Kristin Scott Thomas, the star of the popular TV show Slow Horses where she portrays the ruthless MI5 spymaster Diana Taverner, has recently tied the knot in a secret ceremony with John Micklethwait, the editor-in-chief of Bloomberg. The pair, who have been in a relationship for five years, exchanged vows in a private ceremony in September, attended only by their close family members.
This news of their nuptials adds to a trend within the Slow Horses cast, as earlier this year, Kristin Scott Thomas’s co-star Jack Lowden, who plays River Cartwright in the series, also had a low-key wedding with actor Saoirse Ronan. Despite being a highly acclaimed actress, Kristin Scott Thomas’s appearance in Slow Horses marks a rare venture into television for her, having starred in numerous films and theatre productions over the years, including iconic movies like Four Weddings and a Funeral and The English Patient.
Known for her discretion, Kristin Scott Thomas prefers to keep her personal life out of the limelight. When asked about her relationship with Mr. Micklethwait in a recent interview, she maintained her privacy, simply stating, “I’m not going to talk about him. I’m talking about me.” Their friends have expressed joy over the couple’s union, describing them as a perfect match – both intelligent, witty, and deeply devoted to each other.
John Micklethwait has been at the helm of Bloomberg’s extensive newsroom since 2015, following a successful tenure as the editor-in-chief of The Economist for nine years. His background in journalism coupled with Kristin Scott Thomas’s illustrious acting career has created a power couple dynamic that has captured the fascination of many.
The newlyweds’ friends have shared their delight at the news, emphasising the genuine connection and love shared between Kristin Scott Thomas and John Micklethwait. As the couple begins this new chapter in their lives, fans and well-wishers look forward to seeing their relationship bloom and endure in the years to come.
