Keeley Hawes and Matthew Macfadyen are both highly successful actors with multiple accolades under their belt. Keeley, 49, is known and adored for her roles in Bodyguard and Line of Duty – both of which earned her a nomination for the Best Actress BAFTA. 

Matthew, 50, is known for playing Mr. Darcy in the 2005 film version of Pride and Prejudice as well as Tom Wambsgans in HBO's highly-acclaimed comedy-drama, Succession, for which he was awarded at the BAFTAs, Primetime Emmys and the Golden Globes.

Despite the level of fame and accomplishment they've reached for their work, their private life is mostly kept out of the spotlight and the couple prefer to keep their family, including their children, to themselves.

Marriage to Matthew

Keeley and Matthew met on the set of the spy drama, Spooks, and married in 2004, the month before they welcomed their first child together, Maggie.

Aside from their work, the family lives a quiet life in London, but they do often make appearances together at red-carpet events, award shows and premieres. Not only that, they have also worked together on screen.

In addition to both appearing in Spooks, the couple more recently worked together on the ITV drama, Stonehouse, in which Matthew portrayed disgraced MP John Stonehouse, with Keeley portraying his wife, Barbara.

Speaking about working together on the show, Keeley told You Magazine: "Just about everything that could be changed has been; we laughed when we saw each other. It was probably most tricky for Emer Heatley [who plays John's secretary, Sheila Buckley].

"It was her first or second acting job, faced with us as a married couple, playing a married couple where she was having an affair with my husband. We had lots of those scenes together, which was really awkward, but very funny."
