The Love Story of Josh Hartnett and Tamsin Egerton That Don’t Show Off Their Relationship on Social Media, but Carefully Preserve It for Each Other
There are some celebrity couples we know so much about as if they are our relatives. At the same time, there are stars that keep their relationship low-key. For Josh Hartnett and Tamsin Egerton, a quiet life far from tabloids has become synonymous with family happiness.
They met on the set of a failed movie.
Josh Hartnett and Tamsin Egerton started dating in 2013. He is a successful American actor, the star of The Faculty, Lucky Number Slevin, 40 Days and 40 Nights. She is an English actress, known for the roles of Chelsea Parker in St Trinian’s, and Guinevere in Camelot. They met each other on the set of The Lovers, where they portrayed spouses.
Their meeting is fateful because the main characters were supposed to be played by different actors. But Brendan Fraser and Neve Campbell rejected the parts, so Hartnett and Egerton got them.
Unfortunately, the film wasn’t a box-office success. The critics were quite harsh about it, calling both the film and casting unconvincing. But one of the positive outcomes is Josh and Tamsin’s relationship which has lasted for almost 10 years.
They carefully protect their relationship and don’t show it off on social media.
Josh and Tasmin are one of the few famous couples people don’t know much about. They don’t post selfies online or broadcast their lives as many other stars do. Besides, Josh doesn’t even have an Instagram account.
Unlike Josh, Tasmin has an Instagram page. But you won’t find any perfect family photos there. Instead, there are just a few cute photos with their child and several photos with Josh at some events.
They hid the fact they had their 3rd child for 2 years.
Their relationship developed very quickly, and in 2015, they had a daughter. 2 years later, they had their second child, and 2 years after that, their 3rd. And nobody even knows the names of their kids.
The actors protect their personal lives so carefully, they people only found out about their 3rd child in 2021, 2 years after birth. Maybe, the fans would have never found out if Josh hadn’t let it slip that he was a father of 3.
They left Hollywood to be closer to their parents.
Josh was born in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Then, he lived in New York for a while and moved to Los Angeles, where he started his movie career. Tasmin was born in Surrey, England. Her career started in England. But she also had to go on business trips to other countries. For example, The Lovers was filmed in Australia and India.
Still, when you think about a family of actors, it seems natural for them to live in Hollywood. But this couple chose to live a quiet life in Surrey, where Tasmin is from. Besides, Tasmin says they moved there to be closer to her parents, and Josh fully supports her.
They secretly got married and only told about 5 months later.
When Josh and Tasmin met, she wasn’t going to get married. She said, “Not yet ... I’m 25! I want to stay traveling and working as much as possible.” But their love story was moving at such a breakneck speed that 2 years later, they had their first child. Tasmin said in 2018, “Marriage is something that’s going to happen, but we’re focusing on children at the moment.”
They didn’t rush each other and got married only when both of them were ready. Of course, the fans only found out about this event 5 months later. Their wedding took place at The Old Marylebone Town Hall. The Soho Room they chose for the ceremony could only fit 12 people.
The relationship with Tasmin is what Josh feels proud of the most.
Despite big roles in big movies and the experience of working with famous directors, Josh thinks that it’s not what he’s proud of the most. He says that his wife, children, and parents are way above chasing a Hollywood dream. The famous actor values a stable relationship and a chance to be with his family more than the ever-changing fame.
Josh and Tasmin clearly understand what really matters to them in life. And they set their priorities accordingly. Maybe, this is why they manage to protect their relationship from the public eye and enjoy each other’s attention.
If you were famous, would you share your happiness on social media, or would be protective of your personal life?
