Who is Ben Barnes married to? Wife details?

Many fangirls might be glad to know that Ben Barnes is single at present. And he has not been married yet, too.

The pair were enjoying each moment with each other as they stepped out of the ice cream parlor, walked in the streets, and shared some candid smiles.

Their casual dressing also complimented their chemistry — Ben wore black shorts, compression leggings, and a grey Nike jacket on top, whereas Julianne flaunted black leggings, a black sherpa jacket, and athletic sneakers.

Moreover, the dating news between Ben and Julianne became much stronger with the fact that Julianne announced her separation from Brooks Laich, her husband of three years, in the spring of 2020 and the divorce proceedings in November.

However, a source close to People magazine denied the possible romance between them, saying that the two have been friends for eight years and “there is nothing more to it.”

But on the possible side, both of them were single [in 2021], and it could be possible that they might have dated each other at some point. That being said, as of 2023, they have not confirmed dating one another or any other partner, for that matter.
