Miranda Hart, 51, reveals she had a ‘Hawaiian-themed’ wedding as she shares new details about intimate summer ceremony

As I delve into the heartwarming tale of Miranda Hart, her journey from singledom to matrimony at the ripe age of 51 leaves me with a profound sense of admiration and inspiration. Her story is a testament to the fact that it’s never too late to find love, even amidst life’s most challenging circumstances.


Miranda Hart has disclosed additional information about her private wedding, stating that it had a “Hawaiian” motif.

On the Graham Norton Show, set to air this coming Friday evening, the 51-year-old actress shared insights into discovering romance during her fifties.

Speaking of her wedding in July, she shared this: “It was an intimate event, and surprisingly, we chose a tropical Hawaiian theme complete with inflatable flamingos, coconut bowling, and a live steel band.

As I sat on the cozy sofa, surrounded by the talented individuals like Kevin Kline, Zoe Saldana, Selena Gomez, and Ncuti Gatwa, I shared a personal anecdote about my journey. After receiving a Lyme disease diagnosis, I experienced profound loneliness. However, meeting my loving partner became a beacon that helped me conquer the isolation that came with my health battle.

“During the pandemic, she received her diagnosis which was a solitary period for her. Consequently, she felt the need for companionship and offered a small prayer with minimal optimism. Miraculously, she found someone and got married in July.

Additionally, Miranda disclosed that she shared a unique bond with one of the attendees, for she found inspiration to pen her latest work from Selena, who battles an autoimmune disorder known as lupus.

She shared that after seeing Selena’s documentary ‘[My Mind and Me]’, it inspired her to be open and express her emotions related to her illness, and it also motivated her to continue writing.

As Selena became more emotional, Miranda went on to explain: “This book isn’t merely about illness; rather, it showcases my journey of discovering how to live abundantly, freely, and joyfully with purpose even within my specific circumstances.

‘I now feel I can be in the world as me. I feel fully free, if not fully recovered.’

She playfully commented on the title of her memoir as well, saying: “Boris Johnson’s book has been released, and here are my thoughts… Mine’s titled I Haven’t Been Entirely Honest with You, while his is called Unleashed. It seems we should exchange titles!

This week, the comedian left fans astonished as she disclosed that she got married at the age of 51. However, she also confessed that her relationship hasn’t been without its difficulties.

In her latest publication, Miranda admitted that she had a short-lived separation from the building surveyor, but eventually recognized the intensity of their emotions towards each other.

In her memoir, Miranda reminisced about how she found herself increasingly engrossed in the company of ‘The Boy From Bristol,’ a name she gave him, and as emotions intensified between them, they needed to temporarily pause their interactions.

We found ourselves unsure if the moment was propitious for us to formally become a couple. The decision was tough, and it caused me immense pain. I wasn’t sure if this was goodbye or if future events would allow our relationship to deepen.

She also mentioned that there was a momentary, dreadful vacancy due to the disconnect, but in the end, I believed things would turn out favorably. Regardless of which path it chose, I possessed the resilience to handle it.

She also had a gathering with a friend, which they referred to as a “miserable heart event,” during which they indulged in sampling various cheeses, and she was permitted to relax and enjoy herself.

Towards the end of the book Miranda joyfully affirms that the pair got back together. Moreover, The Boy From Bristol had a secret to unveil. His gruff demeanor and gloomy disposition didn’t deter him. Even though he observed significant mid-life changes, his inner critic wasn’t thrilled about it.

Despite the potential risks, none of my unconventional behavior deterred him. In fact, he returned to express his affection for me.

Miranda crossed paths with her future husband, who is a building surveyor, when he visited to address a mold issue in her expensive £2 million residence. She had previously thought her chances of finding love were extremely remote.

On Tuesday evening’s episode of The One Show, the real-life Bridget Jones shared that she got married to her building surveyor partner this year at the age of 51. He popped the question in Kew Gardens, located in West London.

In an effort to keep his true self hidden, the humorist refers to him as either ‘The Boy’ or ‘The Mould Man’ in his latest publication titled “I Haven’t Been Completely Honest With You.

The individual she encountered while he was fixing a mold issue in her expensive home is characterized as having a salt-and-pepper haired gentleman with refined facial features.

On Tuesday evening, live on The One Show, the comedian confirmed the news that she’s now married, following a burst of speculation about her relationship status.

51-year-old Miranda, in conversation with Alex Jones and Alex Scott, playfully hinted that she is now married by saying “someone has sealed the deal” or “a commitment has been made,” as she disclosed that she found her soulmate at the age of 49.

In her memoir, the actress elaborated on the romantic moment when her boyfriend proposed by describing it as an ordinary January day when they both decided to take a stroll through the garden.

At the bridge overlooking the tranquil lake, we both remained motionless when suddenly there was a solemn interruption: “Miranda.” I spun around, and in that moment, he knelt to one knee. “Miranda,” he continued.

I can’t recall anything else after I suddenly started crying, it seems like I may have agreed without fully listening to what he was saying, which would have been quite awkward if he were just tying his shoelaces.

She emotionally penned: ‘I didn’t think a traditional proposal would affect me so. 

However, despite my many flaws and foolishness, I found someone who saw through it all and chose to stoop low, gaze upon me with kindness, and vow to love and support me unwaveringly for the entirety of their life.

Later on, Miranda characterized her spouse as considerate, affectionate, and quite entertaining. However, she emphasized with flair: ‘He is not my boyfriend. He is my husband. Our marriage took place when I turned fifty-one.’

In an exhilarating moment on The One Show, I couldn’t help but share my joy: “I’ve tied the knot at 51, and let me tell you, it’s simply delightful!

She had previously suggested Tom Ellis for the role of Miranda on screen, and it wasn’t until she turned 49 that she found her true partner. However, she made clear that she would maintain confidentiality about her husband’s identity.

‘It’s a little undercurrent in the book, I’m not going to reveal how we met because that’s a little bit of a twist. He’s my best friend, we had the best fun and I’m just thrilled to be a young bride at 51.’

The star expressed her desire for readers of her book to find hope in her love story, as she shared; “Finding someone amidst a pandemic, battling chronic illness, and being confined to bed or home… I truly yearned to meet someone, I no longer wished to face life alone.

‘Meeting someone new isn’t like a romantic comedy plotline, but it does offer a glimmer of hope. No matter how dire your circumstances may seem, always remember that change is possible and there’s always a chance for something better.’

After appearing on The One Show, Miranda shared a playful peek at her husband on social media, saying in an Instagram video: “I have my best companion by my side, and it’s just wonderful! I’m also incredibly excited to return to the world of television and release a new book. So thank you all for your incredible support!

‘Giving a hearty high-five to my husband, a private moment shared. Ha! Here’s to his thoughtful nature. Keep smiling! A special tale of us is hidden in my upcoming book, can’t wait for you to read it. Hugs!’

Initially, whispers began circulating about the mysterious new man in her life while promoting her memoir. In classic fashion, she playfully hinted, “I won’t confirm if there’s a romantic tale within it…” (Indeed, there is – don’t tell anyone) Exciting!

Additionally, she’s been observed donning a wedding ring in recent Instagram posts and videos, which boast a million followers. Locals around her £2million residence in West London have reported sightings of her with an unidentified individual.

The Graham Norton Show airs on Friday at 10.40pm on BBC One. Also available on BBC iPlayer.
