Scottish actor Jack Lowden, star of Slow Horses and newly announced patron of Edinburgh Filmhouse, has married his long term partner Irish actor, Saoirse Ronan, according to the Irish Independent.

It is reported that the couple were married in a civil ceremony at the City Chambers in the capital last weekend with only a few people in attendance – and everyone sworn to secrecy.

Ronan will star in the opening night film at the 2024 Edinburgh International Film Festival.

The Outrun stars Saoirse Ronan (Ladybird, Brooklyn) as a young woman who finds herself washed up back home on the Scottish islands of Orkney as she battles to rebuild her life after a decade of addiction. Ronan, who also co-produced the film, will join filmmaker Nora Fingscheidt (System Crasher) in attendance at this year’s EIFF, alongside writer Amy Liptrot and the film’s producers Sarah Brocklehurst and Dominic Norris. The film had its world premiere at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, and will be released by STUDIOCANAL in the UK and Ireland on September 27, 2024.

The Outrun was developed and produced by Sarah Brocklehurst of Brock Media, Dominic Norris of Arcade Pictures, Saoirse Ronan and Jack Lowden, with the support of BBC Film and Screen Scotland.
