Powerful, emotionally rich, and nuanced, Jessie Buckley’s performances in Wild Rose and The Lost Daughter easily make her one of the finest actors of this generation. She was magnificent portraying Agnes in the critically acclaimed stage production Hamnet. While she brilliantly balances her life and career, it is her family, her child, and her husband who continue to be her quiet strength.

Buckley has largely kept her personal life and marriage away from public attention. So, while there is not much known about her husband, Freddie, here is a close look at all the times when the actress spoke about her husband 

Not many people know about Jessie Buckley’s personal life or her husband, Freddie Sorensen. As she shared in an interview with The Guardian in 2021, she simply hinted at being in a relationship for a while. As for his work, the actress shared during a conversation on the Table Manners podcast in 2024 that Freddie works in the field of mental health. She further added that he is British and from Islington in London.

Later, during a conversation on the Table Manners podcast in 2024, the actress also shared that she met her now husband on a blind date set up by their mutual friend. The two later tied the knot in 2023 at their home in Norfolk. Even amid the actress’s hectic schedule, the two split their time between a flat in Dalston and their home in Norfolk. And in 2026, the two welcomed their first child.

Although the actress chose to keep all the details secret, she did speak about motherhood and the experience of being a new mom while balancing her career. After all, 2026 is a huge year for the actress. She became a mother, and her powerful performance in Hamnet is getting widely recognised. So, when she won the BAFTA for the movie, she made sure to dedicate it to her little one.

After winning at the Critics' Choice Awards, Jessie Buckley went on to claim the much-deserved honor at the BAFTA for her role in Hamnet, making her the first Irish artist to do so. During her emotional acceptance speech, she dedicated the award to her daughter. 

“I'd like to share this with my daughter who has been with me since she was six weeks old on the road with this,” she said.

And while she is yet to bring her husband, Freddie Sorensen, to any of the award events, she did not forget to mention him. Buckley thanked her husband for his constant support, making it a special moment both in her life and her career. Her acknowledgment of him in such moments, even without him on the red carpet, underscores how central his support has been to her success and sense of balance throughout her rising career.
