Actor James McAvoy confirms his secret marriage to Lisa Liberati: Complete story here!  

Best known for portraying Charles Xavier in the X-Men franchise, James McAvoy is a Scottish actor who recently put a long-speculated rumor about his personal life to rest. McAvoy was rumored to be secretly married to personal assistant Lisa Liberati in 2019, speculation he vehemently denied until recently.  

McAvoy was born on August 21, 1979, in Glasgow, Scotland. He made his acting at the age of 15 in the 1995 film The Near Room and later starred in Out in the Open and Wimbledon. The actor has been married once before and even shares a son with his ex-wife. Ahead is a look inside McAvoy's relationship history and his newly-revealed conjugal life with Liberati.

McAvoy, 42, was already a renowned star with credits in X-Men: First Class, X-Men: Days of Future Past, X-Men: Apocalypse, and The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby, when he was cast to star as Kevin Wendell Crumb in M. Night Shyamalan's Split, a thriller project that turned romantic for McAvoy when he met Lisa, a production assistant to Shyamalan.

The Sun then reported that the Scottish actor and Liberati, a native of Philadelphia, started seeing each other after months of working together in the thriller. The X-Men actor was in an unhappy marriage with his now ex-wife Anne-Marie Duff at the time, and the former spouses were undergoing rocky marriage when James started a romantic venture with Lisa.

"James and Lisa are having a lot of fun together and behave like a pair of lovestruck teenagers when they are together," an insider reported about the new lovebirds. But before James's name was romantically linked with the Oscar-nominated director's assistant, he was also briefly rumored to have dated his X Men: Apocalypse co-star Alexandra Ship. But McAvoy seemingly chose Lisa over Ship.

While talking about his current role, Cyrano de Bergerac, a character James is set to reprise since he first played it on stage in 2019, McAvoy casually unveils the long-suspected relationship with Liberati. The actor's statement, however, contradicts the sources of the time who claimed they started seeing each other in months. McAvoy says he and Lisa started dating after years and recently got married.
