Actress Rebecca Ferguson has been a big name in Hollywood since she landed a role in the Mission: Impossible franchise alongside Tom Cruise. But her husband of five years, Rory St. Clair Gainer, doesn’t have a career in the spotlight.
According to Extra TV, Ferguson started dating the businessman in 2016, but details of their relationship are unknown. It remains unclear exactly how they met.
Previously, Ferguson was in a relationship with Swedish businessman Ludwig Hallberg. They met in 2003 and began dating shortly after. In 2007, Ferguson gave birth to their son, Isac Hallberg. They broke up in 2015.
Ahead, everything to know about Gainer and his relationship with his movie-star wife, Ferguson.
Gainer and Ferguson got married in 2018.
In January 2019, Ferguson revealed that she and Gainer had a private, intimate wedding towards the end of 2018. Her 16-year-old son served as the ring bearer.
“I think we both wanted to step over all thresholds. Also, I’m not very religious. I believe in love,” she told Extra TV. “It was more for us and our family. We rented a cottage with friends and family and Wellington boots and big wooly socks and big ruggy jumpers, games, snooker, table tennis.”
“It’s perfect,” Extra’s Tanika Ray replied. “Were you in a wedding dress?”
“No!” Ferguson answered as if the question appalled her. “I wore a beautiful wedding skirt that I can shorten off, get some pockets in, and I’ll use it in Greece for the summer.”
The actress emphasized that married life didn’t change anything for her and Gainer, but there was one minor difference that she enjoyed.
“What’s fun is we keep on saying, ‘Hey, hubby. Hey, wifey.’ You know, it’s fun,” she joked.
Gainer and Ferguson have a child together.
In an interview with Moviefone, Ferguson revealed that she was pregnant while filming Mission: Impossible — Fallout. In August 2017, costar Tom Cruise broke his ankle on set, halting production and leading Ferguson to have to shoot while she was several months pregnant.
“I think I was, when we wrapped, I was five, six months pregnant,” she shared. “So, yeah. I had a big bump while shooting.”
The star debuted her pregnant belly on the red carpet of the 2018 BAFTA Awards in February.
In July 2018, a rep for Ferguson confirmed with People that she had welcomed a baby girl, Sage, with her husband.
In a March 2024 interview with Irish radio station U105, Ferguson shared a funny story about her daughter.
“So, it’s Valentine’s Day, right?” she recalled. “My daughter was in a shop with my husband…She goes up to a card, and she goes, ‘This is perfect for mummy.’ It’s a picture of Timothée [Chalamet], who she thought was her dad because it looks like my husband, and it says, ‘Will you Wonka my Willy?’”
“But she doesn’t get it. She’s like, ‘Oh, it’s Willy Wonka! My Willy dad.’ And I’m like, ‘No,’” she added, laughing.
Ferguson and Gainer are frequently seen out together.
While the married couple likes to keep details of their relationship private, they do give the public glimpses into their lives.
Most recently, on February 26, Ferguson and Gainer were photographed out in New York City. They were dressed casually, with Ferguson in light-wash jeans, a matching denim jacket, and black loafers. Gainer was dressed in a black puffer jacket, black jeans, sneakers, and a beanie. They both wore similar styles of tinted sunglasses.
Gainer is a supportive husband.
In February 2024, Gainer helped style his wife’s look for the New York premiere of Dune: Part Two. She told Harper’s Bazaar that he picked up some accessories from their local pet supply store. To go with her edgy, sheer lace ensemble, Gainer got her a stack of silver dog chains.
He also frequently attends events with Ferguson. While she opted to pose for photos by herself, she later posted a video of Gainer holding up an umbrella to shade her from the sun on the red carpet of the Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One world premiere.
