Sharing the secret to their long-lasting relationship, Martin said humour is key. “At the end of the day, I suppose, everybody should marry my wife. But too late, I already did,” he told Saga Magazine in 2022. “And I’m not letting her go.
“I can’t totally analyse why it works, although I suppose some things are obvious; we make each other laugh, for example, and I know I have to make my wife laugh to keep her because her dad was very funny, too, and she’s funny and so is our daughter, Emily.”
The actor went on to say that after over two decades, he’s still just as thrilled to see her when she walks into a room. “It helps that we’ve always worked together, from the very beginning when we met, and we’re partners in our company, Buffalo, and yet we do totally different things,” he explained. “I call her ‘The Boss’, but, actually, it’s a very equal partnership. She’ll be in her office and I’ll be on set or in the studio and then, at some point in the day, she’ll turn up and, hand on heart, I still feel totally thrilled to see her, like it’s the first time. It never stops.”
