Keeley Hawes and her husband Matthew Macfayden seem to be going from strength to strength.
The pair care for their two children, Ralph and Maggie Macfayden, as well as Keeley’s son Myles from her previous marriage.
Let’s get to know the famous family.
Maggie Macfayden
Maggie Macfayden is Keeley and Matthew’s firstborn child.
She was welcomed into the world back in 2004, which makes her around 17 years old now.
When she was younger, Maggie spent a bit more time in the limelight with her parents. But as she’s got older, she’s generally preferred to live her life away from the cameras.
Maggie’s currently finishing up her studies in London, but Keeley and Matthew haven’t spoken publicly about what their daughter plans to get up to next.

A couple of years after Maggie was born, Keeley and Matthew had their second child Ralph. And unlike Maggie, he seems a bit happier about spending time in the public eye!
Despite being the younger sibling, Ralph has been spotted hanging out with his parents on set, and has even attended a few premieres over the years.
Previous Marriage
Before mum Keeley got hitched with Matthew, the Line of Duty star was married to cartoon artist Spencer McCallum.
Not much else is known about Spencer, but it’s generally thought he works as an animator now.
Keeley and Spencer had their only child Myles back in 1999. It seemed like all was going well between the pair, and they then got married in 2001.
But things were on borrowed time for the newlyweds.
Spencer and Keeley quickly separated, and divorced in 2004.

Sandra Bullock Son: Getting to know Louis Bardo Bullock
Keeley met her now-husband Matthew Macfadyen on the set of Spooks– while she was still married to Spencer McCallum.
Insiders on the set of the spy drama said it was only ‘a matter of time’ before a relationship began.
“There was an obvious attraction between them. It’s been a difficult situation for them.”
The pair became close while appearing as undercover MI5 agents on the show, and just 8 weeks after marrying Spencer, Keeley Hawes left him.
The actress went on to marry Matthew whilst seven months pregnant with Maggie Macfayden in a small ceremony.
Unsurprisingly, Keeley got a LOT of criticism for her decision to ditch Spencer for her castmate. But at the time, it didn’t seem she was that bothered.
The actress told the Telegraph:
“I love being married to Matthew, and I know Matthew loves being married too.”
Acting Career
Keeley Hawes grew up on a council estate in Marylebone, and was discovered by a model scout at Select Model Management.
A few months later, she started working for Cosmopolitan magazine before obtaining a grant and enrolling in the Sylvia Young Theatre School.

From here, the actress began to pick up roles in BBC adaptations, including Our Mutual Friend, Wives and Daughters, and The Blonde Bombshell.
In the late 1990s, Keeley also made several appearances in music videos for hit bands Suede and James.
But this wasn’t enough for Keeley. She continued to audition for lead roles with the BBC, and eventually landed a part in the hit drama Spooks.
From here, Keeley’s status soared. The actress then made cameos in the likes of The Vicar of Dibley, as well as Death at a Funeral.
She’s also had famous roles in the likes of Ashes to Ashes, where she played DI Alex Drake, and The Casual Vacancy, which was JK Rowling’s first novel post-Harry Potter.
Keeley has been no stranger to critical acclaim over the years, and she gained plenty of accolades for her performances in both The Bodyguard and Line of Duty.
She’s currently working on yet another BBC drama called Crossfire, which is slated for release sometime this year.
