Jamie Dornan has won hearts around the world thanks to his leading roles in the likes of Fifty Shades of Grey, Belfast, The Tourist and The Fall.
However, the Hollywood heartthrob is off the market, after settling down with actress and musician Amelia Warner, with the pair marrying in 2013.
Despite Jamie becoming a global star following the Fifty Shades franchises, his wife hasn’t settled down to watch the steamy films. Speaking to People in 2017, Jamie confessed: “It’s totally her choice if she wants to, but I don’t imagine why she’d want to see it. Yeah, I’m not going to tell her what she can and can’t do. I’m very un-Christian-like in that way, but no, I don’t think she has any plans to see it.”

Who is Amelia Warner?
Amelia, 41, began her career as an actress, landing her first starring role in the 2000 BBC adaptation of Lorna Doone. She also played teenage Fanny Price in the 1999 film, Mansfield Park, which stars Frances O’Connor. She went on to appear in supporting roles in films such as Æon Flux and Stoned, before turning to her music career.

After signing a record deal with Island Records, her cover version of the Smiths’ 1984 song ‘Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want’ was released and later selected as the soundtrack to the John Lewis 2011 Christmas advertisement.
In 2015, Amelia self-released a classical instrumental EP, titled Arms, before going on to score films such as 2017’s Mary Shelley, which starred Elle Fanning, and 2020 romance-drama, Wild Mountain Thyme, in which her husband co-starred alongside Emily Blunt.
How Jamie and Amelia got together
Jamie and Amelia first began dating back in 2010, but the Belfast star had his sights set on the musician long before they first crossed paths. During an appearance on Face to Face with Irish journalist Eamonn Mallie, Jamie admitted that he “fancied” Amelia before meeting her at a mutual friend’s party.

Jamie revealed further details about their first meeting while appearing on The Late Late Show with James Corden. “She’d been an actor so I knew who she was,” he explained. “I always fancied her, and we were doing karaoke and … a friend of ours said, ‘Listen, Amelia Warner’s at a house party up by Los Feliz and she’s single.’ I literally dropped the mic and was like, you know, ran for the hills.
Jamie and Amelia’s family life
Jamie and Amelia tied the knot in 2013 before going on to welcome three daughters: Dulcie, who was born in the same year, Elva, who arrived in 2016, and Alberta, who the couple welcomed in 2019.
The Heart of Stone actor makes no secret of his adoration for his wife and daughters. Taking to Instagram in 2022, Jamie shared a snap of Amelia holding hands with her girls whilst crossing the street. He penned in the caption: “I’m nothing but a pile of dust without this crew.”

Jamie, Amelia and their three girls are thought to reside in London, having sold their eight-bedroom home in the Cotswolds in 2022.
