Sofia Hunter and Benedict Cumberbatch. Who is Sophie Hunter? The Cumberbatch family has its own romantic tradition

While Jessica builds her own empire, The Honest Company, her husband Cash plays the role of a housewife - and, apparently, he is no longer going to put up with it!

Marriages of three at once famous couples found themselves in the spotlight. The first to “distinguish themselves” were Jessica Alba and Cash Warren. Rumor has it that the lovers' relationship has cracked! The reason for the discussion was the rather strange behavior of the beauty during the presentation of the cosmetic line of her company The Honest Company.

Eyewitnesses claim: “Whenever the cameras turned off, the actress grabbed the phone and argued with her husband!” According to insiders, main reason Misunderstandings between the spouses are Alba’s ill-fated “brainchild,” they say, Warren is jealous of his wife’s entrepreneurial spirit and takes out his anger on her.

Of course, Cash can be understood: what kind of man would like to constantly babysit children while his missus goes on business lunches?

The couple’s friends are also concerned about the situation: “The relationship between Jessica and Cash is now very strained. They were once crazy about each other, but now everything has changed."

I wonder if Alba will be able to find time between trips to court (the beauty’s company was recently accused of selling “poisonous” creams) and patch up her love boat?

Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter

Grazia is in no hurry to sympathize with “single mother” Sophie Hunter and is still crying into her pillow because she did not beat her to the heart of Benedict Cumberbatch

Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter also began to have relationship problems. The reason for this was the resounding success of the handsome man, who is only gaining momentum.

Informants told the press: “Sophie did not expect that her lover’s popularity would reach such limits and feels like a single mother, raising her three-month-old son Christopher, while Benedict disappears at another rehearsal. Instead of calmly drinking tea on the terrace with her husband and baby, the poor thing is forced to fight off crowds of annoying fans jumping out of all the bushes and call her wife with the question: “When will you return home?” “Even if Benedict is at home, Sophie does not feel his presence: he is always in the clouds. She is trying her best to reach her husband and return him to the family,” a source close to the celebrities told Grazia.

On the one hand, Mrs. Cumberbatch's position is by no means an enviable one. But on the other hand, she knew perfectly well what she was getting into. And even if Sophie stops tolerating her eternally absent husband, her place will be immediately taken - after all, Benedict has a huge army of fans!

John Travolta and Kelly Preston

Doug Gotterba caught his luck by the tail by joining intimate relationship with John Travolta. Whether this is true or not, we will never know: an enterprising man received $1 million for silence!

Discord also occurred in the family of John Travolta and Kelly Preston. Rumors that the couple are separating have been appearing for several years in a row. However, the actor was recently spotted without wedding ring!

“Both are unhappily married and live separately, and appear in public together only for the sake of image. By the way, they are already preparing documents for divorce,” said an informed source. According to rumors, the actor’s homosexuality is to blame!

Rumor has it that the last straw for Kelly was the bribe to Travolta's lawyers for silence ($1 million!). The fact is that a certain Doug Gotterba accused John of harassment and threatened to publish a revealing book about his adventures “on another front.”

He is a regular on gossip columns and various kinds of reviews. IN lately he is often called an “intellectual sex symbol,” and he regularly ironizes about this. His frequent life- under the gun of cameras, which rarely manage to “catch” even a hint of details. He “hid” Her for a long time from prying eyes...

They often fooled journalists, changing their plans at the last moment, arriving alone and generally dodging the paparazzi in every possible way. However, they did not hide the engagement ring and the news of pregnancy...

She...

Sophie Irene born March 16 in London. Her father went from being an executive director at an insurance company to becoming a professional card player. And my maternal grandfather served as an aide-de-camp to Queen Elizabeth along with Prince Henry from 1981 to 1984.

She graduated from Oxford, where she studied at the Faculty of Modern foreign languages with an in-depth course in French and Italian. Then she went to Paris, where she enrolled in avant-garde theater courses and studied for two years at L"École Internationale de Théâtre Jacques Lecoq.

Her career began as an assistant to a theater director, and at the same time the girl gained experience as a second director and playwright of a puppet theater.

Another passion of hers was music. Sophie, although she considers her voice not strong enough and “outstanding,” can boast of several albums and videos (both in English and French).

She also has in stock acting experience on television and in cinema, where she met Him...

He...

