These two stars met while working together on Broadway in 1993 in Anna Christie. Despite one being married at the time, sparks flew between them. Eventually, her marriage ended, and she married the actor in 1994. They have two sons together.

Their deep connection was evident from the start, with undeniable chemistry on and off the stage. Years later, the actress admitted she didn’t mind his reputation for being charming with women, telling Country Living, “I’m glad that women fall in love with him because I know why.”

After marrying, their love grew stronger. Their first son was born in 1995, followed by their second 18 months later.

Tragically, in 2009, Natasha Richardson suffered a fatal head injury while skiing. Though initially seeming fine, her condition rapidly worsened, and she was declared brain dead. Her husband, Liam Neeson, honored their promise and made the difficult decision to turn off her life support after family and friends said goodbye.

Their oldest son, Micheál, followed in his parents’ footsteps as an actor, appearing in films like Anchorman 2 and Vox Lux. To honor his mother, he later changed his last name to Richardson, telling The Times, “It was mostly a tribute to my mother and a way to carry her with me.” His father, Natasha’s mother, and sisters all appreciated the heartfelt gesture.

Micheál has since built a strong acting career, often working alongside his father in movies such as Cold Pursuit and Made in Italy. He keeps his mother’s memory close, continuing the family’s legacy.

A truly touching story — Natasha Richardson would surely be proud.
