Laura Benanti, a Tony Award-winning actress who has worked on stage and screen for over two decades, is a well-known performer.

She made her Broadway debut in The Sound of Music, opposite Richard Chamberlain, when she was 18 years old.

She has been nominated for five Tony Awards, including one for her role as Louise in the 2008 Broadway revival of Gypsy, for which she won Best Featured Actress in a Musical.

For her portrayal in the Broadway musical Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown in 2010, Benanti received the Drama Desk Award and the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical.

Her significant on-screen performances include series regular roles on Go On with Matthew Perry and Samantha Bee, Jason Jones’ TBS comedy The Detour, and FX’s Starved.

She’s also been on Supergirl, Nashville, The Good Wife, Law, and Order: SVU, Elementary, Nurse Jackie, Eli Stone, and The Big C, among others.

With all of her amazing achievements, the actress has made a name for herself in the entertainment industry.

Benanti is just a doting mother to her little child and a loving wife to her husband, Patrick Brown, behind all the glitz and glam.

For nearly five years, she’s been happily married.

On November 15, 2015, the Supergirl star married her boyfriend Brown in Harlem’s Riverside Church in New York City.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson of Modern Family and Connie Britton of Nashville were among the guests at the private wedding, which comprised family members, close friends, and Hollywood colleagues.

The brunette beauty wore an Anne Barge-designed strapless mermaid gown fashioned with French Aleçon lace. The stunning bridal appearance was completed with a scalloped sweetheart neckline, hand-embroidered appliques, a flowing chapel-length train, and a modest wreath headpiece.

In June 2015, the Broadway legend revealed her engagement to Brown by posting an Instagram photo of her diamond ring.

On the social networking platform, the actress also announced her marriage by posting photographs of her wedding band.

The 41-year-old singer was first hesitant to share photos from her wedding day on social media because it was her third time down the aisle.

In the end, it was her husband who convinced her that she was free to be happy and enjoy the moment.

“I never pass judgment on you.” I never had a negative impression of you. While proposing to Benanti, he stated, “I never fault you for your life.”

In 2016, she told W magazine about the experience, saying that while it may not appear to be the most romantic thing in the world, it was extremely romantic for her since she felt recognized.

“It wasn’t my first proposal,” she noted, “but it was his.”

Benanti previously had two long-term relationships. She married Chris Barron, the Spin Doctors’ lead vocalist, in 2005, but the couple divorced after only a year together.

In 2007, she married actor Steven Pasquale, but the couple divorced in 2013, after nearly six years of marriage.

“After almost six years of marriage, Steven Pasquale and Laura Benanti are amicably filing for divorce,” the couple said in a statement to Broadway.com in 2013. They’re still friends, and they’re still in love.”

Parents of a Lovely Daughter

Benanti and Brown welcomed their first child, Ella Rose Benanti-Brown, in February 2017 after two years of marriage.

Ella weighed 7 pounds, 12 ounces, and measured 22 inches when she was born in Mt. Sinai West with the Midwifery of Manhattan in New York City.

The pregnancy was good news for the couple, who had previously suffered a loss.

Benanti described her daughter as independent, similar to her mother, but also witty. “She, like myself, laughs at her own jokes,” she told People in 2019.

“She definitely enjoys doing stuff she isn’t supposed to do.”

The most rewarding aspect of parenthood for the actress is simply watching her child grow up surrounded by her and her husband’s love.