Benedict Timothy Carlton was born on July 19, 1976 in London into a family of actors, so his future, in principle, was predetermined. He has older sister from mother's first marriage.

He began attending school at age 8 and immediately established himself as a promising actor. He had the opportunity to take part in many Shakespearean plays, and young Benedict made his debut in the role of Titania, Queen of the Fairies, from William Shakespeare's play "The Dream of summer night". At that time he was 12.

After school, he worked as a volunteer teacher in a Tibetan monastery for a year. And then he entered the London Academy of Musical and Dramatic Art.

By the onset of the millennium, his career was picking up speed, but his personal life remained behind the scenes so much that even his parents complained to journalists that maybe at least someone would introduce him to a decent girl - after all, they so want grandchildren! However, their indignation was not entirely justified - since 1999, the actor had been dating the actress Olivia Poulet. Their relationship was more than long (almost 12 years), but it never came to a wedding (or at least an engagement!).

Roles, filming, interviews, premieres, roles again and film sets... Among the commercial projects there were also many... avant-garde ones. And on one of these projects he met Her...

They...

They were both involved in the thriller by Susan Lucciani Tales of Burlesque(2009). At first it was just friendship between colleagues (after all, the actor was not free at that time). Sophie was a pleasure to talk to - she was smart and could carry on a conversation - which is what Benedict really wanted in girls.

The relationship with Olivia gradually faded away, and Sophie came to the fore...

Almost no one even guessed about their union: in an interview, Benedict said that now he has a lot of work and has no time for romantic adventures. What fueled the interest of the fairer sex in his person.

Sophie just didn't make any comments until...

Until an announcement appeared in the newspaper that "Mr. Benedict Cumberbatch and Miss Sophie Hunter have announced their engagement and upcoming wedding"This was confirmed by the new ring that appeared on ring finger Sophie.

Attention! The photo can be enlarged.

Future spouses Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter starred together in the British drama Burlesque Tales directed by Susan Luciani in 2009. True, love did not happen at first sight. Actors for a long time communicated with each other as colleagues and good friends, and their romance began only in 2014.

They hid their romance

Despite the fact that Benedict and Sophie did everything to avoid becoming victims of the paparazzi (they came to the restaurant separately), they were unable to escape from the gossips. The lovers were first spotted together last summer at one of the matches of the French Tennis Championship at Roland Garros. Why there? The fact is that Sophie is a real fan of France. She studied French at Oxford, studied theater at the Jacques Lecoq Theater School in Paris, and in 2005 recorded an album with the French The Isis Project, where she accompanied herself on the piano, and Sophie also has a house in Paris.

Benedict Cumberbatch's parents officially announced their engagement

“The engagement of Benedict, son of Wanda and Timothy Cumberbatch, of London, to Sophie, daughter of Catharine Hunter of Edinburgh and Charles Hunter of London, has been announced,” read page 57 of the latest November issue of The Times in the “Upcoming Weddings” section. The English tradition of announcing engagements in the newspaper is a very old one, and most British youth think of it as old-fashioned, but Benedict assured reporters that he did not consider the move to be unusual. The actor said that he would have done the same if he were not famous.

They got married on Valentine's Day

Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter got married on February 14, 2015 on the British Isle of Wight. Opposite the ancient medieval church of St. Peter and Paul, where the wedding took place, is the Mottistone estate, which once belonged to Sophie Hunter's maternal family. The wedding celebration took place on the estate. Among the few guests (about 40 people), photographers noticed actor Tom Hiddleston and Martin Freeman, Cumberbatch's partner in the series Sherlock. At the time of the wedding, the bride was already expecting a baby.

The Cumberbatch family has its own romantic tradition

Every Monday, Benedict Cumberbatch's father Timothy gives his wife a red rose as a symbol of romance and love. The actor’s friends told reporters about this, also expressing the hope that the newly-made husband and father will observe this ritual in his own family. “She's proud of my work, she's proud of me, she loves me. That’s the point, isn’t it?” - Cumberbatch confessed in an interview with People immediately after the wedding was announced in November 2014. We think that roses on Mondays will be only a small part of Benedict Cumberbatch’s expression of love for Sophie Hunter.

