Rufus Sewell - He marries a partner 30 years younger
Rufus Sewell (56) is back in the spotlight. According to media reports, the British actor gave his consent to his fiancée Vivian Benitez (27) over the weekend. The wedding reportedly took place at Manorbier Castle in Wales. The London-born native apparently paid tribute to his Welsh roots of his mother by choosing the 11th-century castle as the venue for the celebration.
Paparazzi photos show Rufus Sewell in a cream-colored suit. He wore a white shirt with a black tie underneath. The bride looked enthusiastic in a strapless, white wedding dress.
The Couple Laughs about the Age Difference
The couple had gotten engaged less than a year ago. Sewell proposed to Vivian Benitez in December 2023 in Rome. Benitez posted photos of the engagement ring on Instagram shortly after.
"Till death do us part," she wrote in the caption of the photos. "Or until he runs over bath mats in his street shoes again," she added humorously. In a post the following day, she joked about the almost 30-year age difference between them: "Please tell everyone who is concerned about our age difference that it's all good - I turned 27 today." The Brit and the American with Cuban roots have been together since 2019.
