Now, this is a story of love, fate, and a little twist of Hollywood magic! Emma Thompson, the beloved 60-year-old actress, is happily married to her fellow thespian, Greg Wise. But here's the kicker—this beautiful union almost didn’t happen, all thanks to another iconic star, Kate Winslet. Can you imagine that? Let me tell you how it all unfolded.
How Fate Stepped In
Back in January 2020, Emma Thompson appeared on The Graham Norton Show and spilled the beans on what went down during the filming of Sense and Sensibility in 1995. Now, this movie also starred Kate Winslet, the Titanic icon herself. Here’s the scoop: Before Greg took on the role in the film, he consulted a friend who had a reputation for being a bit mystical. This friend foretold that Greg would meet his future partner on the set of Sense and Sensibility. But here's the twist—Greg didn’t think it was going to be Emma because, well, she was married at the time and significantly older than him. So, naturally, he assumed it might be Kate Winslet. How’s that for a Hollywood plot twist?
When Kate Met Greg
So, what exactly happened? Well, Greg, in his quest to find love, took Kate Winslet on a date to the Glastonbury music festival. But guess what? It didn’t go as planned. Kate was utterly bored, and Greg realized quickly that this wasn’t the right match. He thought to himself, "Who could this mysterious partner be?" But then, as life would have it, things took an unexpected turn. Greg and Emma's paths crossed in a way that was truly meant to be, leading to a partnership that has now lasted over two decades. Incredible, isn’t it?

Greg once explained to Express how Kate played a pivotal role in their love story. She pointed out that Greg and Emma were perfectly suited for each other and even told Greg that Emma’s previous marriage was over. Everything fell into place just as Greg’s mystical friend Helen had predicted. Talk about destiny!
A Love Story For The Ages
The couple tied the knot in 2003 and have been inseparable ever since. They’ve shared two beautiful children—a daughter named Gaia and an adopted son named Tindy. This isn’t the first time Emma has opened up about Greg, her love of a lifetime. She once revealed how Greg had a profound impact on her life. “Work saved me, and Greg saved me,” Emma recalled. “He picked up the pieces and put them together again.” Now that’s what I call a true partnership!
