Mar 2, 2025
By the time Jodie Whittaker was cast as the lead in Doctor Who, she’d already carved out an impressive career.
Born in West Yorkshire, she graduated from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in 2005.
After appearing in productions of The Storm and The Seagull, her first major screen role came in the 2006 film Venus, going on to appear in Black Mirror, One Day and Broadchurch.
In 2017 she was announced as the Thirteenth Doctor in the long-running series, making history as the first female in the role, holding it until stepping down in 2022 after three seasons and five specials.
Before binging that show, here’s everything we know about the actress’ personal life away from the cameras.
Who is Jodie Whittaker married to, and do they have children?
Jodie, 42, met her husband Christian Contreras, a Belizean-American actor and writer while in drama school.
After they were married in 2008, the couple welcomed a daughter in 2015, followed by their second child in 2022. They have never publicly shared the names of their children.
What does he do for work?
Christian is best known for acting in films and shows including Odyssey, Halo: Nightfall, Fury, Zero Dark Thirty, Foundation, The Man Who Fell to Earth and Breeders.
He most recently played Jerry Knox in the Disney Plus series A Thousand Blows, which stars Stephen Graham.
