Who Is Jessie Buckley’s Husband? Meet Her Husband Freddie and Family Life

Oscar-nominated actress Jessie Buckley, widely regarded as a favorite for Best Actress this year for her role in Hamnet, is expected to have her husband cheering her on at the ceremony. The 36-year-old star previously earned an Oscar nomination for The Lost Daughter in 2022, where her husband also accompanied her.

In addition to Hamnet, Jessie Buckley is currently starring in The Bride and is known for her roles in Women Talking, Men, I’m Thinking of Ending Things, Wicked Little Letters, and HBO’s Chernobyl.

Jessie is married to Freddie, a mental health worker who maintains a low profile due to his professional commitments. The couple met on a blind date arranged by a mutual friend. Jessie described him in 2024, saying, “He’s working in mental health, he’s gone back to university to work in mental health. He’s gorgeous.”

On the Table Manners podcast, Jessie also praised Freddie’s culinary skills, sharing, “One of my favorite ever dishes is anchovy pasta … Freddie makes it … it’s from a New York Times recipe but it’s just capers, chillies, about a pint of oil, great parsley and garlic.”

Jessie Buckley and Freddie tied the knot in 2023 and welcomed their daughter in 2025, balancing a growing family with her thriving acting career.
