Where is Sophie Dymoke From?
A native of Kent, Sophie Dymoke was born precisely in Royal Tunbridge Wells on the 10th of February 1983. Being born in the United Kingdom makes Sophie a British citizen and her ethnic background is said to be White.
Sophie hasn’t said much about her family, though it is common knowledge that she comes from a humble bckground. Her dad worked and earned a living as a factory hand while her mum was a classroom teacher. Sophia’s parents were not earning a fantastic paycheck but they managed to make ends meet with their small income.
Dymoke is not an only child, according to reports, she built childhood memories with her siblings in Kent but their names and information about their professional lives is not known. We equally don’t know how many siblings she has.
She is an Alum of the University of Wales
Growing up in Royal Tunbridge Wells, Sophie Dymoke obtained her basic academic qualifications in that area. At the elementary school level, she experimented with both modeling and acting but later decided she preferred the former.
When it was time for Sophie to proceed to high school, she enrolled with the popular Tunbridge Wells-based Catholic school known as Sacred Heart School. Upon graduation in 1991, she went for further studies at the University of Wales where she studied economics and graduated with a BSc. in 1995.
According to Sophie, one of her best subjects is history and she spent quality time studying the course during her days at the University of Wales.
Right from her days as a student, she has always loved traveling and has visited scenic locations, including Italy, France, Spain, and Florida, and California in the United States.
How Did Sophie Dymoke and Matthew Goode Meet?
It was when Matthew Goode was still residing in the Clapham part of London in 2005 that Sophie Dymoke met him for the first time.
According to the tale that emanated at that time, Matthew just came back from a shooting gig when he encountered Sophie sitting at his doorstep. It happened that Dymoke came around to visit her friend Emily who was Matt’s neighbor but she wasn’t home and it was while waiting for Emily that the British actor came to meet her.
According to Matt, he was totally exhausted having come home from abroad but he managed to carry Sophie’s bag upstairs after inviting her in to wait for Emily.
Reports have it that the attraction was instant, but the proper connection was later made at Emily’s wedding reception and talking about it, Matt dryly notes that their relationship eventually lasted longer than his neighbor’s wedding.
Though they were already going steady as far back as 2005, Matt and Sophie managed to keep fans and the media from guessing that they were dating. The secrecy lasted for a long time before it became public knowledge. In fact, it was at the point when they started cohabiting that fans began suspecting that something was happening between them.
She Became Matthew Goode’s Wife in 2014
Sophie Dymoke and her love interest, Matthew Goode, went on to enjoy a dating period that lasted for the next nine years. However, the details of their dating period are unknown and no one knows when Matt popped the big question. Nevertheless, reports say they tied the connubial knot sometime in 2014 and their wedding took place in the United Kingdom.
They were joined in a private ceremony that was hosted in Matt’s sister’s garden in South East England and was graced by just family members and a few friends.
What does Matthew Goode’s Wife do?
After studying economics, Sophie Dymoke forged a career in the fashion industry as a sales director. She was still a student at the University of Wales when she began building her career at Donna Karan Company LLC where she functioned as an account executive. Her climb up the corporate ladder started properly after graduation.
A few years after her graduation in 2002, Sophie took the conscious decision to move over to the United States and settled in New York City. She soon landed a plum position at Alice + Olivia LLC – a popular clothing company where she spent the ensuing two years as the head of sales; this job spanned from 2002 to 2004.
From Alice + Olivia, Sophie moved over to the popular Italian retail clothing company known as Diesel in 2004; at the firm, she functioned as a sales manager. The Kent native was barely one year old at Diesel before she moved again in May 2005. This time around, she got a better job at Vince as sales director. She spent three long years at Vince, quitting in May 2008 following her decision to take a break that lasted for four years.

The company which was established by Chloe Lonsdale in 2005 is doing quite great and from what is obvious, Sophie may stay on there for as far into the future as possible.
With her extensive knowledge, background, and years of experience in the fashion world, the skilled professional has become a force to reckon with in her field. Even though her only claim to fame is being the wife of Matthew Goode, Sophie’s professional profile tells the story of an expert who has been part of some of the top names in the entire fashion industry.

Matthew Goode is a famed actor of British origin. Born on the 3rd of April 1978, he is a native of Exeter, England. The 46-year-old movie star is the son of Jennifer Goode, a trained nurse who doubles as an amateur theatre director.
His dad, on the other hand, is a Briton called Anthony Goode. Anthony worked and earned a living as a geologist. The actor grew up alongside one sibling named Sally Meen.
