Laurence Fox has surprised his fans once again—this time with something far more personal than politics or TV drama.
The 47-year-old actor-turned-political-figure quietly announced he’s now a married man.
No red carpet, no fanfare—just a simple post on X (formerly Twitter), revealing he tied the knot with his girlfriend-turned-wife, Elizabeth Barker.
A Quick Ceremony Before the “Proper” One
Instead of heading down the aisle in a grand ceremony, Fox and Barker opted for a straightforward registry office wedding.
In the photos he shared, the couple beamed with joy, flanked by family members—including his well-known father, actor James Fox.
But fans shouldn’t worry if it felt too rushed—Fox promised a more traditional celebration is still on the way.
“Proper wedding in a few days with nearest and dearest in the eyes of God,” he added on X.
Snubbing the Church of England
Always one to speak his mind, Fox didn’t shy away from his reasoning for avoiding a church wedding at first.
In his post, he cheekily wrote, “In order to avoid having to encounter anyone from the Church of England,” he and his “beautiful wife” signed the papers at the registry office instead.
A Romance That Reached the Public Last Year
Fox and Barker went public with their engagement in June of last year.
At the time, he shared a photo of Elizabeth wearing a sparkling engagement ring and joked that he was “punching,” meaning he felt lucky to have her.
Speaking to MailOnline at the time, he confirmed the happy news but kept things modest, saying he wanted to keep the details “quiet and personal.”
From Heartbreak to a New Beginning
This happy chapter follows a breakup that happened just weeks before Fox was due to marry his former fiancée, Arabella Fleetwood Neagle, in 2023.
Before that, his most famous relationship was with actress Billie Piper.
The two met in 2006 during a stage production, married a year later, and had two sons—Winston and Eugene—before divorcing in 2016 after eight years together.
So Who Is Elizabeth Barker?
Fox’s new wife, Elizabeth “Liz” Barker, brings her own unique energy to the relationship.
According to her Instagram, she’s a model, body double, and stuntwoman.
Originally from the U.S., she’s now based in the UK and is known for her appearances on the Elite Thinking Club podcast—a fringe show that brands itself as a “critical thinking” platform, though it often leans into controversial conspiracy theories.
A Podcast Guest with Provocative Views
On the podcast, Barker hasn’t been shy about sharing some eyebrow-raising takes.
In one episode, when asked if humans evolved from apes, she replied that it’s what we’ve been “made to believe” but she personally doubts it.
She also claimed that Jeffrey Epstein was murdered because of Prince Andrew’s infamous Newsnight interview—despite the fact Epstein died months before that broadcast aired.
Fox’s Shift from Actor to Firebrand
Once known primarily for his role in ITV’s Lewis, Fox has spent recent years reinventing himself as a political commentator.
As leader of the Reclaim Party, he’s run (unsuccessfully) in multiple elections and was even blocked from the latest London mayoral race due to incomplete nomination forms.
His views frequently spark controversy online and in the media.
A Family Steeped in Showbiz
Of course, Fox comes from a long line of British entertainment royalty.
His father James Fox is best known for The Remains of the Day, while his uncles Edward and Robert Fox and cousins Freddie and Emilia Fox all have thriving careers in film and television.
What Comes Next for the Newlyweds?
As for what’s next? Well, a more traditional wedding ceremony is definitely in the cards.
Beyond that, it remains to be seen whether Fox will take a step back from his combative political persona to focus more on personal happiness—or whether the newlywed will continue to make headlines both at the ballot box and beyond.
