Miranda Hart has shared the heartwarming news that she has married her “best friend” at the age of 51, calling herself a “young bride.” The actress and comedian made the announcement while promoting her new book, “I Haven’t Been Entirely Honest With You”, on The One Show.
Speaking to hosts Alex Jones and Alex Scott, Hart revealed how special this moment was for her, especially after experiencing some challenging years due to health issues. Despite these struggles, she expressed joy in finding love later in life, sharing that someone had “put a ring on it.”
In her candid discussion, Hart opened up about her battle with Lyme disease, which had kept her mostly bedridden for the past few years. The comedian acknowledged that the illness had been difficult, but was quick to add that it hadn’t been “all doom and gloom” since she found love during this time.
Her lighthearted comment about becoming a bride at 51 reflected her upbeat attitude and optimism, even in the face of adversity. She called the experience “so lovely” and spoke about how grateful she felt.
Hart, best known for her self-titled sitcom “Miranda”, which ran from 2009 to 2015, revealed that she met her husband during the COVID-19 pandemic, while she was struggling with her chronic illness. She explained that she hadn’t been able to leave her bed or the house for much of that period, but love still found its way into her life.
Reflecting on her on-screen character, she mentioned how she had written the role of Gary for the show but didn’t meet her real-life partner until she was 49. This parallel between her fictional life and real life is a theme that subtly appears in her new book.
After her appearance on The One Show, Hart took to social media to thank her supporters for their kind messages. She expressed how “touching” the well-wishes had been, emphasizing the joy she feels in having her best friend by her side for life.
Additionally, she was thrilled to be returning to television and launching her new book, and she expressed her gratitude for the continued support from her fans. The announcement was met with excitement from her followers, who were overjoyed by the news of her marriage.
In a playful moment shared on social media, Hart high-fived her husband, who was just out of frame, joking that fans had received an “exclusive” look at his hand. This humorous interaction reflected the playful spirit that has always defined her public persona. It also gave fans a small glimpse into her personal life, which she has kept relatively private over the years, making this revelation even more special.
As for her health, Hart’s battle with Lyme disease continues to be a challenge. The disease, spread by infected ticks, can cause symptoms such as a rash, flu-like illness, and long-term issues like tiredness and body aches.
Despite these struggles, Hart has remained resilient, focusing on her health, her marriage, and her creative work. Her new book, published by Penguin Books, is set to release on October 10, giving fans more insight into her personal journey.
