Known for her breakthrough performances in films like The Mummy and The Constant Gardener, Rachel Weisz has maintained a strong presence in the film industry. However, despite her consistent success in the spotlight, the actress remains notably private about her personal life, particularly her marriage to James Bond star Daniel Craig.
The couple, who met while filming Dream House, got married within a year of dating and have kept much of their relationship away from the public eye. Weisz, however, once reflected that keeping such privacy is crucial for her to preserve the intimacy and authenticity of her relationship away from public scrutiny.
Rachel Weisz on the Importance of Privacy in Her Marriage to Daniel Craig
Both Rachel Weisz and Craig have remained notably private about their personal life. While they refrained from discussing their marriage in public, the couple has occasionally offered glimpses into their relationship.
In one such rare moment, the Black Widow actress opened up about why she values privacy in an interview with MORE Magazine. Weisz suggested that sharing personal details about their relationship would feel like a betrayal due to the immense fame of her husband, saying,
He’s just too famous. It would be a betrayal. You have to protect your marriage.
She further explained that with maturity comes the realization of the need to set boundaries and safeguard personal relationships. She said, as per E! Online
When you’re young, you tell your girlfriends everything. One of the great pleasures of not being an adolescent is that you don’t have to share everything. When you’re married, that door closes. The audience goes, and you’re in your own life.
The couple has been happily married for over a decade and shares a three-year-old daughter named Grace. Both also share children from their previous relationships. Craig shares a daughter with ex-wife Fiona Loudon and Weisz shares a son with her ex-partner, Darren Aronofsky.

Craig explained their decision to keep the wedding private, saying, “We did it privately. And I’ve got a lot of people to thank for that. But that was the point. We did it for private reasons.” Further sharing insight into his married life, the actor said,
Look. I’m in love. I’m very happy. And that is as far as I’m prepared to go — Life is long and I am hopefully in this for the long run.
