"Benedict and Sophie were married yesterday surrounded by
their close friends and family. It was a magical day," publicist
Karon Maskill said in a statement.
The couple announced in January that they were expecting their
first child. Cumberbatch, 38, and Hunter, 36, formally announced
their engagement in the U.K. newspaper The Times last November.
Cumberbatch received his first Academy Award nomination this
year, for best actor, for his portrayal of mathematician Alan
Turing in "The Imitation Game," which was also nominated for
best picture.
He won an Emmy last year for his lead role in the British TV
miniseries "Sherlock," a show that built a fervent female
following for the English actor.
