Elliott Spencer, the new husband of Stephen Fry, has spoken publicly for the first time about their relationship, revealing that humour is the foundation of their bond. The 27-year-old writer and comedian, who married the 57-year-old TV host and actor last month, said: 'Humour is the key to everything. We laugh all the time.'
Speaking at the Baftas on Sunday, which was hosted by Fry, Spencer described his husband as 'the love of my life' and 'the light of my life'. He dismissed any criticism of their 30-year age gap, stating: 'I don't care what people think.' The couple met at a house party three years ago, introduced by friends.
Spencer, who is taking a break from stand-up comedy to focus on photography, said he is 'just really happy and enjoying being married'. He plans to hold an exhibition of his work for Fry and friends to see. The newlyweds attended Harvey Weinstein's star-studded afterparty following the Baftas, mingling with celebrities including Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley.
The couple had a low-key wedding at a register office in Dereham, Norfolk, but friend Jonathan Ross has revealed they are planning a larger second ceremony for showbiz friends.
