightforward. They were both drama students at the Bristol Young Vic Theatre School and got to know each other while pretending to be animals.
Amphibians, to be more exact. “Being frogs. We did all that animal s**t,” he told the Evening Standard in 2020. The relationship blossomed, with James falling for Kearney’s strong personality. “She’s very sanguine, thoughtful and funny,” he said. “It made sense pretty early on.” Regardless of their marital status, James and Kearney share two children. Keeping true to their style, they kept the pregnancy to themselves — and presumably their loved ones.
In August 2021, the couple welcomed a daughter, E! News reported citing an unnamed source. They were more successful in keeping the birth of their second child a secret until James divulged it on his own terms several months later. “We have a 4-month-old. We’re in the thick of it,” he said at the Emmys in January 2024 (via Us Weekly), suggesting his son was born around September 2023. But they haven’t disclosed any information regarding their children, including their names.
