Kristin Scott Thomas quietly marries editor John Micklethwait


British actress Kristin Scott Thomas married Bloomberg News editor Johh Micklethwait.

The “Slow Horses” star confirmed their nuptials on Tuesday’s “Ruthie’s Table 4” podcast after host Ruth Rogers mentioned the wedding in the episode’s intro.

“Kristin is enjoying the love and joy of marrying publisher and my friend John Micklethwait just a few weeks ago,” Rogers said. The Independent had previously reported that the two, who reportedly dated for around five years, secretly tied the knot in September.

Representatives for Scott Thomas did not immediately respond Wednesday to The Times' request for comment.

Scott Thomas added that she had been “craving stability” instead of traveling the world, even sleeping in the same bed for more than two weeks straight. His work on television has allowed him to do this.

“A lot of things happen in life in those four years,” Scott Thomas said of his time on the AppleTV+ thriller series. “People have died, people have been born, people have gotten divorced, people have gotten married. And this year we have had two weddings. we had jack [Lowden]the wedding [to Saoirse Ronan] and my wedding.”

The Oscar-nominated star of “The English Patient” said she and Micklethwait were married in Rutland, England, where her family is from. Discussing the wedding menu on the food podcast, the Cornish artist said they had coronation chicken, a cold chicken salad created for a lunch during the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. As a wedding gift, his sister collected and compiled recipes from her father's and mother's family and put them in a book for herself.

The “Four Weddings and a Funeral” and “Gosford Park” star was previously married to obstetrician François Olivennes from 1987 to 2005. The former couple shares three adult children.
