James Corden Wife

Corden is married to Julia Carey. In 2009, the couple met at a Save the Children charity event. Julia was employed by the organization at the time. James was hesitant to attend the event, but actor Dominic Cooper persuaded him to do so. On Christmas Day in 2010, the couple got engaged in the Maldives.  Julia wore a stunning Monique Lhuillier gown to their 2012 wedding at Babington House in Somerset. In front of celebrity guests, as well as their friends and family, the couple said “I do.” In their wedding photos, the couple was glowing.

Julia does not have a large social media following. Instead, James makes a point of mentioning her in speeches and tweets at award shows. Before the couple married, she received a special mention in James’ Tony Award acceptance speech in 2012. The camera panned to Julia, who was sitting in the audience, teary-eyed. During a segment on his talk show, James revealed that the couple did not immediately decide on a name for her. Julia was not amused when he joked to the doctor about naming the baby Beyoncé.

James Corden Children

At the time, Julia was expecting their first child, Max. Max was born in March of 2011. Carey, the couple’s daughter, was born in October 2014. Only a few weeks later, James landed his talk show gig. He gave Julia credit for agreeing to move to the United States to make his dreams come true. In 2017, their daughter Charlotte arrived earlier than expected.
