Hugh Grant Hits Back At Claims He Married Wife Anna Eberstein For ‘Passport Reasons’

Hugh Grant is hitting back at claims circulating throughout the Internet that there was anything other than love that compelled him and wife Anna Eberstein to get married.

On Thursday, the star of “The Undoing” took to Twitter, where he shared a screenshot of a Google search for his wife’s name, circling an item that came up reading, “Hugh Grant married Anna Eberstein for passport reasons.”

Grant, however, refutes that.

“No I didn’t, @Internet,” he wrote. “I married her because I love her.”

He followed up by responding to a wisecracking tweet that asked, “Did Hugh Grant forget who his wife is and have to Google it?”

“No,” replied Grant. “A friend sent it to me.”

Grant and Eberstein wed in 2018, two months after the couple welcomed their third child together.

In a 2019 radio interview, Grant admitted that the preconceived notions he’d had about matrimony and parenthood were way off base.

“Well, I was just plain wrong. I was wrong. And children, you know, I used to roll my eyes. People would say, oh Hugh you don’t understand it, but they were right,” Grant said.
