Rupert Evans Wife
At the time of writing, it seems that Rupert Evans doesn’t have a wife yet. It’s actually reported that he’s single right now.
He’s managed to shield his private life from the public eye over the years, but Rupert has occasionally mentioned his girlfriends from time to time.
The Charmed star was dating actress and The Hours star Lyndsey Marshal for a while, who accompanied him to the premiere of Hellboy back in 2004. This was the only time Rupert has been seen with a girlfriend in public.

Career
Before he joined the Bridgerton cast, Rupert Evans was busy building up an impressive portfolio of acting work.
He was into acting from an early age, and eventually studied his craft at the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art in London, graduating in 2001.
Early in his career, Rupert Evans made appearances in the likes of My Family, North and South, and Crime and Punishment, before making the jump to film. And this is when he started to become much more well known.
Rupert’s breakout role was in the comic book flick Hellboy. In the Guillermo Del Toro film, he starred alongside Selma Blair, John Hurt and Ron Perlman as John Myers.
And it seemed that this was a dream come true for Rupert!
“Working with Guillermo Del Toro was amazing really. As an actor, working with a director like that… seems to be able to manipulate an audience so easily… it’s amazing.”

He also took on a key role in American Pastoral with first-time director Ewan McGregor and Jennifer Connelly in 2016.
At this point, Rupert was on the radar of a LOT of big producers. His success in his earlier roles helped him bag parts in the reboot of Charmed, as well as Amazon’s hit series The Man in the High Castle.
But as we know, it’s Rupert’s time on Bridgerton that has made him a global star…

And it seems that Rupert’s been pretty excited about Bridgerton too!
Speaking with Augustman Magazine, the actor gushed:
“Being a part of a show is always an exciting thing.
For me, I believe Bridgerton called to the hearts of the nation during lockdown. It just came at the right time. Sometimes that happens and I wanted to be a part of it – the costume, the actors, who wouldn’t?”.
He added:
“I love the idea of playing Edmund Bridgerton: the father, the patriarch of the family.
He gets talked about a lot in season one, and that’s what really drew me to the role. I get to work with these wonderful actors and create this sort of real dynamic with the family.”
