Which actress did Benedict Cumberbatch marry in 2015?

Actor Benedict Cumberbatch married theatre and opera director Sophie Hunter in 2015.

Cumberbatch became internationally famous for roles including Sherlock Holmes in Sherlock and Alan Turing in The Imitation Game. Hunter is a director and performer whose work has included theatre and opera productions.

The couple married on February 14, 2015, at St Peter and St Paul’s Church in Mottistone on the Isle of Wight. The reception was held at Mottistone Manor, a historic estate on the island. Their wedding took place after they announced their engagement in 2014.

They have three sons. Hunter is sometimes described simply as an actress because of her performance background, but her professional identity is strongly associated with directing and theatre. This makes her distinct from Cumberbatch’s frequent film co-stars, such as Keira Knightley and Felicity Jones.
