Sally Cecilia Hawkins: What’s Her Deal With Love & Life?

We’ve all been captivated by Sally Cecilia Hawkins on screen – from her heartbreaking mute performance in The Shape of Water to her recent, utterly unhinged foster mother role in Bring Her Back. She’s a chameleon, a two-time Oscar nominee, and a Golden Globe winner, but when it comes to her personal life, this British gem is practically a ghost!

Romance Rumours? Spoiler: There Aren’t Any!

Our tipsters and deep dives into the rumour mill confirm what many already suspect: Sally Hawkins keeps her private world fiercely under wraps. While she’s shared the screen with some of Hollywood’s most eligible bachelors, there’s absolutely no public record or even a whisper of a long-term relationship or marriage. No secret wedding, no scandalous affairs splashing across the tabloids. It seems our dear Sally is happily – and very privately – single, or at the very least, an expert at keeping Cupid’s arrows off the public radar!

But don’t think for a second that means she’s boring! Far from it! Did you know this accomplished actress was once an extra in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace while still in drama school? Talk about humble beginnings for a future Oscar nominee! And speaking of her genius, the role of Poppy in Happy-Go-Lucky was actually written specifically for her by director Mike Leigh, showing her incredible influence even early in her career.

Here’s another juicy tidbit: she was even in a lighthearted pact with good friend and fellow actor James Corden that if they were both single at 35, they would have babies and get married! While that ship sailed long ago (without publicly docking, of course!), it just shows the fun, quirky side of the typically reserved Sally Hawkins.

So, while we might not be reporting on a hot new romance or a walk down the aisle for Sally anytime soon, her dedication to her craft and her refreshingly private approach to celebrity life are definitely something to admire. Keep shining, Sally – on screen and off!
