Downton Abbey stars Laura Carmichael and Michael C. Fox have married in secret, after first meeting on the show during its fifth season back in 2014. “I owe a lot to this show,” Fox, who portrays Andrew Parker in the show, told NBC in an interview reflecting on how the BBC drama changed his life. “I think so much of my life has been shaped around this show.” Leslie Nicol, who plays Mrs. Patmore, asked Fox, “What if someone said you’re actually going to find your wife and have a child? Life-changing stuff” to which he replied, “I know. It’s incredible.” Fox and Carmichael have been public about their relationship for years, welcoming their first child into the world in 2021, but have never previously confirmed their marital status. But after letting things slip during the retrospective with NBC, the couple’s reps later confirmed they were married in a statement to Today. Although the couple has tried to keep their relationship out of the public eye, Carmichael gushed over how lucky she was to have met Fox in a 2019 interview, stating “I’ve fallen in love and made wonderful friends—how lucky am I?” The pair reunited with the rest of the cast ahead of the premiere of Downton Abbey Celebrates The Grand Finale, which airs on NBC on Sept. 10.
