Julia Stiles is no stranger to on-screen romances, having portrayed various love interests throughout her career. However, when it comes to real-life love, the actress only has eyes for her husband, Preston Cook.
The couple first started dating in 2014 and after three years of courtship, they decided to take their relationship to the next level by tying the knot in 2017. Since then, they have welcomed three children together, adding to their growing family.
Preston Cook may not be a household name like his wife, but he is a seasoned cameraman with a long history in the entertainment industry.
Starting his career in the early 2000s, Cook initially pursued acting before transitioning to filmmaking. His impressive resume includes work on projects like The Revenant, Deadpool, and Skyscraper.
Unlike Stiles, Cook prefers to stay out of the limelight, choosing to focus on his work behind the scenes. This decision has kept much of his personal life private, with his professional accomplishments speaking for themselves.
The couple first crossed paths on the set of the movie Blackway in 2014, where Cook was working as a second assistant camera. Their connection was instant, and by the following year, they were engaged. Stiles announced the news on Instagram, calling it the “Best Christmas Ever.”
Their wedding took place in 2017, a decision they made official when Stiles became pregnant with their first child. The actress humorously referred to it as a “shotgun wedding,” highlighting the unexpected but joyous turn of events.
Today, Stiles and Cook are proud parents to three children, including their newest addition born in 2023.
Despite keeping the pregnancy under wraps, Stiles has opened up about the challenges and joys of motherhood, drawing parallels between being a parent and a director.
