Michelle, known for her role as Lady Mary Crawley in 'Downton Abbey', dazzled everyone at the premiere in an elegant blue gown with off-the-shoulder sleeves, emphasizing her pregnant belly. Her look was complemented by a dramatic cloak, and her dark hair was stylishly pulled back.

The couple married in September 2023 in a low-key ceremony in London, following their engagement announcement in The Times newspaper.

“The engagement is announced between Jasper, son of Michael Waller-Bridge of Kings Lynn, Norfolk, and Teresa Waller-Bridge of Battersea, London, and Michelle Dockery, youngest daughter of Michael and Lorraine Dockery of Giddings Park, Essex.”

Michelle and Jasper started dating four years after the death of her late fiancé John Dineen, who died from a rare form of cancer.

The actress previously admitted that it was a hard loss for her. In 2017, she shared her feelings:

“I have no words to describe what it was.”

“And that it still feels. It’s... I'm sorry, give me a moment. I have never been more devoted to anything in my life than to him.”

“So at that moment everything just stopped. Work, everything. Work didn’t matter.”

“Suddenly you become an expert in [oncology]. It becomes your world, and of course, that was my priority.”
