James McAvoy has stunned fans with the revelation that he secretly welcomed his second child four years ago after marrying his wife, Lisa Liberati. The 46-year-old Scottish actor, known for his roles in X-Men and Split, shared the news in a new interview, where he also spoke about life with his 4-year-old son in London.
McAvoy, who is also the father of 15-year-old Brendon from his previous marriage to actress Anne-Marie Duff, has kept his private life largely under wraps. He and Lisa, whom he met on the set of Split in 2016, started dating a few years later before quietly tying the knot. Their marriage was revealed in 2019 when McAvoy referred to Lisa as his “wife” during an interview, but they had already secretly married at that point.
In an interview with The Guardian, McAvoy discussed how fatherhood has changed him. “I worry less. I’m a bit more philosophical. But it’s also harder because you’re just older and tireder,” he admitted.
James and Lisa’s relationship has been largely kept out of the public eye, and the couple has kept their new baby’s arrival a closely guarded secret. Despite this, the couple went public with their love in 2018, when they shared a photo together on Instagram during Halloween. The couple’s secrecy has sparked curiosity among fans, who are now eager to know more about their life as a family of four.
McAvoy’s previous marriage to Anne-Marie Duff ended in 2016 after a decade of marriage. The couple, who met on the set of Shameless, divorced after announcing their split publicly in May 2016. They share custody of their son, Brendan, and both have maintained a cordial relationship for the sake of their child.
Now, with McAvoy and Lisa raising their young son in London, it seems that the couple has been able to maintain a low-key life outside the media spotlight. However, fans are curious to know more about this unexpected chapter in McAvoy’s life.
