James McAvoy‘s ability to take on a wide range of characters has made him one of the most respected actors of his generation, and he is also among the most famous and has been in the spotlight for a long time.
The Scottish star has had a fairly public love life, and since 2016, he has been in a relationship with Lisa Liberati, who also works in the industry but behind the scenes and quite close to directors.
Their love has been flourishing for many years until recently, when they finally decided to take the next step in their relationship and say “I do” in a private, intimate and surprise ceremony.
Who is Lisa Liberati?
Lisa Liberati, who is known for being the wife and strong support of James McAvoy globally, has been in the entertainment industry for decades, working behind the scenes on several major projects.
She was born on March 16, 1979, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and studied at Thomas Jefferson University. She initially ventured into acting in 1995, with a small role in the science fiction film “Species”.

She is currently 45 years old and her zodiac sign is Pisces. Before meeting her partner, she dedicated her career to working closely with production teams, but particularly as the personal assistant to director M. Night Shyamalan.
She worked on productions such as The Visit, Split and Glass. It was there that she met the actor from “Speak No Evil”, who later became the love of her life. The couple has been happily married for several years.
James McAvoy and Lisa Liberati’s love story
Lisa met James McAvoy on the set of “Split” in 2016, where they began a romantic relationship while he was finalizing his divorce from his ex-wife, with whom he shares a son named Brandon.
Despite trying to keep their relationship out of the spotlight, they confirmed their romance the following year on social media, where he can be found on Instagram as @jamesmcavoyrealdeal and she as @lisalibs.
They eventually tied the knot in February 2022, solidifying their union. Since then, James has mentioned that Philadelphia, Liberati’s hometown, has become his “second home”.
