Charles Guard: Get To Know Felicity Jones’ Husband Who Keeps His Life Away from the Spotlight

Charles Guard, Felicity Jones' husband, has drawn public interest due to his reserved nature. Despite his best attempts to avoid the spotlight, his many achievements in show business have made him the center of attention.

Felicity Jones catapulted to prominence as a child actress in the 1996 film "The Treasure Seekers." After appearing in many other films, her career spiked again after she earned critical praise for her role in the 2019 drama "Theory of Everything."

The English actress has been candid about her professional life and private about her personal life. She is married to Charles Guard, who has evaded becoming the center of attention.

WHO IS CHARLES GUARD, FELICITY JONES' HUSBAND?

Guard, who was born in England, is a successful filmmaker best known for films such as "The Uninvited," "Judge Dredd," "Inside Out," and "Borderland." In addition, he is also a prominent writer and producer.

Guard's family has a long track record in the movie business, so it's not surprising that he followed in their footsteps. His father, Howard, and his brothers, Thomas and Ted, are all excellent filmmakers.

Together with his brothers, Guard has produced various films and commercial videos, and they worked with celebrities such as "Game of Thrones" star Lena Headey and "The Crown" actress Olivia Colman.

WHEN DID FELICITY JONES AND CHARLES GUARD GET MARRIED?

Jones and Guard have long been recognized as a reclusive couple that seldom shares details about their lives with the public. The couple dated for three years before becoming engaged in 2017.

Even though they have kept their romance hidden, news of their marriage has been made public. According to The Sun, the couple secretly exchanged vows in July 2018 at Sudeley Castle in the Costwolds, Oxfordshire.

Only a few prominent Hollywood figures were there, including Oscar winners Eddie Redmayne and Tom Hanks. Jones seemed to be living her dream of marrying the love of her life.

In 2014, the Oscar-nominated actress, who was then single, shared that she was a romantic person who enjoys romantic stories and making films about love. She added:

"It's funny how seeing a love story never gets boring because it's the dream, isn't it? It's the dream to have a true connection with another human being."

Before Guard dated Jones, the famous filmmaker dated sculptor Ed Fornieles for a decade. He and the sculptor met while studying at the University of Oxford.

Despite her concerns that having a child would impact her career, Jones realized that having children is empowering rather than limiting.

DO CHARLES GUARD AND FELICITY JONES HAVE KIDS?

Guard and his celebrity wife secretly welcomed a child in 2020. The famed actress was photographed casually walking around the streets of London while wheeling a pram, according to the Daily Mail.

Jones sported stylish sunglasses, a striped skirt, a navy sweater, and a white pair of sneakers. While she maneuvered the stroller, she had a baby bag hung over one shoulder.

Jones's casual London stroll was her first public appearance since one of her representatives confirmed her pregnancy in 2019 after she debuted her baby belly at the launch of "The Aeronauts" in New York City.

Amid the news, there is no information on when the first-time mother gave birth to her child. Jones and her husband are very private individuals; thus, neither the name nor gender of their child has been publicly revealed.

The Birmingham-born actress once expressed her thoughts about having a child in 2016. Despite her concerns that having a child would impact her career, Jones said she realized that having children is empowering rather than limiting.

Based on what she observed with her friends and relatives, Jones remarked that having children made women stronger and more decisive. She felt fortunate to live in the modern era when women have options and choices.
