Rupert Everettis officially an ideal husband in real life!

In his newTatlercover story interview, the actor opened up about his wedding to Henrique, a Brazilian accountant, earlier this summer. Everett, 65, told the British magazine that he’s been with his new husband for a while, though the Golden Globe nominee wasn’t always certain he wanted to get hitched.

“I have always hated weddings, although I do love funerals. But when you get older … I have seen so many problems that gay couples face, so it’s really more about forward-thinking, as we have been together for a long time now,” theMy Best Friend’s Weddingstar told the outlet.

He added, “And I don’t know how long I’m going to last. Well, being tall, I’ve never seen a 95-year-old 6ft 5in person. You just never know what’s going to happen.”

Everett’sTatlerfeature also included details about his wedding day. He and Henrique married at London’s Camden Town Hall and followed the ceremony with a meal at local Italian restaurant Ciao Bella.

Everett has been previously outspoken about his hesitance to get married. In a 2020 interview with U.K. publicationThe Times, he voiced his distaste for wedding but rolled it back in the context of his current relationship. At the time, he told the outlet that he “wouldn’t mind getting married now.”

“I’d marry my boyfriend. Although I would only have two or three people to my wedding," Everett explained in the interview from nearly four years ago. He also claimed that when the time came, he would be the one to propose to Henrique, who has largely kept a low profile out of the spotlight.

In 2009,The Next Best Thingstar spoke toThe Guardianabout the dynamics of his romance with the television presenter, who died in 2000. “She was married. I was gay. These constraints operated like a kind of safety net,” he told the outlet. “We were both narcissists. We both loved to act up and we adored being looked at.”
