00:00 Jamie Dornan and Amelia Warner's Relationship Timeline
00:04 Jamie Dornan and Amelia Warner have been married since 2013.
00:09 Jamie Dornan knew Amelia Warner would be his wife from the moment he met her.
00:14 The couple started dating in 2010 and later married in 2013, though as Dornan later revealed
00:21 during an appearance on Face to Face with Irish journalist Eamon Mollie, he knew the
00:25 pair would end up together from their first encounter.
00:28 "I didn't tell her that," he laughed.
00:31 "That would have been a bit too strong, I think, as an opener.
00:36 It was definitely an epiphany moment.
00:38 I feel like you'll have a few of those in your life."
00:42 The Irish actor, known for films like the Fifty Shades trilogy and Belfast, said that
00:47 he had known of the film composer, musician and former actress and always fancied her
00:52 before their run-in at a party.
00:54 "I had this weird thing where I always felt that if I met her that we would just get on,"
00:59 he said.
01:00 "It was just a strange thing.
01:02 Something about her eyes.
01:04 I just thought that we would work."
01:07 The couple have since become parents to three daughters, Dulce, Elva, and Alberta, though
01:12 they are very protective of their private life and offer few glimpses into their relationship
01:17 or family.
01:19 However, Dornan and Warner will step out together publicly from time to time to attend the occasional
01:25 award show or one of Dornan's movie premieres.
01:28 From a fateful first meeting in Los Angeles to raising three daughters together, here's
01:33 a breakdown of Jamie Dornan and Amelia Warner's relationship.

01:52 "I always fancied her, and we were doing karaoke and [a friend of ours said, 'Listen, Amelia
01:58 Warner's at a house party up by Los Feliz and she's single.'
02:02 I literally dropped the mic and was like, 'You know, ran for the hills.'"

02:13 Dornan and Warner married in April 2013 shortly after the Belfast actor proposed at a very
02:19 special spot.
02:20 "We met, we instantly got on great, and we chatted all night," he told Corden of their
02:25 first encounter.
02:26 "She was sat on the step of our friend's house, I just rocked up at this house, and two and
02:32 a half, three years later, I proposed to her on the very steps that we met.
02:38 Which was lovely."

02:53 In a later interview with the Belfast Telegraph, Dornan had nothing but praise for his wife
02:58 and how adaptable she was during the pregnancy.
03:01 "A lot of people would have had a s**t fit at 30-something weeks pregnant hearing, 'Darling,
03:07 we're going to Vancouver this week for four months, we're going to have a Canadian baby
03:12 and I'm going to do a film where, for parts of it, I will be naked,'" he said.
03:17 "That's a tough pitch but my wife is an incredible person."

04:18 One of my best friends said that one is a pet, two is a zoo," he said.
04:24 Dornan added that he's learned to adapt.
04:26 "It's been a big adjustment and it's definitely harder and you get less time to yourself,
04:31 but human beings are very good at adaptation," he said.
04:35 "You have to just go with it and accept less sleep and accept less time in your hands and
04:39 accept less reading of books and washing and all the usual things you do in a day."

05:02 "The funny thing is, pretty much everything you find in the red room, you've used a version
05:08 of, but not for the same effect," he told DeGeneres.
05:12 "Like, it's more for riding a horse or something.
05:16 Or doing up a bag that's particularly full and if you're using a buckle.
05:20 That kind of thing.
05:22 You have the skill set and you kind of surprise yourself.
05:25 Most of it, I have to admit, I was very green about all that stuff."
05:30 The actor also said he wouldn't be bringing home any of Grey's preferred tools to his
05:35 wife.
05:36 "I don't think she wants a used prop," he said of Warner.

06:18 when the kids are asleep."