The creative biography of Benedict Cumberbatch began early - while still studying at the prestigious Harrow School, he first appeared on stage in the role of Joseph in a Christmas production, and the actor remembered this appearance for the rest of his life. A lot of time has passed since then, and now Cumberbatch is one of the most fashionable actors, and film critics call him a real genius.

Benedict Cumberbatch's wife Sophie

Benedict Cumberbatch, whose wife Sophie Hunter is not only an actress, but also a theater director, has long been considered one of the most eligible bachelors in England. There were serious romances in his personal life, but only his acquaintance with Sophie put an end to his bachelor life.

They met in 2009, when both were involved in the drama “Burlesque Tales,” but then this acquaintance did not foreshadow any serious changes in the personal lives of both. At that time, Cumberbatch had a serious affair with actress Olivia Pooles, whom he dated for twelve years, until 2011, and after breaking up with her, Benedict was in a relationship with designer Anna Jones for several months. In 2013, in an interview, the actor said that he was completely free - he had neither a wife nor children, and devoted all his time to work and communicating with friends. But a year later, a message appeared in The Times newspaper that he was engaged to Sophie Hunter.

They carefully hid their romance, and for the first time appeared together at one of the matches of the Roland Garros tournament. This engagement took place after a year romantic relationships, and three months later, 38-year-old British actor Benedict Cumberbatch and 36-year-old actress and theater director Sophie Hunter got married. Such haste was caused by the fact that Sophie was expecting a child, who was born in the summer of 2015.

Their wedding was surrounded by a halo of secrecy and took place at the ancient Mottistone estate on the Isle of Wight, and was organized in a purely English style.

Among the guests were only the closest friends and relatives of the newlyweds, who after the wedding ceremony were invited to the ancient castle for a gala dinner.

Sophie Hunter embodied the ideal that Cumberbatch saw in his dreams - he said that his wife should have an excellent sense of humor, be able to carry on a conversation and have good taste.

Benedict Cumberbatch's wife is also talented and educated to match her husband - she graduated from Oxford University, where she studied Italian and French languages, Jacques Lecoq's theater school in Paris, took courses at the Saratoga International Theater Institute in New York.

The debut in her creative biography was her role in the series “Great Performances”, then she starred in “Vanity Fair” and other series. Sophie also proved herself as a director, staging the opera “The Rape of Lucretia” in New York and “The Magic Flute” during a tour of Africa. In addition, Hunter wrote and directed the avant-garde play The Terrific Electric and received prestigious award Samuel Beckett.

Children of the star couple

Benedict and Sophie's first-born son Christopher got his name from a character in the television version of the play by Tom Stoppard, played by Cumberbatch. For almost six months the parents managed to hide their son from prying eyes, and the first photo of the child appeared after the paparazzi waylaid a family walking in New York's Soho.

But Sophie and Benedict decided not to stop at the birth of one child, and in March of this year their second son, Hel, was born, named after the prince. The children of Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter added to their family's worries and made them even happier.

Brief biography of Benedict Cumberbatch

He was born in a famous acting family Timothy Carlton and Wanda Ventham and early realized that his calling was the stage. However, after graduating from a prestigious school, Benedict got a job as a bartender, and then went to Tibet to one of the monasteries to teach its residents English language. Only after returning from there he entered the University of Manchester, where he studied theater, and then continued his studies at the London Academy of Musical and Dramatic Art.

Then he was firmly convinced that all his creative biography will devote himself to the theater and will never act in films, but everything happened differently. After several years of playing on the stage of famous English theaters, Cumberbatch agreed to take part in several comedy and scientific series, for which he received several awards, and after such success, the directors no longer let Benedict Cumberbatch out of their sight. The turning point in his career was the series "Sherlock", in which he played main role, which immediately made him super popular.

Benedict Cumberbatch, known for the BBC series Sherlock and the Oscar-nominated film about the brilliant codebreaker Alan Turing, The Imitation Game, became a father for the second time in early March.

In London's Portland Hospital, his wife, theater director Sophie Hunter, gave birth to a boy, whose name was Hal (Hal Auden Cumberbatch) in honor of the hero of Shakespeare's play - young Henry V, who was called that in his youth.

The new Sherlock is just around the corner!

The first episode, shown this year, left many with a painful feeling. As, in principle, was expected, the creators of the series were not too humane and killed Mary, Watson’s wife. By the way, it’s funny: at the time of meeting her, Sherlock-Cumberbatch noted that ().
