Jamie Dornan knew Amelia Warner would be his wife from the moment he met her.

The couple started dating in 2010 and later married in 2013, though as Dornan later revealed during an appearance on Face to Face with Irish journalist Eamonn Mallie, he knew the pair would end up together from their first encounter.

"I didn't tell her that," he laughed. "That would have been a bit too strong, I think, as an opener. It was definitely an epiphany moment. I feel like you'll have a few of those in your life."

The Irish actor, known for films like the Fifty Shades trilogy and Belfast, said that he had known of the film composer, musician and former actress and always "fancied her" before their run-in at a party.

"I had this weird thing where I always felt that if I met her that we would just get on," he said. "It was just a strange thing. Something about her eyes. I just thought that we would work."

The couple have since become parents to three daughters, Dulcie, Elva and Alberta, though they are very protective of their private life and offer few glimpses into their relationship or family. However, Dornan and Warner will step out together publicly from time to time to attend the occasional awards show or one of Dornan's movie premieres.

On The Late Late Show with James Corden, Dornan revealed how he met the actress and film composer.

"She'd been an actor so I knew who she was," he said. "I always fancied her, and we were doing karaoke and ... a friend of ours said, 'Listen, Amelia Warner's at a house party up by Los Feliz and she's single.' I literally dropped the mic and was like, you know, ran for the hills."

"We met, we instantly got on great, and we chatted all night," he told Corden of their first encounter. "She was sat on the step of our friends' house. ... I just rocked up at this house, and two-and-a-half, three years later, I proposed to her on the very steps that we met. Which was lovely."

"A lot of people would have had a s--- fit at 30-something weeks pregnant hearing, 'Darling, we're going to Vancouver this week for four months — we're going to have a Canadian baby and I'm going to do a film where, for parts of it, I will be naked,' " he said. "That's a tough pitch but my wife is an incredible person."

Dornan added that he's learned to adapt. "It's been a big adjustment and it's definitely harder and you get less time to yourself, but human beings are very good at adaptation," he said.

Dornan's Fifty Shades of Grey character Christian Grey is obsessed with BDSM, but the actor told Ellen DeGeneres he is much less experienced in that department.

"The funny thing is, pretty much everything you find in the red room, you've used a version of, but not for the same effect," he told DeGeneres. "Like, it's more for riding a horse or something. Or doing up a bag that's particularly full and if you're using a buckle. That kind of thing. You have the skill set and you kind of surprise yourself. Most of it — I have to admit — I was very green about all that stuff."

The actor also said he wouldn't be bringing home any of Grey's preferred tools to his wife.

"I don't think she wants a used prop," he said of Warner.

He also shared that he wasn't opposed to Warner watching the Fifty Shades films.

"It's totally her choice, if she wants to, but I don't imagine why she'd want to see it," he added. "Yeah, I'm not going to tell her what she can and can't do, I'm very un-Christian-like in that way but no, I don't think she has any plans to see it."

"Part of me feels like [I need] to put a cork in it after this," he said. "But then, alternatively, I feel like we make really great kids. Maybe we'll just — if my wife's willing — do it until we can't do it anymore. It's all up to her. I do the fun bit."
