Uzo Aduba's Husband: The Soon-to-Be Mom Is Married to Filmmaker Robert Sweeting – Inside Their Relationship

Uzo Aduba stunned the world in late 2021 when, after years of guarding her privacy, she shared pictures from her wedding with her husband, Robert Sweeting. The couple has grown relatively comfortable sharing their love on social media and are now expanding their family.

On September 12, 2021, Uzo Aduba shared a selfie showing her clad in wedding attire, looking gorgeous with minimal make-up and her braids styled in an updo. Her husband, Robert Sweeting, stood close and towered over her, leaning on her head with a smile of contentment.

Robert Sweeting donned a navy blue tux with a black bow tie and a flower pin. Alongside the lovely photo, Uzo Aduba wrote of how, for some people, waiting to find that special someone can feel like a lifetime.

"My heart, my love — I'm so happy my life started last year with you. You're the best thing that ever happened to me," she continued. That same day, Sweeting also posted a tribute, celebrating his first wedding anniversary with Aduba.

"One year ago, I married this gorgeous, talented, and incredible woman. This past year has made me appreciate the fragile nature of life and the importance of living it," he wrote, adding that at a time when the world was "upside down," he and Aduba found joy in one another.

The lovebirds' announcement took the world by storm as, despite living in the spotlight, Aduba had kept her love life a mystery. The Emmy-winning actress has cemented herself on Hollywood screens; however, her husband works behind the scenes.
