Love was indeed in the air at Oscars 2024! Marcus Mumford, the husband to the talented Carey Mulligan, celebrated her third Academy Award nomination in grand style. Mulligan, 38, wowed audiences with her portrayal of Felicia Montealegre in “Maestro,” earning her applause for Best Actress.
However, the lovey-dovey didn’t end on stage. In a heartwarming TikTok on Monday, March 11, 2024, Mumford, 37, paid homage to the Oscar nominee. The Grammy winner carried his wife throughout the hallways.
All these happened while the nominated Barbie song “I’m Just Ken,” performed by Barbie nominee Ryan Gosling, played in the background. Whoever said love and talent can’t go hand-in-hand in Hollywood again?
A Sweet Gesture
Throughout the video, Marcus Mumford sweeps his Oscar-nominated wife, Mulligan, off her feet. That’s pure magic if you ask me. The “Maestro” actress giggles in her husband’s arms as he moves her through the building — and serves as the “Ken” to her “Barbie.” During their journey through the halls, Mumford dodges oncoming people and corners with finesse.

An Instagram Love Letter
While everyone was swooning over the couple’s TikTok fairytale, Mumford poured his heart into an Instagram carousel. In one snapshot, the Mumford & Sons singer kisses Mulligan’s cheek, and her radiant smile illuminates the frame. Another image reveals Mumford’s tender gaze on his wife as they wait in a van.
However, it’s the behind-the-scenes glimpse that genuinely tugs at the heartstrings. Through the window, Marcus Mumford captures Mulligan in her transformation, his reflection mirroring her. With each camera click, Mumford’s love is indeed a love story fit for the silver screen.
Proud Husband Moment
Mumford captioned the Instagram post, which he shared on his Instagram Stories. “I’m proud of my wife,” he stated. Their love story began in 2012 in the most unlikely of places. Where, you may ask? The couple first met as preteens at a Christian youth camp.

Despite the distance between them, Marcus Mumford and Mulligan remained pen pals. Their friendship grew over the years until fate would have it, and they found each other again as adults.
A Growing Family
Fast forward to the present day, the adorable couple are now proud parents to three beautiful children. They first welcomed their daughter Evelyn Grace seven years ago in 2015, followed by the birth of their son Wilfred, who is now five.
In November 2023, the couple joyfully announced the newest addition to their family, another daughter whose name remains unknown. Notably, Mulligan was nominated alongside Annette Bening, Lily Gladstone, Sandra Hüller, and eventual winner Emma Stone for “Poor Things.”
Barbie Hitmaker Takes Center Stage
Shockingly, the singer of the beloved Barbie hit “I’m Just Ken” was also a nominee for Best Supporting Actor. His nomination was alongside notable contenders like Sterling K. Brown for “American Fiction,” Robert De Niro for “Killers of the Flower Moon,” Mark Ruffalo for “Poor Things” and winner Robert Downey Jr. for “Oppenheimer.”
Barbie Showdown
Ryan Gosling, 43, shows down Barbie proportions, bringing his infectious “Ken-energy” to the stage while performing “I’m Just Ken.” Gosling’s charisma filled the room as the crowd danced in their seats, but it wasn’t enough to secure the win. Sad, right?
The battle for Best Original Song continued as Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell stole the spotlight with “What Was I Made For?” These two Barbie contenders faced stiff competition from other original tunes, including “The Fire Inside” from “Flamin’ Hot,” “It Never Went Away” from “American Symphony,” and “Wahzhazhe (A Song for My People)” from “Killers of the Flower Moon.”
In the end, Eilish and O’Connell won, leaving a lasting impression on audiences worldwide.

Marcus Mumford and Mulligan’s bond continues to inspire, proving that true love knows no distance and that miracles can happen when you least expect them. Their bond on and off the screen paints a picture of true Hollywood romance.
