Charlotte Riley and Tom Hardy got engaged in 2010. And after a long engagement, they tied the knot in 2014. In addition to the support of his wife, Hardy mentioned that being a father helped him keep his sobriety as undoubtedly, fatherhood proved to be a powerful force in his life. The actor has three children; his eldest, Louis Thomas Hardy, from his ex-partner Rachael Speed, and two kids from Riley — whose identities have never been made public by their parents. The couple is among celebrities who have kids nobody knows about.
Despite this, the actor has been very vocal about his parenthood. "I wouldn't say it saved my life, but it definitely changed my life . . . There was no longer very much time for me to think about myself anymore . . . because there is somebody now on the planet who really needs me to get my act together and focus on something that is more important than me," Hardy told The Daily Mail.
Meanwhile, in another interview with Esquire UK, the "Inception" star expressed he began taking a more active role in parenting because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The lockdown offered time for Hardy to reflect on life. The actor noted that as he gets older, he has a clearer understanding of what's important, such as one's family and the simple joys in life; which for him are jiu-jitsu and sourdough.
