Ralph Fiennes

Fiennes was born in Ipswich, Suffolk, England, the son of Mark Fiennes (1933-2004), a farmer and photographer, and Jennifer Lash (1938-1993), a writer. His surname is of Norman origin. He is a third cousin of the adventurer Sir Ranulph Fiennes. The eldest of six children, his siblings are actor Joseph Fiennes (Shakespeare in Love, Luther), Martha Fiennes, a director (in her film Onegin, he acted the title role), Magnus Fiennes, a composer, Sophie Fiennes, a filmmaker, Jacob Fiennes, a conservationist, and his foster brother Michael Emery, an archaeologist.

Fiennes met actress Alex Kingston (Dr. Corday from ER) while both were students at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts. After dating for ten years, they married in 1993. However, they divorced in 1997. In 1995, Fiennes started dating Francesca Annis, an actress 17 years his senior, who played his mother in Hamlet. In February 2006 the couple separated. This came after tabloid reports that said Fiennes had had an affair with Romanian singer Cornelia Crisan. In late 2006, sources reported that Fiennes was dating American actress Ellen Barkin.
