Kit’s parents are Benedict Cumberbatch and his wife, Sophie Hunter. Benedict Cumberbatch is a name that needs no introduction in the movie industry. He is a British actor who gained prominence on sets of productions like Sherlock Holmes, Atonement, The Imitation Game, Black Mass, and many more.
His mum Sophia also works in entertainment, albeit in behind the scene roles. When she is not functioning as a theatre director, Benedict’s wife fills her time as a playwright.
Christopher’s first name came from a character his father depicted in the popular series, Parade’s End, and his second name was given in memory of his paternal grandfather.

Two years after Christopher was born, his parents welcomed their second son, Hal Auden Cumberbatch, who joined the family on the 3rd of March 2017. Benedict was on the set of Live With Kelly and Ryan when he announced that they were about to become parents for the second time in 2016.
The British actor was excited about his forthcoming child.

On Valentine’s Day of 2015, Benedict and Sophie exchanged wedding vows in England, right on the Isle of Wright. It was a private affair with family and close friends in attendance.
By the time the 2015 Academy Awards was hosted, Christopher Carlton Cumberbatch’s mum was already very heavy, and she was spotted showing off her baby bump in a beautiful red gown as her husband was named a nominee for best actor in the movie for the character he depicted in The Imitation.
Christopher Carlton Cumberbatch’s Parents Keep Him Away from Public Scrutiny
Christopher Carlton Cumberbatch lives his life away from the penetrating eyes of the public, as that has always been his father’s desire. Benedict and Sophie even kept the boy’s name under wraps until three months after his birth when they unveiled it.
The boy is inching towards his eighth year but is rarely seen in public, as the proud father does take his little boy out. There was a time the actor revealed that he brought Christopher with him on set while filming the movie entitled Doctor Strange. Benedict said he wished to build his family the traditional way.
The movie star has told fans that his son and wife aren’t part of his publicity stunt, and he has described those that go stalking as obsessive and deluded. Benedict said their behaviors are scary.
