Matthew Lewis' Wife: All about Angela Jones & Her Relationship with 'Harry Potter' Star
Angela Jones, Matthew Lewis's wife, had no idea that the handsome "Harry Potter" actor she had first met at the theme park would one day become her husband. Here's a look at their relationship.
In the immensely successful "Harry Potter" series, Matthew Lewis rose to prominence, starring as the shy protagonist, Neville Longbottom. Lewis has transformed into a charming heartthrob, a far cry from the iconic character he played in the past.
The 33-year-old English actor broke the internet in 2015 when he appeared in a magazine looking like a real heartthrob. Three years later, he hit the headlines again and crushed fans' hearts when he tied the knot with Angela Jones.
WHO IS MATTHEW LEWIS' WIFE, ANGELA JONES?
Jones is a lifestyle blogger who mostly writes about fashion, style, and home living topics. When she moved away from home for the first time, she began blogging to stay in contact with her friends and family.
Despite having no intention of earning a career from blogging, Jones, who is from Central Florida, has grown passionate about it and has developed a passion for connecting with like-minded individuals throughout the globe.
She first had her sights set on being a travel blogger. Although she enjoys exploring different places, she realized it was not fun since she liked to savor the moment rather than record anything. She stated in her blog:
"Now, I'm realizing that I love sharing fashion and my everyday looks as well as general lifestyle things… positive thinking and such. I'm still trying to find my place and I think that's the biggest challenge for me.."
Blogging has also helped ease her overthinking as it organizes her thoughts. While she has an outgoing nature, Jones admits to being anxious about meeting new people, which led her to experience generalized anxiety, but she has learned to handle it.
HOW DID MATTHEW MEET ANGELA?
Lewis and Jones met unexpectedly. While the "Harry Potter" films helped Lewis launch his acting career, it was through one of the films in the franchise that he met the woman who would become his wife.
The couple first crossed paths in January 2016 at Universal Studios in Orlando, where Jones worked as an event planner for the Wizarding World event. She was in charge of the VIP guests for the event, and Lewis was one of the guests invited.
Jones's dream career was to plan events, and she thought she could do it for a long time. But she quit her job to be with Lewis. In November 2016, Lewis proposed to Jones in Paris, France, after dating for eleven months.
The former event planner had her heart set on starting a new chapter in life with a second chance at marriage.
Jones thought getting married to Lewis was the best way to end their long-distance relationship. She and the "Me Before You" actor used social media apps such as FaceTime to communicate while still dating.
According to Jones' blog, Lewis spent several months staying with Jones at her home in Florida. However, in November 2017, they relocated to California together.

Jones has worked exclusively as a blogger since leaving Universal Studios. According to her website, she intends to freelance event planning all over the globe while continuing to create content for brands she loves.
Meanwhile, Lewis has achieved success in several theater productions in London. He previously appeared in many TV shows, such as "The Syndicate" (2012), "Happy Valley" (2017), and "All Creatures Great and Small" (2020-2021).
WHEN DID MATTHEW AND ANGELA GET MARRIED
Lewis and Jones exchanged vows in Italy in May 2018 following their romantic engagement in Paris. The former event planner had her heart set on starting a new chapter in life with a second chance at marriage.
Jones's marriage to Lewis is her second while it's the first for the dashing actor. Their wedding happened two years after Jones and her ex-husband finalized their divorce in July 2016.
Lewis revealed the news of his marriage with a light-hearted social media post where he poked fun at Jones. Lewis joked that she forced him to skip a concert so they could tie the knot. He wrote in jest:
"Not only did I miss @ArcticMonkeys in LA but they were performing in Italy at the same time we were there and my wife made me get married instead. Fuming."
After their wedding, Angela and her husband went on a honeymoon to Sicily. Lewis' wedding comes three years after he shocked the world by appearing shirtless on the cover of Attitude magazine.
It was a striking departure from his persona as Neville Longbottom in the Harry Potter films, but his change of image endeared him more to his fans. Other admirers would call Lewis's racy photos' "Longbottomed," a term that means "awestruck."
The couple has remained in Southern California with their two adorable dogs. Jones said on her blog that she has learned to embrace British culture since Lewis is from England.
Because Lewis's family and friends are from England, she noted in her blog that she considered going to her husband's homeland in the future. Although she is reluctant to leave her sunny home in the United States, she claims England as her second home.
On what she admires about her husband, Jones noted in her blog that she admires Lewis' passion for knowledge since he continues to educate himself about global issues.
Matthew Lewis, according to Jones, would look it up online and read it to her if he didn't know anything. Jones noted that she isn't a big reader since she gets sidetracked, but she appreciates that her husband is.
