Since catapulting to fame, starring as an MI6 agent Ilsa Faust in the fan-favorite spy-action flick, Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation in 2015, Rebecca Ferguson has been a slowly emerging leading lady in Hollywood. She has worked in some of the biggest productions in the last few years, including The Girl on the Train, Dune, The Greatest Showman, and the recent installment of the Mission Impossible franchise.
Despite her illustrious professional journey, Rebecca, who turned 40 this October, has managed to stay under the radar. The Swedish actress is a big star in her native, Sweden, and she reckons her international stardom is still newish, making her a less-recognized face amongst the crowd. Ahead is everything you need to know about Ferguson's personal life.

Ferguson's low-key disposition isn't just limited to her professional realm. The Swedish actress, in addition, also leads a low-profile personal life. Rebecca is happily married to her husband, Rory St. Clair Gainer, a businessman, who has made several appearances with his famous wife over the years.
The couple reportedly rented a cottage and invited their close family and friends for witnesses. Ferguson shared that her son, from her previous relationship, served as the ring-bearer in the ceremony, while her then-infant daughter, slept her way through the wedding.

Before embarking on their happily-ever-after, Ferguson and Rory ventured into parenthood when they welcomed a daughter, Sage, in early 2018.
The loved-up spouses have since shared little to nothing about their daughter. Rebecca's marriage with Rory would've remained a secret for a long time had it not been for Ferguson, who opened up about the milestone while promoting her flick, The Kid Who Would Be King. Ferguson shared that she and Rory tied the knot in an intimate ceremony over the holidays in 2018.

Rebecca Ferguson Reveals Her Crush!
Who says that married people can't have crushes? The words married and crush might seem off for some people but not for Ferguson, who has no qualms disclosing her Hollywood infatuation. The Girl on the Train actress is now happily married but there was a time she was crushing hard on her co-star Tom Cruise.
Ferguson, who has now developed a pretty close bond with Cruise and hails him as an "inspiration" recently confessed her feelings for the icon. The Swedish actress shared that she started crushing hard on Tom after watching him in 1994's Interview with the Vampire.
When Ferguson was given the lifetime opportunity to star alongside Cruise, she made sure that Tom learned about her infatuation with him. "I told him when we worked together that I had a big crush. I'm sure he was delighted! Who wouldn't be?" said the actress.
Tom, who has been married and divorced three times, and recently sparked dating rumors with Shakira, was weirdly linked with Ferguson earlier this year after the two were spotted looking joyful at the U.K. premiere of their latest Mission Impossible installment. A source later shared that Cruise has immense love and respect for Rebecca, but he would never cross the line.
