Rosamund Pike is sparking warm waves of curiosity after sweetly referring to Robie Uniacke as her âhusbandâ in a recent interview. The Oscar-nominated actress, 46, dropped the unexpected detail while reminiscing about a family trip to China with Uniacke, 65, and their sons Solo, 13, and Atom, 10.
âI went on a two-week trip to China with my family,â Pike said on the Travel Secrets podcast. âMy children speak Chinese, which is a superpower. It means that I have an experience of China that I couldn’t otherwise have.â
She added with a smile in her voice, âWe can dive into the midst of something and not fear getting lost or getting ripped off or any number of things. So we go into the night markets⦠My husband, mainly to amuse the children, ate a skewer of scorpions, grilled before him on the griddle.â
It was the first time Pike had ever publicly called Uniacke her âhusband,â and the affectionate slip immediately fueled speculation that the famously private couple may have quietly married after 16 years together.
A Surprising Shift After Past Comments About Marriage
GettyThe remark is notable given Pikeâs long-held stance that marriage wasnât for her, shaped by her painful split from director Joe Wright in 2008. She once said she had âno intentionâ of marrying again after that heartbreak.
Yet in recent weeks, Pike has been photographed wearing a ring on her left hand. At Paris Fashion Week, she wore a silver band as she walked through the city in jeans and a blazer. At the New York premiere of âNow You See Me: Now You Donât,â she wore the same band on her ring finger before later moving it to her middle finger.
The subtle switch only added to the mystery surrounding the coupleâs status.
Inside Rosamund Pike and Robie Uniackeâs 16-Year Partnership
Pike and Uniacke have been together since 2009, building a quiet, steady life far from Hollywoodâs spotlight. She has often spoken about his sharp mind and calm presence, once describing him as âa very astute mindâ and âvery, very well read and articulate.â
Uniacke, a mathematical researcher and former heroin addict, is a father of six. He shares one child with his ex-wife Emma Howard, three with his second wife, interior designer Rose Uniacke, and two sons with Pike.
GettyTheir relationship has remained strong through the years, even as Pikeâs own beliefs about love have shifted. âYou try to do the right thing and the conventional thing, and it doesn’t work, and then you’re free again,â she reflected in an interview with Vogue in 2014. âIt is interesting to break all the rules. I’m not married, I have a baby, and it feels infinitely more right.â
Her recent comments suggest her perspective may have changed once more.
Past Relationships That Shaped Pikeâs Approach to Love
GettyBefore she met Uniacke, Pike had two significant relationships that helped shape her views on love. While studying at Oxford, she dated actor Simon Woods for two years before they parted ways as he came to terms with his sexuality. Woods later married former Burberry CEO Christopher Bailey.
According to the Daily Mail, Pike later began a relationship with director Joe Wright after they met on the set of âPride & Prejudiceâ in 2005. The two became engaged in 2007 and bought a home together, but the relationship ended during the wedding planning process.
Those experiences influenced Pikeâs cautious approach to marriage, which makes her recent âhusbandâ comment even more intriguing.
