Game of Thrones star Natalie Dormer ‘marries fiancé David Oakes in secret ceremony’

Game of Thrones star Natalie Dormer has reportedly tied the knot with fiancé David Oakes.

The couple, who share a young daughter together, are believed to have said ‘I do’ last month and toasted to their new chapter with an intimate dinner at Roth Bar & Grill in Bruton, Somerset.

A source told MailOnline: “Natalie and David kept the wedding very low key, they didn’t want it to be a huge bash though it certainly was still a day to remember.

“They just wanted to share the moment with a select group of people as they’re very private individuals. But it was a beautiful ceremony.”

The Standard has contacted Natalie Dormer’s rep for comment.

Dormer, 41, and the Vikings: Valhalla star, 39, began dating in 2019, two years after starring together in the play, Venus in Fur.

The TV star was previously engaged to director Antony Byrne, but the pair split in 2018 after 11 years together.

Dormer, who played Margaery Tyrell in the HBO fantasy series, gave birth to her and Oakes’ daughter in January 2021.

The Tudors star reflected on motherhood, describing her little one as “an absolute joy” while also joking she got pregnant during the pandemic because there was little else to do.

Speaking on the That’s After Life! podcast, she said: “It’s the perfect thing to do during a pandemic, is get pregnant and have a baby.

“I feel like I’m probably being a bit of a cliché. She’ll probably be sitting in a bar in 30 years’ time on a date going, ‘Yeah, I’m a Covid baby!’ I think there’s going to be lots of Covid babies, because what else can you do?”

Adding: “She’s an absolute joy – I’m never going to complain about shooting hours ever again because the sleep deprivation is something else.”
