What has Matthew Goode said about his wife?
Due to the couple preferring a low-key family life, there's not much been a huge amount said about Matthew's personal life. However, the actor did reveal in an interview with Red magazine back in 2018 that he's proud of his work-life balance.
"I have three children and a lovely wife and I just don't like being away from them. Of course, needs must occasionally. But I'm very lucky. I've been able to mix work and family," he said.
"When the kids go to school, I go fishing. Sophie used to ride a lot when she was a child and she recently got back into that. So we have a bit of fun on the side."
