Jessie Buckley was "scared of love" for most of her life before settling down with husband Freddie Sorensen.
The Oscar-nominated Hamnet actress, 36, tied the knot with Freddie, who works in the mental health sector, at their home in Norfolk, England in 2023 and they are parents to a daughter who was born last year - and Jessie has now confessed it took her a long time to find the right relationship.
She told Deadline.com: "I think love is terrifying. I have been scared of love for a lot of my life, and it took me a long while to discover what that word even meant for me, not just the idea of it.
"I think sometimes love at first sight, it’s too much of a projected idea for it to … I think it takes … You can’t just make a meal. You have to cook it."
When asked if she believes in "love at first sight", Jessie replied: "Yeah, I do. I think it’s not what I ever expect it to be. The real stuff is not ever what I expect it to be.
"So even that magnetism might transcend or transform into a very different, layered, complex, full thing. And I guess that depends on where you are in your life and how open you are to that."
