Who Is Stephen Graham’s Wife? All About Hannah Walters

Stephen Graham, the acclaimed actor known for his role in Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, has been married to his wife, Hannah Walters, for over 15 years. The couple, who met while studying at the Rose Bruford College of Theatre & Performance, have built a solid partnership both personally and professionally. They married in 2008 and are parents to two children: daughter Grace, born in 2005, and son Alfie, born in 2007.

Throughout their relationship, Graham and Walters have collaborated on several projects. In 2020, they co-founded the production company Matriarch Productions, aiming to support underrepresented talent and develop culturally relevant stories. Walters also played an important role in the production of Netflix’s Adolescence and Disney+’s A Thousand Blows, where she starred alongside her husband.

In a heartfelt moment during his Emmy acceptance speech for Adolescence, Graham thanked Walters, calling her his “soulmate,” and expressed deep gratitude for her support: “You are my rock, you are my world, you are my soulmate. And you know and I know, without you I would be dead. From the bottom of my heart I love you with everything I have.”

A Long-Lasting Partnership

The couple’s bond dates back to their college years, though it took a while for them to rekindle their romance. As Graham shared in a 2019 interview, they reconnected after Walters briefly moved to Spain. Their first date after the separation led to a heartwarming confession from Graham, “I love you.” Walters responded with, “I’d been waiting five years for you to say that.” From that moment, they moved in together and have been inseparable since.

A Collaborative Creative Force

Graham and Walters’ working relationship extends far beyond Adolescence. They have worked together on more than 15 projects, including the British drama Time, where they played a married couple. Director Lewis Arnold praised the couple’s natural chemistry on set, saying their connection was “extraordinary” and added a positive energy to the entire production.

Walters has also maintained her own identity as an artist. In interviews, she has spoken about the early days of their careers when she took a backseat to support their family. “Stephen has had more of a prolific career, and when we were both starting out, one of us needed to get a normal job,” she explained.

Building a Family and Career Together

In addition to their professional endeavors, Graham and Walters are dedicated parents. They have focused on raising their children with strong values and work ethics, despite their successful careers in entertainment. Walters emphasized that their children, while growing up in a fortunate environment, still have responsibilities at home, like “putting the bins out on a Wednesday night.”

Walters, who has also worked as a drama teacher, credits her background as instrumental in connecting with her students and shaping her creative endeavors. “I was to whom the poorly behaved students were sent,” she said. In Adolescence, she portrayed Mrs. Bailey, a character whose personality mirrored her own teaching style.
