Radhika Apte Pregnant With First Child: Who Is Her Husband - Benedict Taylor?

Actress Radhika Apte is expecting her first child. The news of her pregnancy became official after the photos of her from the UK premiere of her film, 'Sister Midnight' at the BFI London Film Festival hit the internet.

In the pictures the actress shared on her Instagram account, Radhika sported a black off-shoulder bodycon dress. Her baby pictures took many by surprise as there were no hints of her pregnancy. Moreover, many netizens wondered who her husband was and were clueless about her marriage.

It is because the bold actress had rarely spoken about her marriage life and her husband in interviews. She has tightly guarded her private life, unlike her contemporaries.

Who is Radhika Apte's husband?

Benedict Taylor is a British avant-garde violist, violinist, and composer, renowned for his work in contemporary composition, modern string performance, and improvised music. His career spans live performance, film, theatre, contemporary dance, art installations, and electroacoustic composition, with a focus on new music in the British and European scenes.

Taylor's personal life gained attention when he met actress Radhika Apte in London, where she was studying contemporary dance. Despite the challenges of long-distance relationships, the couple has successfully navigated their long-distance marriage with love and dedication.

In an earlier interview, Radhika opened up about the difficulties of being apart, especially before the pandemic, when they spent long periods away from each other. She described how the separation was often heartbreaking, but they made it work by sharing the same values and giving each other the freedom to grow as individuals. According to her, the key to their successful relationship has been understanding and acceptance, both of themselves and each other.

Though married for 12 years, Radhika revealed that she was initially skeptical of marriage. She candidly admitted in an interview that she got married to Taylor primarily for visa reasons, as they wanted to live together without logistical barriers. Despite her disbelief in the institution of marriage, the couple has built a strong bond.

In another conversation, Radhika shared the secret to their healthy marriage, saying they make a conscious effort to meet every month, whether in India or London. This commitment to spending quality time together has helped them maintain their long-distance relationship over the years.
