Before Marcus Mumford and Carey Mulligan became one of Hollywood’s most private couples<\/a>, they were just two kids who met at Bible camp.<\/p>\n

The Mumford & Sons frontman recalled on the “SmartLess<\/a>” podcast how a chance childhood meeting eventually blossomed into romance years later after the pair reconnected as adults.<\/p>\n

The future couple first crossed paths at a church Bible camp, when Mumford was 10 and Mulligan was 12, and became pen pals.<\/p>\n

“And she still has the journal entry from the day we met where I \u2013 my cousin was there, who was two years older, who was age appropriate for her,” Mumford recalled. “And he got an eight-and-a-half out of 10. But I, who was definitely not underlined boyfriend material, got a nine out 10.”<\/p>\n

The flattering review didn’t spark an instant romance, but it planted the seed for a relationship that would take years to come together.<\/p>\n

He recalled the two “stayed in touch as kids” before reconnecting in their twenties on Facebook. Mulligan bought a ticket to Laura Marling’s show years later, where Mumford & Sons was also performing.<\/p>\n

“We started shouting sort of an hour before Laura went on and then [Mulligan] was like, ‘Oh, Mumford. I knew a kid called Mumford,'” the singer-songwriter recalled.<\/p>\n

Mulligan left a note with Mumford’s tour manager that had her email address on it and the rest is history.<\/p>\n

After dating for roughly five months, Mumford proposed to Mulligan. The two married in front of friends and family<\/a> in Somerset, England on April 21, 2012. Mumford and Mulligan share three children together, two daughters and a son.<\/p>\n

The couple is notoriously private about their 14-year marriage.<\/p>\n

“Marcus is the only thing that\u2019s mine that I can keep totally away, so I try to,”\u00a0Mulligan told Vogue<\/a> in 2015.<\/p>\n

Throughout the years, Mumford and Mulligan have focused on making their marriage<\/a> “the priority” in their lives.<\/p>\n

“We said, \u2018The odds are stacked against us. Let\u2019s make that our great work and everything else can come from that, right?\u2019” Mumford told GQ in 2022. “The reason I think people don\u2019t stay married is because they don\u2019t realize how much work it takes.”<\/p>\n
