Saoirse Ronan married her Mary Queen of Scots co-star in a secret ceremony.
According to People, the actress wed her longtime partner, actor Jack Lowden, in an intimate affair in Scotland in the past week. Irish Independent was first to break the news. (The Hollywood Reporter has reached out to reps for Ronan and Lowden.)
The couple had a civil wedding at the Edinburgh Central Registrar’s Office, located at the City Chambers. The report mentions that only a “handful” of their closest friends attended the nuptials and “all guests were sworn to secrecy.”
The actors met while filming the 2018 historical drama, in which Ronan played the Queen of Scots, while Lowden starred alongside her as Lord Darnley, her second husband. Their dynamic turned romantic shortly after getting to know each other on set. While the Irish actress tried to keep her then-blossoming romance private, Page Six reported in December 2018 that the duo appeared to be more than friends at a screening of the film, as they looked “extremely close.”
They share a home in Islington, North London and have a terrier named Fran. Since Mary Queen of Scots, Ronan and Lowden have collaborated again in The Outrun, which both produced; Ronan also stars in the film. The film, which premiered at Sundance, is based on the memoir of the same name by Scottish author Amy Liptrot, about returning to her hometown to rehabilitate following alcohol and drug addiction, finding solace in nature.
