Susie Hariet Is Dan Stevens' Wife Whom He Met in 2006 More about Her

When they met, Susie Harriet, Dan Stevens' wife, connected with him instantly. The couple have relocated several times and are now parents to three beautiful children.

Dan Stevens is an actor famous for his role in the fan-favorite series, "Downton Abbey." Some people might not know that Dan's wife also dabbled in the entertainment industry, and her name is Susie Harriet. She is less famous than him, but she's already appeared in several projects.

Susie's IMDb account has limited information about her but lists some projects she's worked on over the years. In 2010, she starred in "Forget Me Not" and "The Dark Room." It doesn't seem like she's a full-time actress. However, years before, in 2007, Susie also appeared in "Worth."

In August 2011, Dan gave some insight into his wife's career when he revealed that she is a jazz vocalist-turned-singing teacher. He also shared that she is South African by birth. Speaking about their marriage, he said:

"I'm lucky to be married to someone who entirely gets what I do."

Susie's husband said she's sympathetic to his life as an actor, having grown up in the industry because her mother was one. When the couple first met, their connection was immediate, and they've never been separated since.

Where Did Susie Harriet Meet Dan Stevens?

Susie met Dan in 2006 when they featured in different theaters in Sheffield, England. The actor was starring in a play called "The Romans in Britain," while his future wife was also appearing in a musical, and according to him:

"We met, and it was pretty instant."

Dan believed Susie's lack of understanding of the British class system might've been part of what attracted him to her. Even ten years after their meeting, she still didn't understand the class system, and he finds it refreshing that she has the same "level of bemusement about it" as he does.

Fatherhood made him rethink how he approached his job, as it now felt more and less important.

Dan proposed to Susie in Walberswick, Suffolk, a place that is now important to them. In 2011, the couple also celebrated his parents' 40th wedding anniversary there. Since getting married, Dan and his wife have lived in different places.

Where Do Susie Harriet and Dan Stevens Live?

In 2012, Susie's husband confirmed they were living in New York. He said they loved living there and enjoyed the museums and parks in the area. At one point, they went on the Staten Island Ferry to see what their then-toddler daughter calls the "Statue of Libertry."

Another activity Susie's significant other enjoyed with their daughter was boating on Central Park's lake. The actor and his wife, who lived in the United Kingdom, relocated to New York after he landed a role in Brooklyn.

In 2022, Dan revealed that six years after moving to New York, they relocated to Los Angeles, where they've stayed put. Speaking about a daughter, here's a brief look at the couple's children.

How Many Children Does Dan Stevens' Wife Have with Him?

Susie's first child with her husband is a baby girl named Willow. On becoming a first-time parent, Dan said every actor should do it and laughed while revealing that he knew enough actors who were practicing.

Fatherhood made him rethink how he approached his job. Susie's husband wished to spend as much time as possible with his family, but he was also aware that he was the primary earner. He also wished for their daughter to be proud of him and be able to point to the screen, noting, "'There's Daddy.'"

By 2012, Susie and the star, who acted alongside Maggie Smith in "Downton Abbey," were parents to two children with the addition of their son, Aubrey, then two months old.

The last addition to Dan's family was conceived before they relocated to their new home. The family of five is now happily content in their new residence.
