Downton Abbey actress Laura Carmichael has revealed details about her private wedding to co-star Michael C. Fox, following their secret ceremony three months ago. The pair first crossed paths in 2014 while working on ITV’s fifth series of the show. Laura portrays Lady Edith, while Michael takes on the role of butler Andrew Parker.
Michael initially disclosed their relationship during a September appearance on NBC’s special program, Downton Abbey Celebrates The Grand Finale. Laura spoke openly about their romance during a BBC Radio 4 interview with Kirsty Wark, confirming that Michael is her partner.
Reflecting on their on-screen personas where Laura plays a noble and Michael a servant, she humorously noted the contrast and shared anecdotes from their time filming together. The couple, who welcomed a son in 2021, have chosen to keep their personal life private.
In a previous NBC interview, Michael expressed gratitude to the show for bringing them together, acknowledging the significant impact it had on his life. The couple’s bond was further highlighted during the Downton Abbey finale premiere in London, where Laura proudly displayed her wedding ring.
After 15 successful years and three film adaptations, fans and the cast commemorated the beloved series at the event. Laura and Michael have strived to maintain a low-profile existence away from the spotlight, with the news of their son’s birth emerging a year after the fact.
Laura attributed her ability to keep her personal life private to the guidance of her Downton Abbey colleagues, emphasizing the importance of family and home life. The actress expressed gratitude for the friendships she has made through the show and the support she receives from her loved ones.
