Girls and women around the world are saddened with the news that "Sherlock" and "Star Trek: Into Darkness" actor Benedict Cumberbatch is engaged, but who is the mystery lady that he'll be tying the knot with?
Ever since he first appeared on screens as the 21st century version of Sherlock Holmes in the BBC series, Cumberbatch has been a huge hit with women around the world, who've fallen in love with his deep voice and amazing acting chops. Today, these ladies are disappointed after the official announcement that Benedict Cumberbatch is engaged!
According to the British press, in news outlets such as the BBC, Benedict Cumberbatch's engagement was announced through The Times newspaper, where it appeared on the page 57 of the publication from Wednesday, November 5. A very sweet and old fashioned way to announce it!
The woman Benedict Cumberbatch's engaged to is called Sophie Hunter, and she's a British theater director who's also taken a dip into acting in the past, both in the stage and on screen. She has appeared in productions such as Vanity Fair, Midsomer Murders and Torchwood.
Now that Benedict Cumberbatch is engaged, obviously the international press has been gathering all the possible information they can find on the couple - but it seems that Benedict and Sophie have been keeping their romance low-key, and it's unknown for how long they've been a couple.
However, it seems that they were first seen together was over the past summer, when they attended the French Open together last June, according to The Daily Mail. They've also been seen having dinner in London and it's believed that she was Benedict's date when he recently attended the wedding of an old friend - it seems, however, that she's wanted to remain somewhat in the dark due to the spotlight surrounding her beau.
While the fact that Benedict Cumberbatch is engaged may come as terrible news for some, surely the Emmy-winning actor will be very happy with his future bride!
