Who is Jamie Bamber and who's he married to?

Jamie Bamber was born in Hammersmith, London, on April 3, 1973 - that makes him 49.

He kicked off his TV career in 1998, starring alongside Ioan Gruffudd, Robert Lindsay and Paul McGann in Hornblower. Bamber took on the role of Lieutenant Archie Kennedy.

In 2003, he got his next big break when he starred as Lee "Apollo" Adama in the re-imagined TV miniseries Battlestar Galactica.

Is Jamie Bamber married?

The actor is married to English actress Kerry Norton, who played Ishay, Doc Cottle's assistant on Battlestar Galactica.

The couple have three daughters together - Isla and identical twins Darcy and Ava.

Jamie and Kerry appeared together in the Making Friends episode of the 2003 BBC series The Human Mind, which featured the birth of Isla.

The family live together in France, after relocating from Los Angeles.

He told iN10: "When we were living in Los Angeles 60% of the jobs I was doing were taking me away from there.

"We realised that, and that Los Angeles wasn’t where we saw us for the rest of our lives. We missed Europe and moved back across, while still realising that my work would tend to take me away from home.

"But whenever a job comes up there’s a family debate as to whether the time away is worth it or whether we move. I joke with Kerry that we can literally move house in four days flat.

"We’re renting so we could go anywhere and I suppose actors have always been itinerants. Sometimes, though, you do wake up and drive yourself crazy about the friends you’re missing out on because of where you’ve chosen to live.”
