Laurence Fox, never one to shy away from making headlines, just revealed he’s officially a married man again — but in true Fox fashion, he made sure the announcement came with a pointed jab at the Church of England and a sprinkle of social media flair.
A Registry Office Wedding With Plans for a Proper Ceremony
The actor-turned-political firebrand, who’s now 47, posted photos online confirming that he and his fiancée Elizabeth Barker tied the knot in a low-key registry office ceremony.
He didn’t hold back in his reasoning either, telling his 617,000 followers on X (formerly Twitter):
“In order to avoid having to encounter anyone from the @churchofengland myself and my beautiful wife @CaliforniaFrizz signed a piece of paper in a registry office today.”
Fox also added that a more traditional celebration is coming soon, writing: “Proper wedding in a few days with nearest and dearest in the eyes of God.”
Famous Faces in Attendance
Among the family members seen in the photos was Fox’s father, actor James Fox.
The couple looked happy as they marked the beginning of their marriage in what appeared to be an intentionally intimate setting, free from the usual celebrity circus.
A Romance That Followed a Sudden Breakup
Fox had first announced his engagement to Elizabeth in June last year, just a year after breaking off his previous engagement.
That former engagement, to Arabella Fleetwood Neagle, ended only weeks before their planned wedding in 2023.
When he shared the engagement news last year, Fox posted a picture of Elizabeth sporting a diamond ring and joked to followers that he was “punching” — implying he felt lucky to be with her.
At the time, he told MailOnline: “Yes, congratulations are due.
It was a few weeks ago,” but didn’t offer much more, saying he preferred to keep the details personal.
From Billie Piper to Fringe Politics
Many remember Fox from his earlier life as an actor, particularly his eight-year marriage to pop star and actress Billie Piper.
The two met in 2006 while starring in the stage play Treats, got married a year later, and had two sons together — Winston and Eugene — before divorcing in 2016.
Since then, Fox has become more known for his outspoken political views than his on-screen work.
He founded the Reclaim Party, has run in multiple elections (unsuccessfully), and was recently blocked from running in the London mayoral race after submitting incomplete nomination papers.
Meet the New Mrs. Fox
Elizabeth Barker, who now goes by @CaliforniaFrizz on social media, describes herself as a model, body double, and stuntwoman.
Though originally from the U.S., she now lives in the UK and is often featured on the Elite Thinking Club podcast — a show that brands itself as a “critical thinking” platform but is better known for airing fringe conspiracy theories.
In one episode, she questioned the theory of evolution, saying she didn’t believe humans descended from apes, suggesting instead we came from “another race.”
She has also shared theories about Jeffrey Epstein’s death, inaccurately linking it to Prince Andrew’s 2019 Newsnight interview — even though Epstein died three months before that interview aired.
The Fox Family Legacy Continues
Laurence Fox is part of the famous Fox acting dynasty.
His father, James Fox, starred in The Remains of the Day, while uncles Edward Fox and Robert Fox are also big names in the industry.
His cousins Emilia and Freddie Fox are still active in film and television as well.
So, with a new marriage, more social media attention, and his ever-controversial public persona, it looks like Laurence Fox isn’t fading from public view anytime soon.
Whether you’re raising an eyebrow or sending congratulations, he’s once again managed to keep people talking.
