Actor Sewell and Benitez Share Joyful Wedding Update

New York, NY — Actor Rufus Sewell married actress Vivian Benitez in July 2024, marking a joyful milestone in their relationship. The couple has largely kept their romance private but has shared glimpses through social media.

Benitez described their wedding day as “the perfect day,” sharing images of the ceremony held in a Welsh castle. “7.17.24 an absolutely perfect day,” she wrote on Instagram, detailing her laid-back bridal look. Her mother walked her down the aisle, and her first dance was to Frank Sinatra’s “My Way,” a tribute to her father, whom she remembered during the celebration.

The engagement took place in Rome, and Benitez spoke candidly about the media focus surrounding it. “It was just so weird for both of us. We were both shell-shocked,” she said during a May 2024 interview. “The Daily Mail ran a story about my dad being sick; it was just so disgusting.” She expressed her empathy for others in public relationships, acknowledging the challenges that come with fame.

The couple made their red carpet debut in 2021 at the New York premiere of the film “Old.” Benitez has shared earlier moments with Sewell, hinting they began dating in 2019. The pair recently appeared together at the Netflix premiere of “The Diplomat.”

In an interview on “In Good Company,” Benitez praised Sewell’s accomplishments. “He’s having a moment, and it’s so well deserved,” she said, emphasizing how much his support means to her. She addressed their 29-year age difference, noting societal perceptions: “We know there’s an age gap. Anyone that meets us knows. We are partners in every sense of the word.”

Benitez was born on December 6, 1996, and has appeared in various projects, including the thriller “Arsenal.” She began her career in modeling before transitioning to acting and has shared her experiences growing up in a Cuban-American household.
