Zachary Momoh is the lucky guy who stole Lashana’s heart. Like her, Zachary is no stranger to the limelight.

The 36-year-old British actor has made waves on stage and screen. He has had standout roles in Doctor Sleep, The Nevers, and Seven Seconds.

Zachary’s career began in theater. He tackled some iconic roles like Othello in the National Theatre’s 2013 production. He was also Tom Robinson in To Kill a Mockingbird at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre.

On TV, he’s dabbled in crime dramas like Death in Paradise and fantasy series like The Nevers.

In an interview with The Italian Reve, Zachary shared his passion for acting:

"I think I’ve always wanted to perform. When I was a kid I was in a talent show doing acting and dancing and I wanted to act professionally. It was like: this is where I’m going to make money…or, even, if I don’t make any money, I’m going to do it. I was in University, about twenty years old, when I decided that I didn’t want to study marketing business anymore. Maybe nineteen.”

The couple tied the knot in a private ceremony and kept their wedding date under wraps. However, they live in west London. That’s not far from where Lashana grew up.

Born in west London, Lashana Lynch grew up in Hammersmith and Shepherd’s Bush. This is where her Jamaican upbringing helped shape her grounded and hardworking attitude.

Her career took off with Still Star-Crossed. It’s a period drama executive-produced by Shonda Rhimes. Lashana later soared to blockbuster fame as Maria Rambeau in Captain Marvel.

But, her groundbreaking role was Nomi. That’s the first Black female 007 in No Time to Die. It cemented her place in Hollywood.

Speaking to The Guardian, Lashana reflected on her working-class roots:

“You want to just keep going. I especially do, being from a working-class background. You don't wanna miss out on anything, you don't wanna let anyone down.”

This determination is evident in the roles she takes on. She has played a superhero’s best friend. She has also featured as a fearless investigator hunting the world’s deadliest assassin. And, the rest is history!

A baby on the way!

Lashana and Zachary are about to become first-time parents. The actress debuted her baby bump at The Day of the Jackal premiere in October 2024. She looked stunning in a flowing silk gown.

In an interview with Vogue, Lashana Lynch said:

“For every premiere, you want to make sure you’re putting your best self forward. Sometimes it’s easy to forget that what you come with naturally is so beautiful and deserves to be celebrated in its own right. You don’t have to put anything on you in order for you to feel stunning on a red carpet. Here, I get to just be comfy and chill. That’s kind of me all over, really.”

Despite their fame, Lashana and Zachary most likely prefer keeping their personal lives out of the spotlight. They rarely share details about their relationship. But, fans are overjoyed at the thought of the duo welcoming a little one into their family.

Lashana Lynch is a woman who knows how to keep what matters most - her love and family, sacred. Her husband, Zachary Momoh, shares her passion for storytelling. Together, they are a power couple worth celebrating.
