WHEN DID FELICITY JONES AND CHARLES GUARD GET MARRIED?

Jones and Guard have long been recognized as a reclusive couple that seldom shares details about their lives with the public. The couple dated for three years before becoming engaged in 2017.

Even though they have kept their romance hidden, news of their marriage has been made public. According to The Sun, the couple secretly exchanged vows in July 2018 at Sudeley Castle in the Costwolds, Oxfordshire.

Only a few prominent Hollywood figures were there, including Oscar winners Eddie Redmayne and Tom Hanks. Jones seemed to be living her dream of marrying the love of her life.

In 2014, the Oscar-nominated actress, who was then single, shared that she was a romantic person who enjoys romantic stories and making films about love. She added:

"It's funny how seeing a love story never gets boring because it's the dream, isn't it? It's the dream to have a true connection with another human being."

Before Guard dated Jones, the famous filmmaker dated sculptor Ed Fornieles for a decade. He and the sculptor met while studying at the University of Oxford.

Despite her concerns that having a child would impact her career, Jones realized that having children is empowering rather than limiting.

DO CHARLES GUARD AND FELICITY JONES HAVE KIDS?

Guard and his celebrity wife secretly welcomed a child in 2020. The famed actress was photographed casually walking around the streets of London while wheeling a pram, according to the Daily Mail.

Jones sported stylish sunglasses, a striped skirt, a navy sweater, and a white pair of sneakers. While she maneuvered the stroller, she had a baby bag hung over one shoulder.

Jones's casual London stroll was her first public appearance since one of her representatives confirmed her pregnancy in 2019 after she debuted her baby belly at the launch of "The Aeronauts" in New York City.

Amid the news, there is no information on when the first-time mother gave birth to her child. Jones and her husband are very private individuals; thus, neither the name nor gender of their child has been publicly revealed.

The Birmingham-born actress once expressed her thoughts about having a child in 2016. Despite her concerns that having a child would impact her career, Jones said she realized that having children is empowering rather than limiting.

Based on what she observed with her friends and relatives, Jones remarked that having children made women stronger and more decisive. She felt fortunate to live in the modern era when women have options and choices.
