"Game of Thrones" and "The Tudors" actress Natalie Dormer and "Vikings: Valhalla" actor David Oakes are now legally linked: They confirmed the news — correcting reports that they'd married — in a joint statement on David's Instagram Story on March 6. "Contrary to recent reports about us getting married, three weeks ago we entered into a civil partnership during an intimate and private ceremony in Bath — and we couldn't be happier!" the couple shared. In England, a civil partnership has the same responsibilities as a marriage but is different in that it is entered into by signing a civil partnership document while marriage is entered into by exchanging vows.
Natalie and David met while starring in the play "Venus in Fur" in 2017 and went public as a couple in 2019. They welcomed a daughter in 2021.
