Josh Hartnett has praised his wife, Tamsin Egerton, for supporting their family while he is away filming his latest movie, Verity.
The 48-year-old actor stars alongside Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson in the new film, which arrived in cinemas on Friday. Hartnett and Egerton have been together for more than a decade, have four children and largely keep their family life private.
Speaking during promotion for Verity, Hartnett acknowledged the responsibility Egerton takes on when his work requires him to travel.
“Luckily, I have an amazing wife who kind of picks up the slack when I go away,” he said.
How Josh Hartnett and Tamsin Egerton met
The couple met while working together on the film The Lovers, in which they played husband and wife. Hartnett said in a 2024 interview that they developed feelings during production and began dating after filming had finished.
They initially divided their time between the United States and England before their relationship became more serious and they spent more time together.
Egerton is an English actress whose credits include St Trinian’s and its 2009 sequel, the television series Camelot, Keeping Mum, Driving Lessons, Chalet Girl and Love, Rosie. Her more recent work includes the 2024 film Tell That to the Winter Sea.
When did Josh Hartnett and Tamsin Egerton marry?
Hartnett and Egerton married privately on 5 November 2021. News of the wedding emerged several months later, in March 2022.
Although they rarely discuss their relationship publicly, the couple have occasionally appeared together at major events. They attended the London premiere of Oppenheimer in 2023, walked the Oscars red carpet in 2024 and appeared together at the London premiere of Verity in September 2026.
They welcomed their first child in 2015, followed by a second in 2017 and a third in 2019. Hartnett confirmed the arrival of their fourth child in February 2024, while continuing to keep the children’s lives out of the spotlight.
The family live on a small farm in Hampshire, where Hartnett and Egerton are raising their children away from much of Hollywood’s attention.
