UMVA has learned that Joseph Fiennes, the 55-year-old actor known for his roles in The Handmaid's Tale and American Horror Story, has been married to his wife María Dolores Diéguez for over 14 years.
The couple tied the knot in 2009 in a Catholic ceremony in Tuscany, Italy. María Dolores, a Swiss actress and model, has a successful entertainment career, having risen to prominence as an international model in the 2000s and competed in Miss Switzerland.
Joseph Fiennes has been making headlines recently for his uncanny resemblance to Gareth Southgate in the BBC's new drama, Dear England, where he portrays the former England manager. The show tells the story of the team's highs and lows under Southgate's reign.
Aside from his on-screen roles, Joseph Fiennes has a loving family life with María Dolores. They have two daughters, Eva and Isabel, and have moved from Spain to London full-time. The family had a nomadic upbringing, with 14 moves during their childhood due to their father's different jobs.
Joseph Fiennes is a devoted father and has strict rules for his daughters, especially when it comes to technology. He bans social media use after dinner and doesn't allow his daughters to use their phones in their bedrooms.
The Fiennes family is creative, with several siblings pursuing careers in the arts. Ralph Fiennes, Joseph's older brother, is a renowned actor known for his roles in Harry Potter and Schindler's List. Other siblings include Sophie, a director and producer; Martha, a director; Magnus, a composer and record producer; Jacob, a wildlife conservationist; and Michael, an archaeologist.
Joseph Fiennes' family life is filled with love and support. His parents, despite struggling financially, encouraged their children to express themselves creatively. This is evident in the success of his siblings and his own children, including his niece and nephew, who are also pursuing careers in the entertainment industry.
