Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter are some of the most private couples in Hollywood. They have maintained their privacy by rarely talking about their relationship before the public.
This seemingly explains why sources said that they are "not affected by Hollywood." They are reportedly "two of a kind," who are old-fashioned with a connection that is "simply extraordinary," according to Us Weekly.
The same insiders added that the pair "share the same interests." It is said that they love visiting museums, as well as "curling up on the couch reading together."
All in all, it appears that these are all their secrets to being in love, with the Marvel actor seeing his wife as the "most spellbinding person."
Sophie Hunter and Benedict Cumberbatch tied the knot on Valentine's Day of 2015. They had an intimate ceremony on the Isle of Wight, in front of their 40 guests.
They, then, held the reception at Mottistone Manor afterward. People reported that the estate has a "special connection" to the opera director as she is related to the hereditary landowners, the Nicholson family.
The pair appeared to have kept the details of their wedding out of the spotlight. Although, an official representative told the publication that the special event was "magical."
Reports, also, noted that Cumberbatch and Hunter did not release photos of the occasion to the press.
Nicki Swift recalled that the two celebrities first met in 2009. They starred in "Burlesque Fairytales" as Henry Clark and Annabel Blythe-Smith.
But, it was not reportedly until four years later that they began dating each other. Within a year, the "Doctor Strange" actor proposed to his then-girlfriend.
As revealed, Benedict Cumberbatch is old-fashioned when it comes to relationships. This is why he first traveled to Edinburgh to ask permission, as well as the blessing of Sophie Hunter's mother.
The engagement news, also, came in a very traditional manner. Instead of announcing the relationship milestone on social media platforms or press statements, they chose to do it on an advertisement in the Births, Deaths and Marriages section of The Times.
Sophie Hunter and Benedict Cumberbatch now share three sons, with the youngest being 2 years old. Despite the private life that they have, they still make appearances, especially for official purposes.
The public recently spotted the couple at the premiere night of "Spider-Man: No Way Home." The actor reprised his role as Doctor Strange, and will continue to do so in the upcoming sequel of his Marvel film.
The Daily Mail reported that "Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness" will drop on big theaters on May 6, 2022.
