Matthew reflects on his journey with gratitude, stating, “If there’s something people remember you by, there are worse things than the Harry Potter franchise.” The series not only defined his early career but also paved the way for numerous opportunities that allowed him to flourish as an actor. His life took a delightful turn as he found his soulmate, Angela, thanks in part to the magical world of Harry Potter. Here, we delve into their story and how love blossomed amidst fame and fortune.
Getting to Know Matthew Lewis’s Wife
Angela Jones is a self-proclaimed “small-town girl from the suburbs of Central Florida.” She has made a name for herself as a lifestyle blogger, focusing on topics such as fashion, home living, and travel. Angela's relatable content resonates with many, as she shares her journey of self-discovery and personal growth. She confesses that while she initially pursued travel blogging, she found more joy in sharing her fashion sense and daily life experiences.
In a candid conversation during a 2018 Ask-Me-Anything session, Angela expressed her challenges in adhering to the travel blogging lifestyle. “I didn’t enjoy spending my time taking photos of what I was eating and seeing because I liked enjoying the moment,” she shared. This realization led her to redefine her brand, focusing on sharing positivity and fashion instead. Angela's journey serves as a reminder that personal fulfillment and authenticity are the keys to success.
How Matthew and Angela's Love Story Began
Angela’s career took a significant turn when she began handling VIPs and events at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida, which she described as the “greatest destination on Earth.” Her role allowed her to experience her dream career, filled with excitement and memorable moments. It was during one of these events at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in January 2016 that she first met Matthew Lewis.
The chemistry between them was undeniable, and their connection blossomed quickly. Just under a year later, in December 2016, Matthew proposed to Angela in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, a moment that she describes as a fairytale come to life. Their relationship was not without its challenges; they faced the difficulties of long-distance love, often relying on FaceTime to maintain their bond. Despite the struggles, their determination to be together only strengthened their relationship.
Celebrating Their Union
In 2017, Matthew and Angela took a leap of faith by moving to California. The following year, on May 28, 2018, they tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony in Italy. Matthew humorously noted that he missed a concert by Arctic Monkeys in LA because his wife insisted on getting married instead! Their wedding day was filled with love and joy, marking the beginning of their life together as husband and wife.
Angela often shares her admiration for Matthew, highlighting his thirst for knowledge and continuous self-education. “If he doesn’t know something, he will look it up right then and there and then proceed to read five articles about it,” she said. This quality not only inspires Angela but also strengthens their relationship, showcasing the importance of growth and learning in a partnership.
Favorite Characters and Shared Interests
As fans of the Harry Potter series, Angela also shares her favorite character from the films. During her 2018 AMA, she exclaimed, “I love Dobby!” This playful connection to the franchise that brought them together adds another layer to their love story, reminding us that shared interests can create lasting bonds.
Through their journey, Matthew and Angela exemplify the beauty of love, resilience, and personal growth. Their story is a testament to the idea that sometimes, the most unexpected encounters can lead to a happily ever after.
