Kristin is married to John Micklethwait, the former editor of The Economist and now editor-in-chief of Bloomberg News.
On finding love with John, the BAFTA winner recently told The Telegraph: "I think I was perfectly happy before, but not this happy. My husband is not the cure to anything [I've been through], but he is a man with whom I can talk about anything, who is inspiring and clever."

The Four Weddings and a Funeral actor also revealed an incredibly sentimental gift she received from her sister on her big day.
