Which actress did actor Hugh Dancy marry in 2009?

The story behind the answer

Hugh Dancy married actress Claire Danes in 2009.

Dancy and Danes married in France in 2009. Dancy is an English actor known for television and film roles including Will Graham in Hannibal, while Danes is an American actress recognized for My So-Called Life, Homeland and several major films.

The pair met on the set of the 2007 film Evening, in which both appeared. They began dating after working together and became engaged in February 2009. Their wedding was a private ceremony, and reliable accounts commonly identify the year as 2009 rather than emphasizing a specific public venue.

They have two sons, Cyrus and Rowan. Dancy and Danes later appeared together in the television series Homeland, although their marriage predates Dancy’s role in the show. This couple is sometimes mixed up with other married performers who met while filming, but their connection began specifically during Evening.
