Scary movie fans will be excited as Smile's sequel is coming out October 18. This time, the plot will no longer follow Sosie Bacon, as British actress Naomi Scott takes on the lead role. The 31-year-old actress previously played Jasmine in the Disney live action remake of Aladdin, and she even played a lead role in the Charlie's Angels reboot.

Naomi celebrated her 10th wedding anniversary to Jordan Spence, a former soccer player, earlier this year. But who is he?
Here's everything you need to know about their relationship.
How they met

She told Teen Vogue: "We met when I was 15 or 16 at church. It was one of those things where we were friends, and then we dated for four years." The couple still attend church together, as her father is a pastor at their local church.
Married life

Jordan's soccer career

The former defender represented England at a number of youth levels, and previously played for West Ham United, Leyton Orient, Milton Keynes Dons and Ipswich Town. He retired in 2020.
Working together
The couple worked together to direct a music video for "Forget You" by musician Nick Brewer. It seemed that working together came completely naturally to Naomi and Jordan, as she said of the experience: "Our motto is just to say, 'I don’t know!' when we’re lost."
She added: "We're constantly bouncing ideas off of each other: for scripts, for visuals, for music. Collaborating with each other like this is just part of our everyday life.”
Supporting each other

The actress wasn't afraid to get confrontational while supporting her husband, as she got escorted off the premises of a match for standing up for Jordan. But it seemed that Naomi had no qualms about it, telling Jimmy Kimmel: "He was going at my hubs, what am I going to do?"
