British actress Marisa Abela has joined the constellation of celebrities descending upon Milan to witness the Winter Olympics, documenting her exclusive experience through a series of stylish Instagram posts. The 29-year-old star of Industry and Back to Black was invited to the prestigious sporting event by luxury watch company Omega, serving as their distinguished guest.
Glamorous Olympic Appearance in Milan
Marisa Abela showcased sophisticated elegance during her Olympic outing, posing on a balcony in the Italian capital while prominently displaying a sleek silver Omega timepiece. The actress, who married husband Jamie Bogyo in September 2025, looked effortlessly chic in a black turtleneck jumper paired with a leather-look skirt, her dazzling engagement ring capturing attention alongside her watch.
Her dark hair was styled in an intricate French plait, complementing striking facial features enhanced with glamorous bronze-toned makeup. Beyond the balcony views, Marisa captured footage inside the Olympic venue, where a massive ice rink hosted speed skaters competing for glory. She also revealed her exclusive access pass, which identified her as a 'senior executive' guest of the watch brand.
Celebrity-Filled Olympic Atmosphere
Marisa Abela is far from alone in her Olympic journey, joining an impressive roster of stars who have been spotted at the Milan games. The celebrity contingent includes music icons Mariah Carey and Snoop Dogg, acclaimed actress Michelle Yeoh, R&B superstar Usher, model Vittoria Ceretti, and actor Stanley Tucci, creating a vibrant atmosphere blending sports and entertainment.
Romantic New York Prelude
Before her Italian adventure, Marisa enjoyed a romantic New York getaway with husband Jamie Bogyo last month. She shared a carousel of playful winter photos on Instagram, bundled against the cold in a long leather coat with fur collar, matching fluffy hat, and rectangular sunglasses. The actress beamed with smiles and playful pouts while enjoying the snowy scenery.
Her husband Jamie, a 31-year-old West End actor, sported a black wool coat with yellow beanie and red scarf, displaying affectionate moments with his wife. Marisa also posted a stunning mirror selfie wearing a leather gilet-style jacket with shearling trim and oversized fur hood, showcasing her fashion-forward sensibility.
Newlywed Indulgences
The newlywed couple, who tied the knot just months earlier in September 2025, treated themselves to chocolate cake at the upscale Ralph Lauren restaurant, The Polo Bar. Their relationship began years earlier when they met while studying at the prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) in 2016, eventually becoming engaged in July 2024 during a romantic stroll through London's Primrose Hill.
Their wedding took place at a romantic manor house in Sussex, followed by a lively reception at Soho House's Brighton location, marking the beginning of their married life together.
Cancer Battle Reveals True Partnership
In a deeply personal revelation, Marisa Abela recently opened up about her battle with thyroid cancer and how her husband's unwavering support confirmed he was 'the one'. Diagnosed in 2020 at just 23 years old, the actress underwent an extensive eight-hour operation to remove the tumor, facing significant physical and emotional challenges.
During an appearance on the How To Fail with Elizabeth Day podcast, Marisa explained: 'He [Jamie] was an immense help and it was one of the moments where I knew that this was the person I wanted to be with forever. I think it's equally as important to have someone that supports you when you're up and when you're down.'
Unwavering Support Through Recovery
Marisa elaborated on Jamie's consistent presence throughout her recovery, noting his ability to celebrate her professional successes while providing essential care during difficult times. 'Jamie is great at both,' she said. 'He's there on a red carpet with me when I'm really proud of my work and is the number one person that's always like "look how great she is", but also when things aren't good he is right there and he looks after me.'
Remarkably, this profound support came just one year into their relationship, demonstrating the strength of their bond early on. Marisa recalled the immediate post-surgery period: 'When I came out of the surgery I had a really gnarly scar and it was all the way from my neck to the top of my ear and it was stapled, bloody and intense, and he was just like, "you look so beautiful".'
Surprise Proposal Story
The actress, who won a BAFTA for her role as Yasmin Hanani in HBO's Industry, recently shared the amusing story of her unexpected proposal. Speaking to The Sunday Times's STYLE magazine earlier this month, Marisa admitted she had anticipated the proposal weeks earlier during a romantic Paris trip.
'We were at dinner with friends and he went back to the hotel saying he was ill but that I should stay,' she recalled. Pretending to play along with what she believed was proposal preparation, Marisa returned later expecting romantic surprises. Instead, she found Jamie 'in a ball on the floor being sick.' The actress laughed about having to 'play off my disappointment really quickly!' when the anticipated proposal turned out to be genuine illness.
From glamorous Olympic appearances to profound personal revelations, Marisa Abela continues to navigate both her rising career and personal life with grace, supported by a partnership that has proven resilient through both celebration and adversity.
