Adam Driver met his wife, Joanne Tucker, while they were at The Juilliard School.
In addition to acting, Tucker also co-founded the non-profit Arts in the Armed Forces with her husband.
Driver and Tucker are also parents to two children, a son and a daughter.
Adam Driver might be known worldwide as Kylo Ren in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, but he’s most importantly a husband and father at home.
Since 2005, Driver has been with his longtime partner Joanne Tucker, a fellow actor who also co-founded a non-profit with Driver, Arts in the Armed Forces. In addition to their philanthropy, the couple, who tied the knot in 2013, share two children, a son and a daughter.
Over the years, while they’ve kept their romance private, the Girls alum has gushed about how their relationship keeps him grounded. “She ensures that amidst all this Hollywood craziness, I remain a normal person,” he told radio station Z96.3 in 2017, per Us Weekly. “She’ll persuade me to go and see old friends, even if I’m not really feeling like it. Having a person like that in your life is far more important than a successful career.”
Below, find out everything there is to know about Adam Driver’s wife, Joanna Tucker.
She’s an actress

Much like her husband, Tucker is also an actress. Per IMDb, her first roles were in 2010, starring in After You Left and Party Trick. Her notable credits over the years include the 2020 film Give or Take, the Showtime series American Rust, and 2019’s The Report, where she co-starred with Driver. She also appeared in one episode of Driver’s breakthrough series, HBO’s Girls.
“I love putting myself in other people’s shoes and imagining their life from different perspectives,” Tucker said of her love for acting to The Royal Gazette in 2019.
She grew up in Bermuda.
Tucker was born in Bermuda and is the granddaughter of Sir Henry Tucker, the territory’s first government leader. She lived there until she was four years old, when her parents split up, and her mother moved her to Brooklyn, New York. She continued visiting Bermuda regularly after that. “I spent my summers running around on the beach,” she told The Royal Gazette. “It was a vivid, sensorially important part of my upbringing.

Tucker and Driver first met when they were attending The Juilliard School in New York. At the time, Driver was a freshman. “She read a lot of books, knew a lot of s--,” Driver said of his wife at the time to The New Yorker in 2019. “She was very composed.”
They tied the knot in 2013.
Tucker and Driver got engaged in 2012, before tying the knot in 2013. Little is known about their nuptials besides the fact that it took place in Bermuda. “I got married [in Bermuda],” she told The Royal Gazette. “I just love the people and the place.”

She and Driver co-founded a non-profit.
While the world knows Driver as an Oscar-nominated actor from roles like BlacKkKlansman (2018) and Marriage Story (2019), Driver was in the Marine Corps before enrolling in Juilliard. The actor served for a little over two years before he was medically discharged due to a motorbike injury.
Inspired by his time in service, Driver and Tucker co-founded Arts in the Armed Forces (AITAF) in 2006, a non-profit organization that brings free artistic programming to those in the military. “We bring high-quality arts programming to the US military all over the world for free,” Tucker told The Royal Gazette. “We started with one event per year and over the time it started to grow. Now we are doing ten to 15 events a year all over the world.”
“We have seen the effect it has,” she said of the non-profit’s work. “People are hungry for the stimulation and the conversation. It is a release and relief and something to take their minds off their situation and something to stimulate their minds in a different way.” Per Stars and Stripes, the organization dissolved in 2023.
She loves to run.
Per People, Tucker is an avid runner, and even ran the 2019 TCS New York City Marathon. “It’s my favorite way to explore and get my bearings in a new place and I’m passionate about it because it demands that your whole physical self participate,” she said in a since-deleted post on AITAF’s Instagram page. “You can do it anywhere at no cost, and it provides dedicated time and space to think and reflect.”
She ran the marathon for the AITAF team “to draw attention to Arts in the Armed Forces’ mission and to celebrate having co-run an arts non-profit for the past 11 years.”
They’re parents of two.

Over the years, Tucker and Driver have welcomed two children, a son and a daughter. Driver first revealed he had a son four years after he arrived. “I’m a husband. And a father,” he said in his opening monologue during his Saturday Night Live hosting appearance in 2020. “It’s in that order, though. I’ve been very clear with my son about that; he’s second in everything.”
Three years later, People confirmed that Tucker was pregnant with their second child, a daughter, in February 2023. In December, Driver talked about her arrival for the first time on Live With Kelly and Mark. “I have an older son who is 6 and so she, now she’s 8 months and you kind of forget how much babies kinda suck,” Driver joked, adding that he had been getting “not a lot” of sleep.
“But I’m remembering this time that I have to enjoy it more,” he continued. “This first time, it went too fast and I was so anxious for him to kind of develop so he could communicate and tell me what was wrong. And now I’m more patient with her. I’m trying to enjoy it more.”
He then added that his daughter “likes me more,” whereas with his son, “he didn’t want anything to do with me for the first three years.”
