Benedict Cumberbatch and his wife

After 2010, thanks to the main role in the series "Sherlock", Benedict Cumberbatch became known as a terrific actor not only in the vastness of his native Britain, but throughout the world. Now Hollywood greeted him with open arms. It would seem that behind such a rapidly developing career, secular events and prestigious time awards for personal life did not remain. But unfortunately, millions of fans, his heart turned out to be busy.

The Marital Status of Benedict Cumberbatch

The public learned about the upcoming wedding quite unusual. The news of the engagement of an actor with a lover according to the old British tradition was published in The Times. A little later it became known that the future wife of Benedict Cumberbatch, Sophie Hunter, is pregnant. But even after this news, many doubted that the wedding would take place. After all, most star couples for years remain in the status of bride and groom. And even after the birth of children can register a marriage after several years. But, to everyone's surprise, the actor found time to plan a wedding in his busy schedule.

The ceremony was a secret and organized in the best British traditions. The venue was chosen by the Isle of Wight, where the church of Saints Peter and Paul of the 12th century is located. It was in it that the ceremony of the wedding took place. But the main celebration took place at the estate of Montichstone, which is almost a thousand years old.

The invited guests were no more than 40 people, among whom the next of kin and friends are newlyweds. By the way, it is worth noting that the date was chosen Valentine's Day (14.02.2015). Everything was at the highest level: unusually beautiful, romantic, adhering to the ancient aristocratic traditions.

On the second day the groom invited everyone to dinner in a local pub, which is not less than 600 years old. Without pathos, superfluous eyes and inappropriate PR - quietly, orderly, noble! Only the only tradition was broken - the honeymoon did not take place. The lovers soon had to fly to Los Angeles to prepare for the Oscars.

Why did Benedict Cumberbatch marry Sophie Hunter?

When it became known who married Benedict Cumberbatch, many asked the question: "What is special about it?". And absolutely not in vain! Our main character has a very uneasy character. He is not interested in young models, he honors the family charter and is extremely demanding of his chosen one. Therefore, the companion must be unusually intelligent, interesting, patient, caring and very loving. It seems that Sophie has all these qualities. Looking at her, you can safely say that she completely controls the situation.

Sophie, as well as Benedict, is an actress. At one time she graduated from Oxford, shot in several successful television series. Later became interested in directing and music. Now she is engaged in the production of operas in the UK and the US, she released her music album in French, which she recorded with musician Robbie Williams. Hunter is a very versatile and interesting person, so it is not surprising that she became the wife of Cumberbatch.

The first-born of the star couple was born four months after the wedding. For a long time, Benedict Cumberbatch and his wife did not show the child and avoided the journalists. The first photos of Christopher, and so called the baby, appeared on the network only in April this year. They were quite quietly walking in one of the districts of New York without trying to hide the baby in the stroller.
