Stephen Graham and his wife, Hannah Walters, have been together since they were college students
They got married in 2008 and welcomed two children: Grace and Alfie
Graham and Walters run a production company and have collaborated on at least 15 projects
Stephen Graham and his wife, Hannah Walters, have been by each other's side for more than 15 years.
The Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere star met Walters when they were both students at the Rose Bruford College of Theatre & Performance, per a 2019 interview with The Sunday Times. They married in 2008 and have since welcomed two children: Grace and Alfie.
The two have collaborated on a number of projects, from starting their own production company, Matriarch Productions, in 2020 to producing Netflix's Adolescence and Disney+'s A Thousand Blows.
After winning an Emmy award for his performance in the former, Graham thanked Walters in his acceptance speech, calling her his "soulmate."
"[To my wife] who I love with every ounce of my being," he said. "You are my rock, you are my world, you are my soulmate. And you know and I know, without you I would be dead. From the bottom of my heart I love you with everything I have."
So who is Stephen Graham's wife? Here's everything to know about Hannah Walters and her relationship with the actor.

Both Graham and Walters acted in the hit show Adolescence and served as executive producers with their production company, Matriarch. Walters played the teacher, Mrs. Bailey.
Apart from the award-winning show, the two have starred in more than 15 projects together, according to Entertainment Daily, including the British prison drama, Time, in which they played a married couple.
Director Lewis Arnold told The Mirror in 2021 that the two had chemistry in spades and brought positive energy to the set.
"They were amazing – they switched it on instantly. Their chemistry is just extraordinary, it's infectious as well for the crew," he said. "Everyone just loves working with them and looks forward to them being on set because they're such a joy as a couple … but also as a powerhouse of cinema."
While the two clearly enjoy working together, Walters has maintained her own identity as an artist, telling The i Paper in 2022 that it made sense for her to support their family in the beginning of their careers.
"I've always kind of taken a little bit of a backseat," she explained. "Stephen has had more of a prolific career, and when we were both starting out, one of us needed to get a normal job. Acting doesn't help pay the mortgage when you're young."
They met in college but reconnected later in life

After meeting in college, the couple stayed close through their early 20s, even as life took them in different directions. On his 2019 episode of Desert Island Discs, Graham shared that it took a little time — and distance — for him to realize how much Walters meant to him.
"She went to Spain for a little bit and I couldn't see her, and she was going to move out there," he recalled. "She came back and we hadn't been on a date in five or six years ... just talking lots. And I said, 'Can I take you on a date?' "
Their first date ended with a confession at New Cross train station that changed everything.
"I said, 'Please don't go to Spain.' She asked, 'Why don't you want me to go to Spain?' and I said, 'I love you.' She said, 'I'd been waiting five years for you to say that,' " Graham shared. "The next day, we moved in together — and we've been together ever since."

Graham and Walters founded their production company, Matriarch, in 2020 with the goal of helping develop and support underrepresented talent in the U.K.
Graham told Variety in January 2020 that the pair are dedicated to giving newcomers an opportunity.
"We hope to develop stories that give young and first-time writers and directors an opportunity, and try to develop good stories that will be a broader representation of the cultural aspects of our society," he said.

Walters and Graham are the proud parents of two children: daughter Grace, born in 2005, and son Alfie, born in 2007.
Speaking to The Sunday Times about his children in February 2025, Graham reflected on the impact of limited affection on young people, a theme that also features prominently in Adolescence.
"We have ups and downs, of course. Luckily, though, the relationship we both have with our children is beautiful — but it takes work," he said.
Walters added in her interview with The i Paper that she and Graham have also prioritized raising their kids to work hard themselves.
"Being a mum is my number one priority — that's what I pride myself on," she said. "Our kids are in a fortunate position, but we've instilled that work ethic in them. They've still got to put the bins out on a Wednesday night."

Graham, who has dyslexia, credits Walters with reading all of his scripts for him, often telling him whether a project is worth doing.
"She says, 'We're doing this,' and I say, 'OK,' " he told The Sunday Times in 2019. "If I can find socially aware, political things that are saying something — well, that's where I'm from. It's what I know. So it's where I've tried to keep my base."
She was a teacher

Like her Adolescence character, Mrs. Bailey, Walters also worked as a teacher. The actress taught drama, and told The i Paper that she was to whom the poorly behaved students were sent.
"I was a drama teacher for GCSE and A-Level pupils," she said. "Teachers would send their naughty kids to my class – they'd come en masse and you'd hear them stomping down the corridor. I had to take a paracetamol."
However, she was able to organize her unruly students into a successful theater troupe. "They just needed a creative outlet and a teacher that wasn't judgmental," she said.
