Carrie Preston is, without a doubt, a top actress! But the fact that she was also in love with her husband, Michael Emerson, when she first started getting to know him, is just endearing. Preston and her husband, Michael Emerson, have been married since 1998 and are still going strong.
Carrie Preston met her husband at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival.
While still at school, Preston met the guy who would become her husband. He attended the Alabama School of Fine Arts for a master’s degree. Preston was in New York at the time, but she was in town for the Alabama Shakespeare Festival in Montgomery. She first saw him in numerous parts in A Christmas Carol. However, as revealed in an interview with Entertainment Weekly (via CheatSheet ), the two met on the set of Hamlet. While Emerson portrayed the main character’s boy friend, Guildenstern and Preston played Ophelia, and he presented her with a bouquet of fresh flowers and a basket of peaches from his peach tree.
Michael Emerson was Carrie Preston’s ‘Talent Crush’
In another interview with People, Preston revealed that she was in love with Emerson from the start. “Within a month, I contacted my mom and told her, ‘I met the guy I’m going to marry,'” she recalled. Fortunately, the feeling was mutual. Once love found them, distance could not separate them. They dated for four years while commuting between New York and Alabama. They married at a theater in her hometown of Macon, Georgia in 1998, followed by a transfer to New York City, which Emerson called “Home with a capital H.” They were childless in their nearly two decades of marriage, but in 2010 the couple got Chumley, a poodle-Maltese cross, who they cherish as their only “child.”
