Sewell’s connection to Wales runs deep. His mother, Jo Sewell, owned The Pelican, the former home of Dylan Thomas’s parents, in Laugharne, further cementing the significance of choosing Manorbier Castle as their wedding venue.
This marks the third marriage for Sewell, who was previously married to Yasmin Abdallah and Amy Gardner. The actor’s whirlwind romance with Benitez began sometime last year, culminating in a romantic proposal in Rome last December.

Benitez even playfully addressed the age gap in an Instagram post after their engagement, joking, “Please pass on to anyone worried about our age difference, that it’s ok now- I turned 27 this morning.”
As the newlyweds embark on their journey together, fans and well-wishers around the world extend their heartfelt congratulations, wishing them a lifetime of happiness and love.
