“I love you, man. I love you. You’re the most incredible dad. You’re my best friend and I want to have 20,000 more babies with you,” said Jessie Buckley during her Oscar acceptance speech in 2026, a heartfelt tribute to her husband, Freddie Sorensen.
Jessie Buckley and Freddie Sorensen married in 2023 after five years of dating, having met on a blind date set up by music executive Marc Robinson. Their relationship blossomed, leading to a micro-wedding in Norfolk attended by 40 guests. Buckley, who has kept details about her husband private due to his profession as a mental health worker, has shared glimpses of their life together.
The couple welcomed their first child, a daughter named Isla, in 2025. At the time of her Oscar speech, Isla was just eight years old. Buckley’s emotional declaration about wanting to expand their family reflects the deep bond she shares with Sorensen, whom she describes as her best friend.
Freddie Sorensen, originally from Islington, England, has played a supportive role in Buckley’s career, which has seen her rise to prominence in Hollywood. In 2026, she won the Oscar for Best Actress for her role in the acclaimed film “Hamnet,” further solidifying her status as a leading talent in the industry.
During her acceptance speech, Buckley also humorously recounted her wedding day, stating, “I wanted a keg of Guinness, and I definitely wanted their cheese toasties at a certain hour.” This lighthearted moment highlights the couple’s fun-loving nature amidst their busy lives.
Jessie Buckley has won multiple awards, including a Golden Globe, BAFTA, and SAG Award, showcasing her talent and dedication to her craft. Despite her fame, she has prioritized her family, often keeping her husband and daughter out of the public eye to protect their privacy.
As they continue to navigate life together, Buckley and Sorensen remain committed to each other and their family. With their daughter Isla growing up, the couple looks forward to what the future holds, both personally and professionally.
Details remain unconfirmed about any upcoming projects for Buckley, but her recent success and the love she shares with Sorensen suggest that they will continue to thrive as a family in the spotlight.
