Helena Bonham Carter, 54, reveals how she met boyfriend Rye Dag Holmboe, 32: 'A really happy accident'

Helena Bonham Carter is madly in love.

The Harry Potter actress, 54, recently opened up about how she met her boyfriend Rye Dag Holmboe, 32.

"I can't say much about Rye, because he's a psychoanalyst so he needs his anonymity," Carter told The Guardian in a new interview.

"He's magic, and that's all I'm going to say. I met him at a wedding. A totally random thing, which both of us nearly didn't go to, so it was one of those moments that was so chance and ended up determining so much. A really happy accident, and it's an amazing thing."

The actress previously shared her thoughts on the 22-year age gap between her and Holmboe.

Carter, who plays Princess Margaret in The Crown, compared her new romance to Margaret's in the hit show. In The Crown, the royal dates Roddy Llewellyn, who is 17 years her junior.

"It was odd timing that I seem to have a similar age gap as her, she said," she told The Times last year. "Everybody ages at a different rate. My boyfriend is unbelievably mature. He's an old soul in a young body, what more could I want?"

Carter was previously in a relationship with director Tim Burton. The pair met on the set of the 2001 film Planet of the Apes. The former couple, who announced their split in 2014, share two children together, son Billy, 16, and daughter Nell, 12.
