Acclaimed Irish actress and singer Jessie Buckley has made significant waves in the entertainment world, securing nominations for a host of prestigious awards including an Academy Award, Critics Choice Award and three BAFTA Awards.
The 36-year-old star first burst onto the scene in 2008 as a runner-up on the BBC TV talent show 'I'd Do Anything'. Following this early triumph, she appeared in popular BBC television series such as 'War and Peace' (2016) and 'Taboo' (2017).
In 2017, Jessie made her cinematic debut with a leading role in 'Beast', and truly shone in the musical film 'Wild Rose' (2018). Her portrayal of an aspiring country music singer in the latter earned her a nomination for the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role.
In 2022, she released the collaborative album 'For All Our Days That Tear the Heart' with Bernard Butler, which was shortlisted for the 2022 Mercury Prize.
Now, the actress is back in the limelight due to her critically acclaimed performance in the historical drama 'Hamnet'. Starring opposite Paul Mescal, the Irish actor plays William Shakespeare's wife, Agnes, a role that has earned her a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama, reports OK!.
While numerous celebrities choose to keep their romantic relationships private, Jessie has elevated this approach to another level. The actress has succeeded in maintaining such discretion about her marriage that the public only knows her husband by his first name: Freddie.
The star has been married to Freddie for more than two years, after meeting him on a blind date set up by a mutual acquaintance.
Though the precise timeline of their romance remains unclear, Jessie first revealed she was with Freddie during a 2021 interview with The Guardian, lovingly calling him her "fella" and mentioning they'd "been together for a while".
Since that time, the pair have expanded their family, with Jessie revealing her pregnancy by showing off her baby bump at CinemaCon in Las Vegas last April.
Whilst the exact date of birth of her first child with Freddie this year remains undisclosed, the actress spoke candidly about motherhood during a November interview with People magazine.
Discussing her latest film Hamnet and the Oscar speculation surrounding her performance, she remarked that she's "just trying to be present". She continued, "I'm also a new mum, so, like, most of the time I'm changing a nappy and coming to things like this."
Buckley marked her recent Golden Globes triumph with husband Freddie before celebrating Hamnet's victory with her co-star Mescal. The actress bagged the Best Actress award for her role in Hamnet, which also scooped up the Best Film accolade.
Jessie celebrated her victory with her seldom-seen partner, who previously had a diverse career in TV production before transitioning to work in mental health.
