In a moving display of faith, actress Matilda Draper and her fiancé Roman Hackett took a significant step in their spiritual journey by being baptised together. The intimate ceremony, attended by close friends and family, marked a profound moment for the couple as they publicly declared their commitment to Christianity.
A Life-Changing Decision
The 27-year-old actress, best known for her role in the hit series "The Midwife," revealed how her perspective on life transformed after discovering faith. "It's been the most incredible journey of self-discovery," Draper shared. "Finding God has given me a sense of peace I never knew was possible."
Roman's Spiritual Awakening
Hackett, 29, spoke emotionally about his own path to baptism: "I grew up without any religious background, but witnessing Matilda's transformation made me curious. What started as curiosity became conviction." The couple's shared faith has reportedly strengthened their relationship as they prepare for marriage.
The Baptism Ceremony
The ceremony took place at a small chapel in London, with both Draper and Hackett being fully immersed in water as part of the traditional baptism ritual. Close friends described the event as "powerful" and "deeply emotional," with several attendees moved to tears.
Celebrity Reactions
Fellow actors and industry colleagues have flooded social media with messages of support. Draper's co-star from "The Midwife" posted: "So proud of you both! This is beautiful to see." The couple's decision to go public with their faith journey has sparked conversations about spirituality in the entertainment industry.
Future Plans
When asked how their new faith might influence their careers, Draper responded: "We're not here to preach, but if our journey inspires others to explore their own spirituality, that would be wonderful." The couple plans to incorporate Christian values into their upcoming wedding ceremony later this year.
