Anna Eberstein, Hugh Grant’s wife, is the first and only woman he has ever wed. The English actor had his doubts about getting married, but now he is delighted about his wife and their offspring.
Hugh Grant, a seasoned actor known for his endearing demeanor and quick humor, was born on September 9, 1960, in Hammersmith, London, England, U.K. He has received a lot of acclaim for maintaining his composure in the face of considerable media scrutiny.
The parts he portrayed in romantic comedies like “Four Weddings and a Funeral,” “Notting Hill,” and “Music and Lyrics” in the 1990s and early 2000s gained him the most popularity. His marriage to Anna Eberstien is doing well, along with his career.
The Swedish slipper sock business Ace&Me was founded in 2014 by Anna and her cousin Pia Tamm Hagnö, and Anna acts as its director. She formerly worked in show industry before she and her cousin started their firm.
Anna worked as a freelance creative producer with a focus on marketing and corporate campaigns, as well as on-air promotions and commercials, according to her LinkedIn profile.
She also worked for ESPN, moving up the ladder from coordinator of on-air promotions to producer of promotions. She created and produced content for the cable sports company in her line of employment.
Anna has an amazing history of higher education. She spent four years studying at Uppsala University in Sweden, where she received her master’s degree in economics in 2003.
She participated in tennis at Lincoln Memorial University from 2001 to 2002 on a scholarship. She attended Oxford Brookes University from 1988 to 1999 to study political science and English literature.
Hugh and Anna reportedly initially met at a party in London, according to Mirror. The charming actor reportedly “bowled over” the Swedish TV executive and even took her on a number of dates after seducing her.
It appears that Hugh has already found Anna, who would become his lifelong spouse, despite his earlier statement that he had no desire in settling down with only one partner. They have kept their relationship a secret.
Despite keeping their relationship a secret, the couple welcomed their first child, John Mungo Grant, in September 2012 thanks to the former ESPN producer.
Not long after John was born, Hugh had another child, but this time it was from a different lady. In December 2012, Felix Chang Hong Grant, born to Tinglan Hong, a Chinese woman, was welcomed into the world.
Felix appears to be the second child of Hugh and Tinglan. In December 2011, the couple gave birth to Tabitha Xaoi Xi Hong Grant, a daughter. It was unknown at the time whether Hugh was dating either woman.
Anna and Hugh divorced in 2013. Despite their separation, they continued to live close to one another in London, and the actor asserts that she is a terrific mother and that they are still good friends.
After some time, Hugh was able to accept his new position as a parent. Elizabeth Hurley, an actress, unintentionally revealed in a 2018 TV appearance that her ex-boyfriend Hugh is now a “father of five.”
Hugh had strong opinions on marriage. He expressed his thoughts on marriage to radio personality Howard Stern in 2016, saying that people are not designed to be in “monogamous, committed relationships.”
The well-known actor, who has a track record of famous relationships, told Stern that casual relationships are “the path to a lasting relationship.” But Hugh’s situation quickly changed.
Hugh doesn’t seem to be as skeptical of marriage now.
In May 2018, the 57-year-old English bachelor wed Anna in a low-key ceremony in Chelsea, London. Only a few people were present to witness the straightforward event.
Some Hugh’s followers argued that the Golden Globe Award nominee merely married Anna for “passport considerations,” despite the fact that most of them applauded his sudden marriage to his longtime lover.
This assertion followed a June 2018 article in USA Today that said the handsome actor detested standing in foreign immigration queues since it meant being parted from his Swedish wife.
Following the controversy, Hugh shared the real reason he married Anna on Twitter in June 2021. He tweeted the following while uploading a picture of the top Google search with its result circled:
“No, @Internet, I didn’t. Because I adore her, I married her.”
Hugh doesn’t seem to be as skeptical of marriage now. Hugh said that married life has been good to TV host Samantha Guthrie just one month after he wed Anna.
John, their oldest child, and their two other children, who were supposedly born in December 2015 and March 2018, make up Hugh and Anna’s family of three. The names of their two children were never disclosed by the couple.
Hugh is thrilled to be the father of Francis and Tabitha Xaoi Xi, Tinglan’s children, in addition to his three children with Anna. Hugh described having five children as the “nicest thing” that had happened to him in an interview with Jesse Cagle on People TV in January 2018.
Hugh Grant talked about the intense affection that he experienced after becoming a father. He claimed that he gets along well with the mothers of his kids. Hugh revealed in 2012 that having children alters one’s viewpoint to host Ellen Degeneres.
He stated: “All these years, everyone who asked Hugh, “Why don’t you have some kids?” was correct. Your life is changed by it. It has changed my life to have a child now. I suggest it. Take some!”
