Succession’s Matthew Macfadyen cosies up to wife Keeley Hawes

Succession star Matthew Macfadyen made a rare public appearance with his actress wife Keeley Hawes at The Chelsea Flower Show on Monday. 

The actor, 48, who plays Tom Wambsgans in the hit black dramedy, was smartly clad for the outing alongside his wife of 19 years Keeley, 47. 

He sported a tan coloured corduroy blazer with complementary chinos while rocking a wholly un-Tom like smatter of designer stubble for the annual event. 

The Spooks star meanwhile was appropriately dressed in a pretty floral dress paired with flats while her honeyed tresses were in an elegant bouncy blowdry. 

In the latest episode of Succession, which aired in the US on Sunday evening ahead of its UK airing on Monday night, Tom and his on-screen wife Shiv Roy, played by Sarah Snook, continued in their bitter war of words.

In the penultimate episode of Succession, Season Four Episode Nine saw the stars of the show convene for Tom’s late father-in-law Logan Roy’s funeral. 

As fans saw in previous weeks, Shiv has finally come clean to Tom about the fact she was expecting their child, in the wake of one of the most shocking fights.  

Matthew and Keeley first met in 2002 on the set of the BBC spy drama Spooks. At the time she was newly married to DJ Spencer McCallum, with whom she shares 23-year-old son Myles.

The couple’s work friendship later evolved into romance, and she divorced Callum in 2004, before marrying Matthew later that year. They later welcomed two children: daughter Maggie, 18, and son Ralph, 16.

On how Matthew first announced his love for his wife, she revealed: ‘Matthew just came straight out with it and said ‘I love you’ in the rain one day. I thought, ‘Oh dear, here we go.’

While their off-screen appearances are scant, the duo were recently co-stars once again when they starred in Stonehouse, which aired in January 2023.

On working with her husband, Keeley told The Guardian earlier this tear: ‘Ultimately, he’s an actor that I would have loved to work with anyway. So yes, it was a joy.

Back in 2010, Keeley sweetly said of their marriage: ‘ I love being married to Matthew, and I know Matthew loves being married too…

‘It ties everything up and it’s a statement to each other and to the world. Marriage and being a mother are absolutely crucial to my happiness and my life.’
