Rosamund Pike appears to have let slip that she’s secretly married her partner of 16 years – after referring to him as her ‘husband’ in a new interview this week.
The Oscar-nominated actress, 46, used the term while discussing her recent trip to China with her partner, businessman Robie Uniacke, 65, and their two sons Solo, 13, and Atom, ten.
‘I went on a two-week trip to China with my family,’ she told the Travel Secrets podcast. ‘My children speak Chinese, which is a superpower. It means that I have an experience of China that I couldn’t otherwise have.’
She added: ‘We can dive into the midst of something and not fear getting lost or getting ripped off or any number of things. So we go into the night markets… My husband, mainly to amuse the children, ate a skewer of scorpions, grilled before him on the griddle.’
The surprise reference is the first time the Gone Girl star has publicly called Robie her ‘husband’ – fuelling mounting speculation that the famously private couple have secretly tied the knot.
It also comes despite Rosamund once insisting she had no intention of ever marrying following her painful broken engagement to British director Joe Wright in 2008.

During an appearance at Paris Fashion Week last month, the London-born star was spotted wearing a band on her ring finger
In recent weeks, the actress has been sporting a band on her ring finger – though she seems determined to keep people guessing.
During an appearance at Paris Fashion Week last month, the London-born star was spotted wearing a silver band on her ring finger as she strode through the French capital in jeans and a dark blazer.
The mystery deepened at last week’s New York premiere of Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, where Rosamund posed for photographers with a band clearly visible on her ring finger – before later shifting it to the middle finger of her left hand.
Getting married would be a dramatic U-turn for the actress, who has long championed an unconventional approach to love and relationships.
‘You try to do the right thing and the conventional thing, and it doesn’t work, and then you’re free again,’ she reflected in 2014.Â
‘It is interesting to break all the rules. I’m not married, I have a baby, and it feels infinitely more right.’
Rosamund has previously gushed about Old Etonian Robie’s intellect, calling him ‘a very astute mind’ and praising him as ‘very, very well read and articulate’.
The mathematical researcher and former heroin addict has six children.Â

As well as having sons with Rosamund, he has a son with ex-wife Emma Howard and three children with his second wife, interior designer Rose Uniacke.
Before finding happiness with Robie in 2009, Rosamund had two significant relationships that shaped her cautious views on marriage.
Her first love was actor Simon Woods, 45, whom she met while both were studying English at Oxford. They were together for two years before parting when he came to terms with his sexuality. He later built a life with his now-husband Christopher Bailey, the former chief executive of Burberry.
Shortly after, she fell for Atonement and Darkest Hour director Joe Wright.Â
The pair became engaged in 2007 after meeting on the set of Pride & Prejudice in 2005 and bought a home together – but the relationship crumbled while planning the wedding.
