Jamie Dornan's sizzling marriage with famous wife he had crush on before meeting
Heartthrob Jamie Dornan had his heart set on his wife long before they met.
The Irish actor, who found huge fame with Fifty Shades Of Grey, admitted to having a major crush on his wife, actor Amelia Warner, before their first encounter and jumped at the chance of finally meeting her. Jamie has admitted that he 'always fancied' Amelia, 41 - who starred in Casualty and Waking the Dead - before meeting her at a mutual friend's party in 2010.
He said on Face to Face in 2018: "I had this weird thing where I always felt that if I met her that we would just get on. It was just a strange thing. Something about her eyes. I just thought that we would work." The couple married in 2013, three years after they met, and now have three daughters, Dulcie, 10, Elva, seven, and Alberta, four, and reportedly live in a £1.75million farmhouse in the Cotswolds, having moved from LA.

I always fancied her , and we were doing karaoke and... a friend of ours said, 'Listen, Amelia Warner's at a house party up by Los Feliz and she's single.' I literally dropped the mic and was like, you know, ran for the hills."
While the Belfast star had previously dated Keira Knightley, Amelia had a short non-legal marriage with Colin Farrell which only lasted four months. Speaking about getting together with Amelia, Jamie told the Belfast Telegraph : "I was smitten with her from the start, I really was. I'm more in love with her today than I was at the start."

A few years after they got married, Jamie admitted he was 'delighted' to have a wife so he no longer has to clear up speculation about his love life. When asked about not having to deal with rumours, he told Marie Claire : "Absolutely delighted. But saying that, people like to go after your family and sh*t as well. It's one of the main reasons I left social media. They say horrific things about your loved ones, and so it opens up fast... but yes, the idea of being single makes me instantly sweat."
The Irish actor was also quick to rubbish any rumours of a rift with his Fifty Shades co-star, Dakota Johnson. He said: "We get on very well, we make each other laugh and we're comfortable with each other, which is very important because Jesus, if I didn't get on with her... I've heard horror stories of that happening. Actors who have to do intimate things with another actor and they just don't get on... It's not good."
Jamie is best known for playing Christian Grey in the Fifty Shades franchise and recently portrayed Elliot Stanley in the drama series The Tourist, while Amelia is an award-winning composer with music in numerous films including Wild Mountain Thyme - which her husband co-starred in alongside Emily Blunt.
