Claire Danes

She shared her first kiss on screen in an episode of My So Called Life with Jared Leto.

She met Australian dancer Ben Lee at her birthday party in 1997 and were a couple for six years. They broke up in 2003 and Danes went on to have a romantic entanglement with former Stage Beauty so star Billy Crudup until 2006.

Danes then met actor Hugh Dancy on the set of Evening in 2006. They began a relationship and got engaged by February 2009. They married in France in a secret ceremony in late 2009. Their son Cyrus Michael Christopher was born on 17th December 2012 and they all live in the West Village neighbourhood of New York City.

When she was asked about her husband she only had good things to say about him; 'He's such a cutie patootie. While relationships are work, this just didn't feel like it. It's the kind of work that feels energizing rather than enervating. I find it very freeing to know that, okay, it takes constant nurturing and attention, but I can also stop looking for the one.
