Carey Mulligan and Marcus Mumford: A Love Story Born from Childhood Friendship
From summer camp pen pals to married parents of three, the couple's relationship has been shaped by destiny and a shared private life away from the spotlight.
- Carey Mulligan and Marcus Mumford first met as children at a summer camp, where Mulligan wrote in her diary that Mumford was the 'nicest, kindest person' she'd ever met, but 'definitely wasn't boyfriend material'.
- They remained pen pals for a few years after camp but eventually lost touch, only to reconnect on Facebook years later and then in person when Mulligan was 24.
- Mulligan joked that they 'probably should get married' after 'destiny' brought them back into each other's lives so many times, leading to Mumford proposing in 2011 and their marriage in April 2012.
- They have three children together: an 8-year-old daughter named Evelyn, a 6-year-old son named Wilfred, and a baby girl born earlier this year, whose name has not been disclosed.
- Mulligan and Mumford have managed to maintain a balance between their high-profile careers and a private, idyllic family life on their farm, according to close friend Sienna Miller.
