Wunmi Mosaku Keeps It Cute and Confidential but Here’s What We Know About Her Husband

The Breakdown: Wunmi Mosaku is having a moment right now, riding high off her starring role in Sinners. The Lovecraft Country alum is now a bona fide star, and fans are all up in her business, especially when it comes to her real-life romance with her husband.

Wunmi Mosaku is that girl — graceful, grounded, and glowing on every screen she touches. She broke out in Lovecraft Country, then leveled up with her soul-stirring role in Ryan Coogler’s Sinners. While her career keeps shining, she keeps her personal life tight-lipped — and that’s just how she wants it.

She moved to America with her husband and has been building her name ever since. Here’s everything we know about Wunmi’s husband and her life off-camera.

Wunmi is married, but she keeps her relationship out of the spotlight. Her husband, an American who works behind the scenes in entertainment, prefers to stay off-camera. He’s also the reason she left the UK and made the move to the States — a decision that helped launch her Hollywood career.

“I mean, it’s the best thing that ever happened,” Wunmi told Schon Magazine. “But I know I wouldn’t have gone on that date. My whole life would have been totally different. And I don’t even know if I’d have been an actor. I think I would have gone to Manchester University and done something else. I’m sure of that.”

The actress was born in Zaria, Nigeria, and grew up in Manchester, England. She trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) and graduated in 2007. She landed early roles in British dramas like Moses Jones and Vera, laying the groundwork for her breakout. Her BAFTA-winning turn in Damilola, Our Loved Boy, catapulted her into the spotlight. Since then, she’s kept the momentum going—haunting viewers in His House, flexing her Marvel skills in Loki, and stealing scenes in Sinners.

In July 2024, Wunmi surprised fans by announcing the birth of her daughter, a revelation she had kept private until then. The actress shared the news on Instagram, posting a photo of herself with her baby girl.

“Oh, and when I said Mama, I meant it,” Wunmi captioned the post. This heartfelt announcement came just a day after she attended the Deadpool & Wolverine premiere, where she playfully hinted at her new maternal status with the caption, “Mama went OUT out!”

Motherhood has not only enriched Wunmi’s personal life but has also deepened her connection to her roles. In Sinners, she portrays Annie, a Hoodoo priestess grappling with the loss of her child. Wunmi found that her own experiences as a new mother brought authenticity and emotional depth to the character.

“Her connection to her daughter, who is now an ancestor, is something I felt really connected to as a mother,” Wunmi told W Magazine. “There is something about her love for Smoke, the depth of it, that’s really interesting, too. I have so many questions about her history that come to me still.”
