Eddie Redmayne, known for his acclaimed roles in Fantastic Beasts, The Theory of Everything, and The Danish Girl, keeps his family life mostly private. Married to Hannah Bagshawe, Eddie’s story is one of friends-turned-lovers, as the two were close friends for a decade before sparking a romance. Their first date led to an impromptu trip to Florence, and the couple later married on December 15, 2014. Together, they have two children, Iris, eight, and Luke, six.
In interviews, Eddie has shared how challenging it can be to balance his acting career with family life, especially when performing in theater. However, the lockdown brought him unexpected family time, during which he enjoyed teaching his kids, learning gardening skills, and watching his daughter’s budding interest in music.
Eddie isn’t the only well-known face in his family; his older brother, James Redmayne, was a cricket star during his Oxford University days, making his professional debut in 2000. Though James has since transitioned into the business world, now working at Searchlight Capital, his brief sports career was a proud achievement for the Redmayne family.
Eddie and Hannah’s grounded family life and close bond with James add layers to the actor’s life beyond Hollywood, revealing his dedication to both family and his craft.
