Married To Rachel Weisz
Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz form a happily married couple who exchanged vows on June 22, 2011. They wed in a very private and secret ceremony. Their decision to get married after only six months of dating was quite surprising to many.
The intimate affair took place in New York City and had just four attendees. Among those present were Craig's daughter Ella and Weisz's son Henry, emphasizing the merging of their families. The decision reflects the couple's desire for a personal and meaningful union, away from the public eye.

Craig And Weisz's Journey To Romance
Craig and Weisz's initial encounter took place in 1994. They were both cast in "Les Grandes Horizontales" at the National Theatre Studio in London. It's interesting to note that during this early period, he was already married to his ex-wife, Fiona Loudon. However, their personal and professional lives intersected again later on.
It wasn't until Daniel and Rachel collaborated on the movie "Dream House," that their romantic connection began to blossom. In the film, they portrayed a married couple. He took on the role of Will Atenton, while she played the character of Libby.
Have A Child Together
Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz welcomed their daughter into the world in 2018. The couple, known for their privacy, has chosen to keep their family life. Rarely seen in public with their little one, they have opted to maintain a sense of normalcy and shield their child from the spotlight.
Both Craig and Weisz bring children from their previous relationships into their blended family. "The Mummy" actress' son, Henry Aronofsky, was born on May 31, 2006. He is from her previous engagement to Darren Aronofsky.
Meanwhile, Daniel's daughter, Ella Craig, born in 1992, comes from his earlier marriage to Fiona Loudon. Ella has followed in her father's footsteps and ventured into acting.

The Intentional Privacy Behind The Marriage
In an interview with More, Weisz opened up about the couple's decision to keep their marriage and personal life away from the public eye. The actress stated, "He's just too famous, It would be a betrayal. You have to protect your marriage."
Craig's wife emphasized that as they've grown older, there's a shift in perspective. And, the need for privacy becomes more apparent. She feels no need to have to share every detail, expressing that during adolescence, one tends to share everything with friends, but as a married adult, there's a sense of closure to that chapter.
The Previous Marriage Of James Bond
Daniel's first marriage to Fiona Loudon lasted for a brief period of two years, from 1992 to 1994. The specifics of how they first met and the duration of their courtship remain a private aspect of their past.
The "No Time to Die" actor has shared the perspective that they married at a relatively tender and immature age. They lacked the foresight to fully understand the challenges and complexities that lay ahead for them as a couple.
The Failed Engagement With Satsuki Mitchell
Craig and Satsuki Mitchell's paths crossed on the set of the 2005 film "The Jacket." The couple decided to take their relationship to the next level and got engaged in 2007. However, despite their engagement, the pair faced challenges that led to the end of their seven-year relationship in November 2010.
Satsuki was taken aback by the rapid pace at which the "Knives Out" actor formalized his relationship with Rachel. Her father, Christopher, revealed to the Mail that her emotions were still quite raw following the separation. The impact on her well-being was evident. Her weight reportedly plummeted to the point where her father even expressed concern about a potential eating disorder.
The complexities of the situation were further highlighted when it was revealed that both Mitchell and Weisz spent time together on the set of the horror film "Dream House," where Daniel and Rachel's on-screen collaboration seemingly mirrored the real-life changes in their relationships.
