Succession star Jeremy Strong has been happily married to Emma Wall for over seven years and the couple share three daughters together.
The pair met in 2012 at a party in New York City during Hurricane Sandy and have been together ever since. Four years later, they tied the knot at a castle in Denmark, and they continue to split their time between Copenhagen and New York City.
Emma hails from Denmark and is ecstatic that the family spends so much time there.
“I love Denmark,” she told The Guardian in 2021. “It feels like a refuge for me, and it’s great to have somewhere that’s a docking station after all this work, which I find very enervating and scary and stressful.”
While Emma has her own career as a child psychiatrist and co-director of the documentary Guerilla Habes, she continuously shows her support for her husband. In a 2021 interview with The New Yorker, Strong admitted that it wasn’t easy to balance his career and personal life following the birth of his third daughter.
When asked if she noticed a difference in Strong while he was playing Kendall Roy, Wall commented, “He does a really good job of maintaining what he’s doing but also creating space for the family and a normal life.”
