Ewan’s married Mary! Or that’s what a private source reportedly tells People.com:
The former Fargo costars tied the knot over the weekend, a source tells PEOPLE, over four years after they were first romantically linked. The two share son Laurie, whom they welcomed in June 2021.
“It was a small wedding for family and close friends,” the source says. “They had an outdoor ceremony. It was lovely and joyful. The menu was farm-to-table. They are an adorable couple. They are pretty low-key and like their canyon life. They often hike and go to the beach.”
