Theo James’ girlfriend became his wife in 2018. James is very secretive about his relationship with his wife, Ruth Kearney.

More than a decade ago, the Irish actress Ruth Kearney and Theo James first crossed paths at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. 

It was there that Kearney captured James’ heart. Since then, Kearney has become well-known for her roles on television shows such as Netflix’s Flaked and the popular British science fiction series Primeval. The couple got married in 2018, but the exact date of their wedding is not known. 

Despite their busy acting careers, the couple has managed to maintain a committed relationship. James has spoken about the challenges of balancing their relationship with their individual performing jobs in the past, but the couple rarely discusses their love life in public or in interviews.

He told the Evening Standard in 2020, “It’s interesting being together this long since we’ve gone through the very beginnings of our professions.”

The couple is also private on social media. While Kearney frequently shares posts about her husband, James does not have any personal social media accounts. 

In August 2021, they welcomed their first child, a daughter, but have not yet released any pictures of their baby. 

James has spoken about the challenges of becoming a father and how it has made him a more solid person, in an interview with “InStyle“. 

He has also candidly discussed how he and Kearney have experienced different stages of success in their acting careers, stating that it can be challenging at times, but it also brings strengths to their relationship. 

Prior to the birth of their daughter, the couple appeared together in the British drama Sanditon.
