All eyes were on Carey Mulligan and her husband for a year, Marcus Mumford, as they strolled around Manhattan in April 2013. They first met at a Christian holiday camp when she was 12.

Childhood Connections: Letters of Love
Carey Mulligan celebrated her 12th birthday on May 28, 1997. Marcus Mumford, who is almost two years younger, turned ten on January 31, 1997.
A source told The Sun in 2011 that “Carey and Marcus began sending each other letters through their churches when they were kids.” How romantic!

Rekindling Romance: The Nashville Concert
Mulligan and Mumford started dating after reuniting at a Mumford & Sons concert in Nashville in February 2011, just a few months after she split with her former boyfriend, Shia LaBeouf.
According to a source interviewed by The Daily Mail, “Marcus invited Carey to watch him play a secret show in the basement of his friend Mike Harris’s home in Nashville. She sat in the front row, and while he was singing, Marcus looked down at Carey, and she blushed. It was clear they had chemistry.”
“At the end of the night, there were just the musicians, Jake, Carey, and the Mumford boys,” a source revealed to Us Weekly. “We had some pizza and just played music. Jake picked up a guitar, and Carey joined in on “Amazing Grace.” Marcus and Carey seemed really friendly.”
Carey Mulligan and Marcus Mumford became engaged in August 2011 and married in April 2012. The couple now has three children: Evelyn Grace, Wilfred, and a daughter born in 2023.
A Casual Style Icon
For one thing, it is not usual to see both of them together out and about in New York. For another, Carey looked super cute even in her “stroll” outfit.

Some actresses dress so well on the red carpet only to flop in laid-back, casual ensembles. But not Carey. She keeps wowing us with her comfortable, achievable casual looks, opening windows and doors for us, ordinary people, to copy her impeccable style.
The An Education actress wore a leather jacket with unique neckline details, ribbed sleeves, and brown suede material. She worked it well with her plaid button-down top, black jeans, and flats. The sunnies gave her outfit celebrity appeal.
