Eleanor tied the knot with Will in 2022. Though the Poldark star is known for keeping her personal life private, she delighted fans by sharing a series of stunning snapshots from their special day on Instagram. 

"When a Miss becomes a Mrs. I love you," she wrote. "The best weekend of our lives. The biggest thank you to all our family and friends and of course to you, @pronovias , @euridge_ and @debeersofficial." 

In a recent interview with Harper's Bazaar, Eleanor opened up about the pressures of dealing with fame. She said: "I live a very normal life. I just want to be known as an actress for doing good work. I don't want people to know what I had for breakfast or what the latest in my life is.

"It's so much more interesting as an actress if you don't know absolutely everything about somebody. 

"But in terms of dealing with any fame, it's always lovely when someone approaches you and tells you that your work has meant something to them." 

The star added: "But other than that, I tend to kind of fly under the radar a little bit and just concentrate on my work and enjoying my life."
