Michael and Alicia tied the knot in October 2017 – three years after they began dating, following meeting on set of The Light Between Oceans.
The Danish Girl star previously spoke about potentially seeing children in her future during an interview with Elle.
She told the publication in 2017: ‘I don’t even have children, and it’s the wonder of my world.
‘I’ve always wanted kids. I’ve never been pregnant, but I hope to have a family one day. And it’s both the expectation and knowing that it should be the greatest experience of my life—and suddenly from one day to another, it’s a reality; it’s a new chapter of your life.’

Alicia previously starred alongside husband Michael on the big screen, with the couple appearing in 2016 romantic drama The Light Between Oceans – the movie set where they first met.
In an interview for the October edition of Elle Magazine, Alicia recently revealed that she would love to work with her husband in a film again.
She said: ‘I would love to work with him one day, but we’re very much individuals, which I love and I think is good in any relationship.
‘We both take on parts because it’s a film that is right for us, so it would have to be the same if we were ever to work together again.’
She and Michael rarely speak about each other in public, with Michael previously touching on his decision not to discuss his wife.
He told Entertainment Tonight in 2016: ‘I’m not going to talk about my private life with a total stranger, unless I feel like I need to. Why would I?
‘I might have been curious about actors’ lives when I was growing up. That’s human nature. We’re all curious about a lot of things. But my curiosity didn’t obligate them to tell me.’
