Hugh Grant's family dynamic explained as actor watches football in Italy with wife Anna Eberstein

Hugh Grant beamed for cameras as he enjoyed a day out with his wife Anna Eberstein at a football match over the weekend.

The 64-year-old actor and his TV producer wife, whom he married in 2018, were spotted laughing and joking together alongside Real Madrid legend Raphael Varane and actor Andrew Garfield as they watched Como play Parma at the Giuseppe Sinigaglia Stadium.

The game was a run-of-the-mill 1-1 draw.

But Grant has a slightly confusing romantic past.

Here is everything we know about the star’s family dynamic.

Who is Anna Eberstein?

Eberstein is a Swedish TV presenter who married Grant back in May 2018 at Chelsea Register Office.

She moved to London to live with him after they tied the knot and they share three children together: John Mungo, born in 2012 and two daughters born in 2015 and 2018.

The pair are notoriously private but, speaking on their marriage before in an interview on the Today show, Grant said: “"It's really nice, I can't pretend it isn't. I should have done it before. I'm just lucky. I'm lucky. I've got a great wife. I love her."

Speaking on fatherhood, he said it was the “nicest thing that has ever happened”.

How many children does Hugh Grant have?

He shares three children with Eberstein, but has five in total, although the timeline is slightly complicated.

The actor welcomed his first child, a daughter named Tabitha, in September 2011 with his ex Tinglan Hong.

He then welcomed his first child with Eberstein, John Mungo, the year after.

Somewhere along the way, Grant then got back with his ex, Tinglan, and she fell pregnant.

The pair welcomed a third child named Felix, who was born in December 2012 – just three months after the arrival of John Mungo.

The Love Actually star then reunited with now-wife Eberstein, and went on to have further daughters in 2015 and 2018 – but their names are not known.

How did Hugh Grant meet Tinglan Hong?

It is reported that Grant reportedly met her in a Chinese restaurant where she was working as a receptionist and the pair had a relationship from there, albeit a very private one.

The timeline of them getting back together is unknown and neither is it known why they split.

Who else has Hugh Grant dated?

Over a number of years, Grant has hit the headlines for his relationships and their subsequent breakdown.

He was with actress Elizabeth Hurley for around eight years but was caught cheating on her with a sex worker named Divine Brown in Hollywood in 1995.

The pair worker out their differences despite the public scandal but later split in 2000. They remain good friends now.

From 2004 he also dated socialite Jemima Khan but they split in 2007.
