Recent reports revealed the identity of Jessie Buckley's highly secretive husband, Freddie. Here's all about him as she wins the Best Actress award at the Golden Globes 2026.
Jessie Buckley is grabbing all the headlines as the gorgeous woman won the award for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama for her role as 'Agnes' in Hamnet. The 83rd edition of the Annual Golden Globe Awards was held on January 11, 2026, and was a star-studded affair. The event marked Jessie Buckley's first Golden Globe nomination and win. As she beat talented actresses like Jennifer Lawrence to win the title, the spotlight fell on Jessie's personal life, particularly her mysterious marriage to her husband, Freddie. Here's everything we know about him.
Actress, Jessie Buckley is known for being fiercely private about her husband, and she often refers to him only by his first name, Freddie, to protect his anonymity in his current profession. However, recent reports of January 2026 have shed more light on his background and their life together. Recently, Daily Mail revealed that the 36-year-old Hamnet actress' husband's full name is Freddie Sorensen. He is reportedly an Islington-born mental health worker. Before starting his current profession, Freddie had a successful career in the entertainment industry.
Freddie Sorensen worked as a producer on major television projects, including The X Factor, Game of Talents UK. He also helped revive BBC's Gladiators, producing two episodes of the 2022 reboot, according to IMDb. Alongside his TV career, Freddie ran London party nights with childhood friend, James Gordon under the name Red Class, a nod to the classroom they once shared. Freddie also co-founded Rebel Bingo, a high-energy, boozy version of the game aimed at younger audiences. Specifics related to his age or family background are not available online.
Jessie Buckley and Freddie Sorensen met on a blind date in 2018 in London, arranged by a music executive with whom he worked on the film, Wild Rose. Their first date reportedly included a walk along the Regent's Canal in Hackney. The low-key arrangement foreshadowed their later secretive relationship and marriage. After dating secretly for two years, Jessie revealed him to the world at an event. In March 2022, Freddie accompanied Jessie Buckley to the 94th Academy Awards, where she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for The Lost Daughter.
Though Freddie kept a low profile, he was seen sitting with her at a table alongside Olivia Colman and Maggie Gyllenhaal. It was their first public appearance as a couple. Just like Freddie's Oscars support for Jessie Buckley, he remained a steady pillar behind her personal endeavours and professional success. As the actress wins a Golden Globe Award, Freddie must be a husband filled with pride and joy.
After five years of dating, the couple married in mid-2023, in a private ceremony held at their 15th-century home in Norfolk. News of the marriage was kept secret for some time, and Jessie later shared her wedding news, referring to her husband simply as 'Freddie' in interviews, choosing not to mention his surname. Jessie Buckley revealed she was expecting her first child at CinemaCon in April 2025. She welcomed a baby girl with her husband, Freddie, in December 2025, and confirmed the birth on the New York Times' Modern Love podcast that same month.
In the same interview, she revealed that she desired to become a mother in real life while playing Shakespeare's wife, Agnes, in Hamnet. Even when she won the prestigious 83rd Golden Globe Awards for the particular role, her husband didn't hit the red carpet with her. She beat fellow nominees, Jennifer Lawrence (Die My Love), Renate Reinsve (Sentimental Value), Julia Roberts (After the Hunt), Tessa Thompson (Hedda), and Eva Victor (Sorry, Baby) in the category.
Congratulations to Jessie Buckley!
