Who is Michelle Dockery married to? Personal life explored as actress announces pregnancy at 43

English actress Michelle Dockery and her husband, Jasper Waller-Bridge, are expecting their first child together. The joyful news was revealed at the London premiere of Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale, where Dockery graced the red carpet in a strapless light blue gown, proudly debuting her baby bump.

The 43-year-old actress was joined at the premiere by her husband, who wore a black suit paired with a blue shirt.

Michelle, daughter of Michael Dockery and Lorraine Dockery, married Jasper Waller-Bridge in September 2023. Jasper is a film producer known for being the executive producer on the TV mini-series Camden, released last year.

When did Michelle Dockery and Jasper Waller-Bridge get engaged?

Michelle Dockery reportedly got engaged to Jasper Waller-Bridge in January 2022 after dating for almost three years. The news was confirmed in The Times with the statement:

"The engagement is announced between Jasper, son of Michael Waller-Bridge of King’s Lynn, Norfolk, and Teresa Waller-Bridge of Battersea, London, and Michelle, younger daughter of Michael and Lorraine Dockery of Gidea Park, Essex."

One year after the engagement, and after attending many red carpets together, the couple tied the knot, starting a new chapter. The wedding took place at St. Nicholas Church in West London.

However, before marrying Jasper, the actress was engaged to John Dineen. Michelle and John reportedly started dating in September 2013, according to People. Speaking of him in 2014, Michelle, hinting at John, said:

"I have a wonderful man in my life from Ireland. We were introduced by Allen Leech. That’s all you need to know."

Dineen died of cancer at the age of 34 in 2015. Opening up in an interview reported by The Guardian, Dockery said:

"Oh, I refer to myself as a widow, yes. We were engaged, and married at heart, and so I do consider myself a widow. It’s why I related to Alice so much."

Fans are delighted to see Michelle Dockery begin this new chapter as she grows her family with her husband.
