Stephen Fry, the 67-year-old British actor, recently shared why he and his husband, Elliott Spencer, 36, are rarely seen in public together. The couple, who have been married since 2015, prefer to keep their relationship private. In an interview on The Jonathan Ross Show, Fry explained their low-key lifestyle.
“We have an early supper, watch television, and go to bed,” he said, adding that they “don’t go to Hollywood parties much.”
Fry and Spencer met at a mutual friend’s party in 2012 and tied the knot three years later. Despite their long marriage, they have not been photographed together at a significant event in nearly six years.

During the interview, Fry also shared an anecdote about how he landed the role of hosting the UK version of Jeopardy! in 2024. He recalled telling his U.S.-based agent about his quiet evenings with Spencer, watching the American quiz show. Two weeks later, Fry was offered the opportunity to host the UK edition.
Earlier this year, Fry took to social media to celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary, sharing a throwback photo from their wedding day and expressing his gratitude for their time together. The actor has been open about his personal struggles, including his battle with prostate cancer in 2018. Despite his public persona, Fry continues to keep his personal life private, offering only rare glimpses into his relationship with Spencer.
