A look back at Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig’s enduring Hollywood romance, from co-stars to a marriage that’s lasted 15 years.
Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig are one of Hollywood’s most enduring power couples. But despite their A-list status, they’ve managed to keep their relationship remarkably private—so much so that many fans may not know the full story behind their romance.
The English actors first crossed paths in the ’90s, while working in London, but it wasn’t until more than a decade later that the two would reconnect and fall in love. Reunited on the set of the 2011 film Dream House, their on-screen marriage quietly blossomed into a real-life romance. That same year, they secretly tied the knot in New York City, surrounded by just a handful of loved ones. Since then, Weisz and Craig have continued to balance thriving acting careers with family life, welcoming a daughter in 2018—all while keeping their relationship mostly out of the spotlight. Ahead, a look back at the complete timeline of their love.They first meet 1994Weisz and Craig first meet while working on Les Grandes Horizontales at the National Theatre Studio in London.

While on set, they begin dating and fall in love. Movie producer Ehren Kruger tells MTV News, “There is method acting, and I guess there is matrimonial method acting. They were playing the roles as professionals, and it went from there.”Romance rumors sparkDecember 2010By the end of 2010, Weisz and Craig spark dating rumors after being spotted together several times. A few months before the release of Dream House, People reports that the two spend Christmas together. They’re seen “walking hand-in-hand through the snowy countryside of Dorset in southwestern England and entering a small, Edwardian-style pub together.”A source adds, “They’re laughing and chatting, hanging on to each other’s words, and stopping to take photos of each other.”The couple secretly marriesJune 2011 Following months of dating, Weisz and Craig secretly tie the knot. According to People, the intimate wedding takes place in New York and includes just four guests: Craig’s daughter Ella , Weisz’s son, Henry , and two friends. “We got away with it. We did it privately,” Craig later tells British GQ of the wedding. “And I’ve got a lot of people to thank for that. But that was the point. We did it for private reasons.”First appearance as a married coupleJuly 28, 2011One month after their private wedding, Weisz and Craig make their first public appearance together as newlyweds. The James Bond star and The Mummy actor attend a Cinema Society screening of The Whistleblower in New York City. As People reports, the couple shares some sweet PDA at the rooftop afterparty. “When Daniel arrived on the roof deck, he embraced Rachel and gave her a long, tender kiss on the lips — it was very romantic,” a source tells the outlet.

For the occasion, Weisz opts for a classic little black dress featuring sheer detailing, while Craig goes for a khaki-hued suit. Daniel discusses his marriage to RachelMarch 2012 In an interview with British GQ, Craig discusses his marriage to Weisz—and why he’s not letting anyone stand in the way of his happiness. “I’m in love. I’m very happy. And that is as far as I’m prepared to go,” the actor says. “Because my happiness, I’m sorry, is more important to me. Ultimately, people are saying, ‘Give it six months.’ Well, guess what? I’m not responding. Life is long, and I am hopefully in this for the long run.”The couple stars together on BroadwayOctober 2013 Weisz and Craig star together in the Broadway revival of Harold Pinter’s Betrayal. On stage, the real-life couple plays a married couple, Emma and Robert, in what marks Weisz’s Broadway debut. The limited show runs from October 1, 2013, through January 5, 2014.

Rachel talks about keeping her marriage privateDecember 2015In an interview with More magazine, Weisz shares why she keeps her marriage to Craig so private. “He’s just too famous,” she says. “It would be a betrayal. You have to protect your marriage. When you’re young, you tell your girlfriends everything. One of the great pleasures of not being an adolescent is that you don’t have to share everything. When you’re married, that door closes. The audience goes, and you’re in your own life.”The couple is expecting their first child together April 20, 2018While promoting her new movie, Disobedience, Weisz confirms in an interview with the New York Times that she and Craig are expecting their first child together. “I’ll be showing soon,” the actress says. “Daniel and I are so happy.

It also means we can alternate. I can stay home with the family while he works. We can swap out. If we’re both doing something at the same time, it’s probably less ideal.”The couple is spotted at Wimbledon July 16, 2023The couple attends the Wimbledon 2023 men’s final, donning coordinating suits to cheer on the match.
