Actress Annette Bening is currently in the news after it was announced that she has joined Anya Taylor-Joy on the cast of the upcoming Apple TV+ series Lucky. Bening will play a mob leader named Priscilla opposite Taylor-Joy’s titular character. Accordingly, there is considerable interest in Bening’s personal life, and who she is married to.
Here is everything fans need to know about Annette Bening’s husband, his job, and the children they share.
Who is Annette Bening’s husband?
Bening, 66, is married to Warren Beatty, 88. The couple tied the knot on March 3, 1992. Bening reflected on their relationship during her appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show in January 2024. “I think marriage is like the greatest thing and greatest challenge, to make it all work and stay together, and that is the thing that I am so, so proud of with us,” she told Barrymore.

Before Bening, Beatty was romantically linked to several other Hollywood stars and celebrities, including Diane Keaton, Leslie Caron, and Madonna.
What does Warren Beatty do for a living?
Warren Beatty is an actor and filmmaker. He was nominated for Academy Awards several times in both capacities, eventually winning the Best Director accolade for the 1981 epic historical drama feature Reds.
Per Entertainment Weekly, Beatty and Bening nearly worked together on 1990’s Dick Tracy, but that didn’t happen. Eventually, they appeared opposite each other in 1991’s Bugsy. It was love at first sight for Beatty. “When I met Annette over lunch for Bugsy, I felt immediately that this was going to change my life,” Beatty recalled. “I remember losing interest in the garlic chicken I was eating within 20 seconds. And the garlic chicken had been very good!”
While Bening needed some convincing, she was drawn to his intelligence. She said to Barrymore, “For me, I have to be honest, I was going to meet him, and he was incredibly intelligent. That was honestly the most — [that was] the biggest aphrodisiac.”
Here’s how many kids Annette Bening and Warren Beatty have
Bening and Beatty have four children together. Their eldest, Stephan Ira Beatty, was born on January 8, 1992. They welcomed their second child, Benjamin Beatty, on August 23, 1994, and Isabel Beatty was born on January 11, 1997. Their youngest, Ella Beatty, was born on April 8, 2000.
