The director of the last two James Bond films, 007: Skyfall and 007: Specter, Sam Mendes married female musician Alison Bals. Mendes, 51, and Bolsom, 38, were married at St Michael and All Angels in Oxfordshire.

A spokesperson for the director confirmed that the modest ceremony took place over the weekend. It is not known exactly how long the couple's romance lasts: they were first published together in November 2016, when the new Mrs. Mendes received the Order of the British Empire for her services to the country in the musical field.

Previously, the director only had relationships with actresses. He had affairs with Rachel Weisz and Calista Flockhart. The first wife of Sam Mendes was actress Kate Winslet. They divorced in 2010 after seven years of marriage. Before meeting Alison Blos, Mendes dated Rebecca Hall, but broke up with her two years ago.
