According to Celebrity Hook, Highmore’s other half is a young British woman named Klarissa Munz, who has managed to stay out of the spotlight since they reportedly met when he was starring on A&E’s Bates Motel. She’s believed to be a web designer who most likely attended Cambridge University with Highmore—as evidenced by photos that have been compiled and shared online by the aptly named Instagram account “@FreddieHighmoresGirl.” It is also a case of life imitating art, Highmore has followed in the footsteps of Dr. Shaun Murphy, his GoodDoctor character, who is preparing to walk down the aisle on that show’s fifth season. In the much-anticipated plotline, Dr. Murphy is set to wed longtime love Leah (Paige Spara) and recently had a large boisterous engagement party to share their upcoming nuptials with the staff at St. Bonaventure Hospital. In real life, the 30-year-old Highmore’s recent marriage slid under the radar, only becoming public knowledge during the actor’s recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! when the late-night host noticed that Highmore was wearing a wedding band. “Yes, it is a wedding ring. Yes, I got married,” Highmore told Kimmel in late September 2021. “It’s funny, ever since I’ve been wearing this ring people have been asking me if I’m married, so I figured; I should clarify it.” According to Enstars.com, the first @FreddieHighmoresGirl Instagram post was shared on Sep. 23, 2018, and it featured Highmore posing with Munz during the Golden Globes Awards. Apparently, Highmore’s wife is a Cambridge graduate who “reportedly took theology and religious studies but works as a junior web developer.” Munz had been spotted with Highmore and his colleagues on set, including the other actors and producers on Bates Motel. The same woman also attended the Critics Choice Awards with him multiple times. Munz has also reportedly been spotted in Rome with a diamond ring on her left hand, when Highmore was in Italy to film his Leonardo series. The actor, best known for TV’s The Bates Motel and the movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, said on Kimmel that his wife is British (like him) but did not disclose her identity, nor how they met. Here’s what we know about Freddie Highmore’s marriage and dating history.
Who is Freddie Highmore’s wife?
Although we know Highmore’s wife is British (because he said so on Kimmel), we now have a name: Klarissa Munz. Since Highmore and his new bride seem keen on maintaining their privacy, it’s highly unlikely we’ll see them make their marriage “Instagram official” by revealing photos or details anytime soon either, according to Distractify. In fact, Highmore stressed to Kimmel that he’s not going to yell and scream about his love life like some over-the-top American actors have done. (coughTomCruisecough). “I’m not gonna jump up and down on the couch on the talk show and express my excitement that way. I know that you do that in America," Highmore explained. “But I’m happy as a Brit can be and I’m married to a very wonderful woman, so yes, I feel very happy.” Highmore also went on to tell Kimmel that he was still getting accustomed to the “terminology” of being legally bound to another, and that saying “married man” sounds very old, while saying “my wife” sounds very “possessive.” He added, “We don’t really use that yet, but we just point to the rings and be like, “Here, look, make or draw your own conclusions.” (To which Kimmel replied, “You’re going to have to loosen up a little.”)
When did Freddie Highmore get married?
Your guess is as good as ours! Highmore may be one of the most private Hollywood celebs around. For example, while he has an official Instagram account, he’s never posted anything there; in fact, his IG bio reads, “This is the official Freddie Highmore account. Freddie is not currently active on this or any other social media platform.”
Who has Freddie Highmore dated?
Sarah Bolger
Apparently, Highmore dated Sarah Bolger (who played his sister in TheSpiderwick Chronicles) when he was a teenager. They began dating in 2006 while spending time with one another off-camera and broke up in 2008, after the film’s release, according to Distractify. The reason for the breakup was never revealed.
Dakota Fanning
Reports reveal that Highmore briefly dated Dakota Fanning in the summer of 2009, when they were spotted having dinner at a hotel in California.
Abigail Breslin
While Abigail Breslin and Highmore never acknowledged a romance between them and were never photographed together, they were rumored to have dated.
Emma Roberts
While Highmore and Emma Roberts had great chemistry in the 2011 movie The Art of Getting By, she has said in interviews that they never dated, but were just really good friends who “just connect well together.”
What is Freddie Highmore’s early life and his acting history?
Highmore made his movie debut at the age of 7 in 1999 with the comedy, Women Talking Dirty. Most of his family worked in the media or entertainment; notably, his mother, Sue Latimer, is a talent agent who brought Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe into the forefront. Freddie’s father, Edward, was a renowned British actor. His younger brother, Bertie, is not involved in acting.
