The Gilded Age: Meet the star's famous partners

Carrie Coon wed actor, playwright, and screenwriter Tracy Letts in 2013, and together they share two children. The couple met during a 2010 theatre production of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and had an unconventional wedding to say the least. 

Their nuptials took place at a hospital after Tracy was rushed in for emergency gallbladder surgery. With their marriage license set to expire, the duo decided to say 'I do' and avoid re-registering. 

"I have a healthy, happy marriage. When I was younger, let's say I didn't always conduct myself with integrity in my relationships. Now I've found a partner who I can be truly honest with, I never want to go back," Carrie told The Guardian in 2021. 

Like his wife, Tracy has established an impressive career with acting credits in The Big Short (2015), Lady Bird (2017), Ford v. Ferrari (2019) and Little Women (2019). As a playwright, he is also known for penning August: Osage County, which won a Pulitzer Prize and was later adapted into an Oscar-nominated film starring Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts.

Morgan Spector first crossed paths with BAFTA-winning actress, Rebecca Hall, in 2014 after co-starring in the Broadway play, Machinal. They were married a year later and have since welcomed their daughter Ida in 2018. 

Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008), The Town (2010), Transcendence (2014) and The Night House (2020) are among Rebecca's extensive filmography. Most recently, she reprised her role as Ilene Andrews in Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, which as of 2024 holds the record for the highest-grossing Godzilla film of all time.

"We live in the countryside away from everything, a very rural situation," the actress said of her home life with Morgan. 

Blake Ritson is engaged to a fellow period drama star – Hattie Morahan, aka Elinor Dashwood in the BBC's 2008 adaptation of Sense and Sensibility. The two met while studying at Cambridge University and are parents to Amity, born in 2016, and a son, born in 2020. 

Patrick Page – aka Richard Clay – has been married to TV personality Paige Davis since 2001. She is best known as the host of the home improvement show, Trading Spaces (2001-2008), and its 2018 reboot. 

Patrick and Paige's love story quite literally hails from a fairytale, as they met while playing candelabra Lumiere and feather duster Babette in a national stage tour of Beauty and the Beast. In 2014, Paige explained that she and Patrick had decided not to have children after having an "eye-opening discussion at dinner a number of years ago." 

"We were talking about having a baby when I admitted I'd only be doing it for him. Then he said, 'Well, I was only considering it for you,'" she recalled on her blog. 

Christine Baranski fell for actor Matthew Cowles while working on a theatre production of Henrik Ibsen's Ghosts in 1982. Matthew had offered her a lift home on his motorcycle, and the "rest is history," Christine quipped to The Guardian. 

The couple had two daughters – Isabel and Lily – and were married for 30 years before Matthew's passing in May 2014. 

"I think every marriage is supremely challenging, but my late husband was enormously supportive and very proud of me, and I think we managed it quite well. He was an exceptional person," Christine said of Matthew. 

In 2018, the Gilded Age star spoke candidly of her loss. "There's no shortcut to grief. A few months after Matthew passed away I had to be back in front of a camera, but it helped to be with my community of people" she told Parade.

"The death of a loved one is not only deeply sad but also very disorienting. When you've had a 30-year marriage and sat across from this person every morning having coffee, it's so strange. Someone is there and then suddenly they're not there to talk to ever again."

Cynthia Nixon is married to education and LGBTQ rights activist Christine Marinoni. The pair first met in 2001 and started dating after the Sex and the City star divorced her ex-husband, Danny Mozes, in 2003. The couple got engaged in 2009 and waited until same-sex marriage was legalised in New York state to get hitched, eventually tying the knot in May 2012. 

Cynthia and Christine welcomed their first child together in 2011, a son named Max Ellington Nixon-Marinoni. The actress also has two children from her first marriage: Seph and Charles, who were born in 1996 and 2002, respectively. 

Since June 2024, Louisa Jacobson has been linked to producer Anna Blundell, who has worked on campaigns for Versace, Tory Burch and Vogue Spain.

Louisa, who is the daughter of Meryl Streep and Don Gummer, made her relationship public during Pride Month last year via an Instagram post. 

Denée Benton, who plays Peggy Scott in the drama, married fellow actor Carl Lundstedt in 2020. The couple first met while both were studying acting at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. Five years later, Carl popped the question.

Taissa Farmiga tied the knot with filmmaker Hadley Klein in August 2020. 

The couple, who worked together on the 2024 romance drama She Taught Love, tend to keep their relationship out of the spotlight and announced their wedding on social media months after their big day.
