Alicia Vikander's private relationship with Michael Fassbender

Alicia, who has been pretty private about her relationship and personal life, met Michael in 2014 on the set of their film 'The Light Between Oceans,' in which they played onscreen husband and wife, reports DailyMail. Talking about Alicia, Michael told in 2016, "We had met at Toronto Film Festival on the dance floor. I thought [I was a good dancer] until she started dancing and then I felt like I had two left feet," as per Entertainment Tonight.

The couple said that they first "properly" met during rehearsals for the film in 2014, but their chemistry "was sort of there from the beginning," expressed Michael. Alicia said, "There was a load of dancing in the mornings, actually," to which Michael added, "Because it was cold." The same year, Alicia told Entertainment Weekly, "I think we've made a clear statement that we keep certain things just between us. It was very easy to unite, but that's quite personal." While Michael said, "Each to their own. I'm not going to talk about my private life with a total stranger unless I feel like I need to. Why would I? I don't."

The two made their first appearance as a couple at Formula One Grand Prix in Monte Carlo in 2016, as per US Weekly. They got married in Ibiza in October 2017, and now have one son together, named Mark who was born in 2021. They are currently living together in Lisbon, Portugal.
