It’s not often we come across a Hollywood romance that ends with both members of the
former couple viewing one another as their closest pal, but that’s the direction Claire Foy’s
marriage took after she separated from actor Stephen Campbell Moore.
The two share a daughter, Ivy Rose, and as Emmy-winning star of
“The Crown” says in Vogue’s November 2018 cover story, “I’m incredibly lucky that
I have a child with someone I deeply love and who is my best friend.”
This fall, Claire’s already earning gobs of critical praise for her role as Neil Armstrong’s wife,
Janet, in “First Man.” Next month, she returns to theaters as Lisbeth Salander in
“The Girl in the Spider’s Web,” a project she admits looked so challenging it initially made her think,
“I don’t know anybody who would take this on,” though that clearly didn’t stop her. Whether her 3-year-old will follow in the footsteps of Claire and Stephen, however, remains to be seen. “She loves [making] faces,” Claire muses, but when she’s asked if that means there might be “another actor in the family,” the star says she prefers to let Ivy Rose figure that out for herself, noting, “I don’t want people to put that on kids.”
