Sam Heughan Wife: Who is Sam Heughan married to?
While Sam keeps details of his reported romance with Australian model, Moniker Clarke, private.
Caitriona secretly married music executive, Tony McGill, in 2019, however, the Irish star’s marriage hasn’t dulled her friendship with her onscreen husband and they’ve only got the sweetest things to say about one another.
Sam and Mackenzie Mauzy met at an ‘industry event’ and started dating. In 2017, Heughan revealed that Mackenzie received hate after news of the couple’s relationship came out: “Initially, it is upsetting but, ultimately, it doesn’t mean anything. It feels like a schoolyard thing.” Sam and Mackenzie were last spotted together during a couple of red carpet events in early 2018.
