“Mr B.T. Cumberbatch and Miss S.I. Hunter
The engagement is announced between Benedict, son of Wanda and Timothy Cumberbatch of London, and Sophie, daughter of Katherine Hunter of Edinburgh and Charles Hunter of London.”
Hunter, 36, and Cumberbatch have reportedly been dating for almost a year but weren’t seen together publically until June when the couple were photographed together at the French Open.
The announcement comes only weeks after another eligible bachelor tied the knot. Hollywood star, George Clooney, married human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin.
A wedding date was not given in the announcement.
