Saoirse Ronan has reportedly married her long-term partner Jack Lowden.
According to the Irish IndependentThe couple tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Edinburgh, Scotland, last weekend, with only a handful of their closest friends and family in attendance.
According to the outlet, the Scottish civil marriage registry shows that Saoirse Una Ronan married Jack Andrew Lowden at the Edinburgh Central Register Office.
The 30-year-old Irish actress, who had her breakthrough role playing Keira Knightley's younger sister in the acclaimed 2007 drama Atonementmet Lowden in 2018 on the set of Mary Queen of Scotsin which she played Mary Stuart and he played the monarch's husband, Lord Darnley.
Ronan, a four-time Oscar nominee, reportedly bought a house with Lowden in west Cork in 2020. The couple live together in north London, with their terrier, Fran.
Rumours of a possible wedding began a year ago when fans thought Lowden had proposed during a hiking holiday in Scotland in July 2023. He had posted a photo from the top of Ben Vrackie in Perthshire, Scotland, showing a hand, which fans thought could belong to Ronan, with a diamond ring on it.
At the time, although fans commented with congratulatory messages on the post, the couple did not address them or confirm the speculation. The Independent has contacted Ronan's representatives for comment.
Most recently, the pair shared a photo together at the Glastonbury festival in June, with Lowden seen wrapping his arms around ladybug actor as they watched the stage from the crowd.
Ronan began his career at the age of 13 in Atonementa role for which she received an Oscar nomination in the Best Supporting Actress category. Her subsequent nominations were for Brooklyn (2015), ladybug (2017), and Little woman (2019).
Lowden previously reflected on how impressed he was with Ronan when he worked with her on Mary Queen of Scots. “The woman is a force of nature, on and off screen, and she is absolutely fearless and also a brilliant leader,” he told the Yo last year's newspaper.
“My first love is actors, and when you are given a Ferrari like her, it is all about how to make everything work so that the Ferrari looks good,” he added. “Don’t make a Ferrari do what a Renault Clio does. It’s a terrible analogy, but they are like gold dust, good actors. When you have someone like that, you just have to make their job easier and you will get gold. And, my God, we did it.”
Lowden's production company, Arcade Pictures, which he set up with Ronan and producer Dominic Norris, is behind his next film. The Outrun, which stars Ronan as a recovering alcoholic who returns to the Orkney Islands.
The film is scheduled for release in September of this year.
