Julia O'Hara Stiles is an actor from the United States who began working at the age of eleven. She began her career in theater and in front of the camera and soon secured important roles in teenage classic movies. 'La MaMa Theatre Company' was where she had her debut appearance. She then went on to star in several other theatrical productions, including The Vagina Monologues, Twelfth Night, and Oleanna.
Stiles is indeed a very reserved person, despite her being a celebrity. She and her husband married in 2017 after keeping their relationship hidden for several years. Stiles followers are often speculating if she is still married to her husband due to the secrecy surrounding her personal life. But before that, there's another essential question: who is Julia Stiles's husband?
Who Is Julia Stiles' Husband?
Preston Cook is Stiles' husband, and they married in 2017. He is well recognized for his work as a cinematography and electrical division crewman on various films and television series, where he was typically the assistant cameraman.
He has worked on numerous films, including War for the Planet of the Apes, Deadpool, Jason Bourne, The Revenant, and Cold Pursuit. Preston has also appeared in a number of movies and TV show segments. In 2003, he appeared in an episode of The Twilight Zone, and in 2006, he appeared in an installment of Smallville. He has also been on TV shows such as Love It or List It Vancouver and Riviera.
Preston J Cook's most well-known role was as James in the long-running Showtime drama The L Word, in which he appeared in about 20 episodes. He also made an uncredited appearance as the Antigen Doctor in 2012's Underworld: Awakening.
Preston seems to avoid social media, unlike his wife Julia, who has a significant fan base on Instagram. Fans may see him in several of Julia's Instagram postings, though.
Where And How Did Stiles And Cook Met?
After having met during the filming of Stiles's movie Go With Me in 2015, the two started dating. Cook worked as a second camera assistant on the production. Stiles confirmed the couple's engagement in January 2016 after she accepted his Christmas Eve proposal in Isla Grande, Colombia. She posted an Instagram shot of them holding hands while she flashed her ring, captioning the image "Best Christmas Ever!"
The star said in a conversation with Today that the engagement came out of the blue, although she did have few expectations.
"Over Christmas and New Year's, we went on a large trip with his entire family," she informed Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford. "'Do not ruin a perfectly fine vacation by getting your hopes up,' I kept telling myself out loud, like every day. Simply remove the thought out of your thoughts."
Stiles and Cook enjoyed spending time together on the French Côte d'Azur after their engagement while shooting Riviera. Stiles told Marie Claire UK, "We were really happy to get to work together/ It ended up being the most romantic event I've ever had."
Their wedding was also a surprise to fans, but their engagement was as well!
When Did Julia Stiles Get Married?
While Stiles and Cook were swiftly engaged, they did not marry until almost two years later, when Stiles was expecting their first baby.
Julia Stiles married Preston Cook in September 2017. "Who doesn't love a shotgun wedding?" Stiles wrote with a winking face emoticon in an Instagram picture at the time, confirming the announcement of their marriage.
Stiles's representative later revealed to PEOPLE in a release that the couple got hitched Labor Day weekend on the shore in Seattle with two pals.
Stiles and Cook publicly stated the birth of their first baby in November 2017, a month after their son was born. She exclaimed on Instagram, "Strummer Newcomb Cook, born October 20, 2017."
Are Julia Stiles And Preston Cook Still Married?
Julia Stiles and Preston Cook are still very much in love and together after more than four years of marriage.
To commemorate their third wedding anniversary in 2020, Julia Stiles posted a beautiful snapshot with Cook. "We haven't murdered each other in three years, five nations, and two quarantines," she joked. "Congratulations on your anniversary, Luv."
In November 2021, Stiles' publicist revealed to Us that she was expecting her second baby. "Welcome to the world, Baby Arlo!" said the star of The Bourne Identity on Instagram in January 2022. The newest member of our family, reminding me of the endless love that exists."
Cook also appears to have taken a pause from his profession after 2019 to become a stay-at-home dad for his children, giving them the time and attention they require.
Julia Stiles did not hold back when questioned about her husband, voicing her admiration for him. Despite the fact that Cook is not on social media, Stiles' social media presence has disclosed the reality about her spouse and children's father.
Cook has provided the love and care that she and their two kids need. He's been encouraging and enthusiastic about Stiles' efforts.
