We confess, there is nothing we like more than love stories that arise between two familiar people, and even more so if it is on a film set as has been the case with Paul Bettany (52) and Jennifer Connelly (52). The actors met in 2001 and said “I do” in a secret and intimate ceremony. From this union, the two children they have in common were born, Stellan, 19, and Agnes Lark, 12.
The couple has met again at work on several occasions and the truth is that it is a luxury to see them work together. They lead their private life in the most absolute discretion, but It is common to see them pose in front of the cameras in photocalls and on red carpetsnot only in common projects, but also supporting each other in their own work.
In a interview he did in 2015 for Entertainment Tonight, The actress revealed how it was the first time she saw the one who is currently her partner and yes, we can only say that It was the perfect start to a full-blown love story.
How Paul Bettanny and Jennifer Connelly Met
“I had never been close to someone so beautiful before. I remember thinking about trying to guess how many men I had met tried to flirt with her”, were the words that the British actor had before the first meeting with his wife. For her part, she commented that after her first script reading she thought that she seemed really good.
This happened during the filming of the movie ‘A Beautiful Mind’ in 2001., where she played what would be the couple of Russell Crowe’s character and he would be her roommate. Although it was a crush on him, she had to wait to hear him play the guitar “and that was it”, she recounted in this same interview.
After their relationship was confirmed, they worked together again in ‘Darwin’s Doubt’, released in 2009, where they played Charles Darwin and his wife. And also in ‘Shelter’, he as the director and she as the protagonist. Connelly also has another son, Kai Dougan.who is 25 years old and is the result of a previous relationship with film producer David Dougan.
The last time we’ve seen the couple posing together was during the world premiere of ‘Top Gun: Maverick!’, where she dazzled in a gold dress.