Sophie Dymoke’s husband launched his acting career in 2002 at the age of 24. His onscreen debut was recorded on the set of an ABC television movie titled Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister, but this didn’t take him to the limelight. He only started attracting public attention after he starred in the Romantic Comedy entitled Chasing Liberty.
Apart from the above-mentioned, Matt has recorded appearances in other notable productions, including ‘leap year (2010), the 2013 movie, Belle, The Imitation Game in 2014, Self/less, in 2015, and A Single Man. His other production credit includes The Good Wife, The Crown, The Lookout, Downtown Abbey, Stoker, Brideshead Revisited, and many more.
At a point in his career life, Matt became so good that he scored the role of Matthew Clairmont in A Discovery of Witches without having to go through an audition; the fantasy horror story has become one of his best known productions to date. He is expected to grace the screen in Medieval and The King’s Man which are in the post-production stage.
The phenomenal British movie star is reaping his rewards in the form of prestigious awards. While he has been nominated for several, he has bagged a few.
Sophie Dymoke and Matthew Goode Share Three Children
Sophie Dymoke and Matthew Goode obviously didn’t wait to put a ring on their relationship before going on to have children. The couple welcomed their first child, a daughter named Matilda Eve Goode, in 2009.
Four years down the line, Matilda became a big sister to Teddie Eleanor Rose Goode who joined the family in 2013. The only child of the couple that was not born out of wedlock is their son, Ralph Goode, that came in August 2015, barely one year after their nuptials.
Sophie and Matt try to protect their children from the prying eyes of the public as much as possible. They ensure that they live a normal life away from the limelight, though the kids have made a few public appearances with their parents. The Goode family currently lives in London.
Secrete of Matthew Goode and Sophie Dymoke’s Long Relationship
Matthew Goode is one British movie star that is always aloof when quizzed about the secret of his lasting relationship. However, he once opened up in an interview session and according to him, he and Sophie Dymoke have always tried to maintain a healthy relationship in spite of their frantic schedules and tremendous workloads.
Going further, he said they are not the kind of couple that loves to forever cling to each other. Having that habit of always depending on your partner all the time can ruin relationships, Matt said. Thus, the couple has learned to give each other space sometime and go indulge in their individual hobbies.
According to the English actor, when they have sent off their children to school, he would indulge in his personal hobby which has always been fishing. Sophia, he said, has always enjoyed having a good ride on a bike and she just rekindled that hubby. All in all, the two of them will always manage to have some little fun on the side.
Again, Matt is not the type of man that keeps extramarital relationships, according to reports. In fact, in the entire Hollywood, his colleagues even nicknamed him ‘the one-woman-man”
Matt revealed that even celebrities love to enjoy mundane married life just like everyday people do. In a lighter mood, the actor said he and his partner in crime, Sophie Dymoke, often indulge in that so-called “happily boring” life.
Matt’s Attitude to Family is Another Reason their Union has Lasted
From what is obvious, Matt is the kind of celebrity that does not joke with the demands of family life no matter how frantic his schedule might be. In a 2018 interview session with Red Magazine, the British actor said he is super proud of the kind of work-life balance he has created.
According to Sophie Dymoke’s husband, he is totally averse to staying away from his lovely wife and three children for a long time.
Whenever he wants to accept a new role, Matt said, he must put Sophie and the kids into consideration. Ideally, he would prefer to star in a war flick shot in England, with a male-dominated cast with whom he can follow to the pub after hours. In explanation, movies with no sex scenes are his preference. All these are sacrifices he makes for his family.
Again, Matt has been revealed to be a hands-on dad. According to the actor, When the star of The Imitation Game, Benedict Cumberbatch called him to come and be the antagonist in the movie, he had to cut off the call because he just got back with the children from an outing and had to feed them first.
Sophie Dymoke Cuts the Image of a Supportive Wife
On her own part, Sophie Dymoke has proved to be a supportive wife to Matthew Goode. Despite her busy career and role as a mother of three, she still comes out in support of her spouse’s professional life.
It is a strange sight to spot Matt at any event or occasion without seeing Sophie by his side. Some of their public appearances include movie premieres and red-carpet events.
In September 2009, the couple was spotted at Italy’s Venice International Film Festival (66th edition) where they watched the premiere of the movie, A Single Man with Matt playing Jim. One month later, precisely in October 2009, they graced the BFI 53rd London Film Festival. Sophie and Matt were also at the London-based Royal Opera House to attend the 2010 Orange British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA).
September 2014 was when Sophie Dymoke joined her husband at the Toronto International Film Festival for the premiere of The Imitation Game. Similarly, 2015 saw the love birds at the Royal Opera House for the EE British Academy Film Award (967th edition). They also attended many editions of The Moet British Independent Film Awards.
