Ralph Fiennes' relationship history
As of 2025, Ralph Fiennes was in a relationship a total of 2 times.
Alex Kingston
Ralph Fiennes met Alex Kingston during their training time at RADA. The two dated each other for over ten years until deciding to get married in 1993, but things did not turn out as they had hoped. Differences came up 4 years into their marriage when it was reported that Ralph was cheating on the Doctor Who star with his Hamlet co-star, Francesca Annis.
Their divorce in 1997 ended their 14-year-long relationship, which had a huge mental effect on Alex Kingston. Their separation caused the actress to move to Los Angeles and avoid watching Fiennes's films, just to get over the actor. Talking about it to The Standard in 2012, the actress claimed, "I feel no connection to him or to her now. It's been so long, I can't quite believe I was ever married to him."
Francesca Annis
Ralph Fiennes and Francesca Annis first met each other during the shoot of Hamlet, where Fiennes was featured as the titular character and Annis starred as Queen Gertrude. The duo started their relationship in secret around 1995 as the two were married at the time. It was after Annis ended her 23-year-old marriage with Patrick Wiseman, and Fiennes’ divorce to Kingston in 1997, when the two officially came together.
Throughout their years together, both Francesca Annis and Ralph Fiennes talked about their relationship quite less. According to the BBC news portal, the actress said, "Ralph and I have been together 10 years now, so whatever happens we have had a very good, different relationship and an interesting time." It was after 11 years of their relationship that the two decided to split and go their separate ways, as per an official statement Annis gave on BBC.
