The Downton Abbey star, Elizabeth McGovern, is beaming with joy as she welcomes a new family member into her life. Her daughter, Grace, has given birth to a baby boy named Jesse Keelin, making Elizabeth a proud grandmother. The 64-year-old actress shared the exciting news, expressing her delight with the arrival of her handsome and intelligent grandson. Grace, a primary school teacher in London, is one of Elizabeth's two daughters, both of whom she shares with film and theatre director Simon Curtis. The couple decided to make the UK their permanent home after meeting and married in 1992.
Elizabeth's family is a tight-knit one, with her eldest daughter, Grace, and her husband, Simon, also living in London. However, her younger daughter, Matilda, prefers to stay out of the spotlight, although she has joined her famous parents at various events over the years. The family resides in Chiswick, London, and has been a source of support for each other.
This heartwarming news comes just weeks after fellow Downton Abbey cast members Laura Carmichael and Michael C. Fox tied the knot in a secret wedding. The couple, who portray Lady Edith and Andrew Parker on the show, met during the filming of season five and have always been careful to keep their relationship private. They secretly welcomed a son named Luca in March 2021, further adding to the joy within the Downton Abbey family. The show's cast and crew have been a significant part of their lives, with Michael C. Fox expressing his gratitude and the impact the show has had on his life.
