The couple tied the knot in a romantic ceremony at London’s Kew Gardens back in 2016.

Emer said at the time there was no time to enjoy a proper honeymoon as she was straight back to work.
Snapping a selfie of herself in her dressing room alongside her new husband, the actress wryly captioned the selfie, writing: ‘Bring your husband to work day. (Who needs a honeymoon?)’
The couple had been dating for five years before they got married but got engaged six weeks after meeting.
They have kept their relationship relatively private.
