The English actress, who has done voice work as Lara Croft in the Tomb Raider video games, revealed to her followers in 2017 that she and her beau had welcomed their daughter Hayden into the world.
“We have a new great love in our lives… our sweet baby girl…Hayden,” the new mom captioned a black-and-white clip of the pair with the newborn.
In January 2018, the couple announced that they were engaged.

This past August, the couple tied the knot in an intimate California coastline ceremony in front of 70 of their closest friends and family (including former Grey’s costar Jessica Capshaw!).
“The thing that I always said to Matt is that I just wanted to see the ocean,” the actress, 35, exclusively told PEOPLE prior to the wedding. “That was my one thing.”
“We’re just ready to do the damn thing,” she added. “We kind of already feel married because we have a 2-year-old. But there’s something romantic to us about solidifying that family unit by having the ceremony and actually having Hayden present. To be honest, I’m just excited to get into that new normal of married life.”
