Keeley Hawes: Marriage is 'dry-cleaning,' not 'power couple'!

Keeley Hawes shared insights into her marriage with Emmy-winner Matthew Macfadyen, emphasizing they are not a 'power couple.' The pair, who first met on the set of BBC's Spooks in 2002, are preparing to celebrate their 22nd wedding anniversary this year. Hawes expressed a desire to continue working with her husband, praising his excellent taste in scripts.

With a combined seven BAFTA nominations and two Emmy wins, their shared acting experience spans fifty years. However, Hawes humorously noted that their daily life involves more practical matters than celebrity status. Of their three children, only the youngest is following in their parents' footsteps by attending drama school.

The couple, who married in 2004, have built a lasting relationship grounded in shared experiences and mutual relaxation as they've gotten older. Their journey began with Macfadyen falling for Hawes while she was married, a situation he described as 'awful' but a slow process that led to their enduring partnership. They eloped to marry, with Hawes being heavily pregnant with their daughter at the time.
