Who is Eddie Redmayne’s wife?
Hannah Bagshawe is Eddie Redmayne’s wife. They first met in 2000 when Redmayne was studying at Eton College, and Bagshawe was attending an all-girls boarding school nearby. According to People, they met when Bagshawe’s school held a charity fashion event at Eton College. In a 2016 interview with Time Out, Redmayne shared, “It's great that she found me attractive then and still does. It's also wonderful having a shared history and friends, even though we didn't get together for 15 years."
After being friends for 12 years, Redmayne and Bagshawe started dating in 2012. In a 2015 interview with Daily Mail, he shared, “I'd finished rehearsals and was about to start shooting in a few days and so I said to myself, 'I'm going to go to Florence for a quick break and write or do something like that.' Before I went, Hannah and I were on a sort of date — we'd been good friends for 12 years — and we had a wonderful evening and I suddenly said, 'You don't want to come to Florence with me next week, do you?' She said, 'That's absurd, you don't mean it.' I said, 'Yes I do!' So our first proper date was in Florence.”
In May 2014, the couple got engaged, and Bagshawe was seen with her engagement ring at the premiere of the film The Theory of Everything. A few months later, on December 15, 2014, they got married in an intimate ceremony in Somerset, England. The wedding was attended by their close friends and family. They went to the Alps for their honeymoon. They are often seen attending major events together, such as the Academy Awards, BAFTA Awards, and the Met Gala.
