Jo Green’s relationship with Hugh Laurie

Hugh Laurie and Jo Green dated for a year and finally got married on the 16th ^day of June 1989 in Camden, UK. They have three children together. Hugh Laurie is a popular British director, musician, singer, comedian and actor, known as Dr. House in the popular medical television series ‘House’ and his father in the film ‘Stuart Little’. In 2007 he was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE).

In 2016, Hugh Laurie received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame contest. He has won the Golden Globe Award three times and the Screen Actors Guild Award twice. He has also been nominated ten times for the Primetime Emmy Awards.

In 2011, he was listed in the Guinness World Records as the most-watched personality on television and among the highest-earning actors on television, earning $409,000 per episode of House.

The couple revealed their marriage had a challenge in 2004 when Hugh began filming the series ‘House’, having to spend up to nine months a year as the filming and filming location was in the United States.

It was also known that Hugh Laurie had suffered severe depression due to the absence of his wife and children, and it was so obvious that even the executive directors had planned to help him deal with his depression. However, it was said that in 2008 the couple agreed to move to the United States temporarily and would stay together until Hugh finished filming. This prompted Hugh to plan on obtaining a more welcoming place for him and his family in the United States.

New rumors about their relationship brewing for the Rocks surfaced when reports claimed that the planned move to the United States would not materialize. The couple decided not to go through with the relocation plans and some reports suggested it was because they were going to be separated, others claimed the brief extramarital affair Hugh had in the past while in the States States had prompted him. The couple issued a statement in their defense, saying it was due to Hugh and Green’s dedication to an English education.

Hugh told the Daily Mail at the time:

“I wouldn’t say doing the show made my marriage any easier. Better? I don’t know either. “

There is no doubt that the number of months Hugh had been away from home, the shootings had an effect on their marriage. Despite all the hardships, they have found a way to make it work as they stay together despite the breakup rumors.

In an interview with the Standard, Joanna was asked about her husband and she replied:

“He is a remarkable man to know. I owe him everything. He is the real thing. Gifted, phenomenally intelligent and wise”

The TV series ‘House’ ended in 2012 and Hugh Laurie moved back to the UK to rejoin his family which ended all speculation regarding divorce/separation issues. They stay together and enjoy their marriage. They have been photographed together on trips and vacations.
