We couldn’t exactly pinpoint their marriage date because the lovebirds held a secret wedding.

After the marriage, Sophie was blessed with a new title, a “stepmother”, to Jamie’s two children — Stan and Josie. As of late 2019, Stan was all set to leave home, while Josie was just 15 then.

Denoting that her kids were up and on their feet, Sophie shared, “I am more settled now.” She added,

“I have a stable home life, and I am just older. I don’t care as much if people like or dislike things. Well, I do. I am sensitive and sometimes I feel like I have got no skin. That’s why I can’t ever read stuff about myself.”

A “glass-half-full” person like her husband, Sophie shared that she was glad that he was the one.

But only sometimes, Jamie gets annoyed with Sophie when she is completely immersed in her theater character. For Sophie’s role as Cleopatra in Antony and Cleopatra, she ate, slept, and walked like Cleopatra. To which, Jamie complained that he has been living with Cleopatra for six months.

A builder by profession, Jamie was reportedly working as a managing director at his self-owned construction company Chalmers & Co in 2021. According to his site, Jamie a.k.a. James Chalmers has worked in the construction industry since 1996 and has grown the company into Sussex’s most established sustainable contractors.

Reportedly, Jamie founded the company back in June 2002, and since then has employed over 8 officers.

It seems that having a builder husband has its perks. The Glyndebourne house that Sophie and Jamie were living in, was designed and built by Jamie. Also, on Sophie’s 50th birthday, she received a custom-built Mercian bicycle from Jamie.
