Jessie Buckley has tied the knot with her partner in a secret ceremony last summer.
The Irish actress married English mental health worker, Freddie whom she originally met on a blind date.
The two then made it official with an intimate ceremony at their home in Norfolk last year.
Speaking to the Table Manners podcast, the Killarney-born actress opened up about what her family thought of her marrying an Englishman.
“I moved to London when I was 17 and anytime I brought an English boyfriend back to Ireland, my granny would call him Séamus, whatever his name was. ‘How are you Séamus?’…’
Adding: “Freddie stayed Freddie. I don’t know why she did it, maybe she couldn’t remember!”
Jessie and Freddie now split their time between Dalston, East London and Norfolk which she described as their “heart home”.
“We probably split 50/50 between them at the moment. But we’ve only been there [in Norfolk] for three years,” she said.
When asked why they decided to move to Norfolk, she replied: “I’d never been there. We were originally going to move to Suffolk because we’d fallen in love there.
“Then friends of ours had moved to Norfolk and bought this old place for like nothing at an auction, pulled the weeds out of it and just did the whole thing up.
“And then they showed us the house that we [now] live in, which is [from the] 1500s and falling down… it’s a really amazing old house that’s been there forever.”
Although Jessie didn’t give too much away about the special day she did reveal one of her favourite memories, which included a geg of Guinness and cheese toasties – sounds like heaven!
