Personal life
Hardy married Sarah Ward in 1999, but the marriage ended in divorce in 2004. He has a son, Louis Thomas (born 2008), with ex-girlfriend Rachael Speed.[26] In 2008, he began a relationship with actress Charlotte Riley, whom he met on the set of The Take and Wuthering Heights. The couple became engaged in 2010 and married in July 2014.
In 2008, when asked by Attitude magazine if he had had sexual relations with men, Hardy stated, "As a boy? Of course I have. I'm an actor for fuck's sake. I'm an artist. I've played with everything and everyone. But I'm not into men sexually. I love the form and the physicality but the gay sex bit does nothing for me. To me it just doesn't compute now I'm into my 30s and it doesn't do it for me and I'm done experimenting."
Hardy battled addictions to alcohol and crack cocaine in his early-to-mid-20s. He entered rehab and has been sober since 2003.
Hardy was named one of GQ's 50 best dressed British men in 2015.
