She previously told It's Now Cool that she initially became a model to pay for fashion school but ultimately fell in love with the profession and decided to pursue further opportunities full-time.

"I pursued modeling only for that specific reason," she told It's Now Cool. "After many 'nos' that I didn't accept I kept pushing and eventually was given a shot and signed with my first agency. I started working fairly soon after and it turned into a full-time job for me. I decided I'd ride the wave as long as I was working consistently."

In 2017, Sam recalled their first meeting: "I walked into an audition room, I saw her, and I knew," he said, per Pop Sugar. "I'm not kidding for the life of me." He added, "I called my agent, I said, 'Mate, I am in love.' He's like, 'How did the audition go, mate?' I was like, 'No, no, you don't understand. I have just met the woman I want to marry.'"

Not long after, the two got together, and the rest is history.

The couple tied the knot in 2013 in a private ceremony; two years later, they welcomed their first child, a son named Pip. Laura gave birth to their second child, a daughter called Margot, in February 2018.

Sam recently opened up about his split from Laura and the initial struggle of being a single dad to his two children.

"I'd been through quite a lot personally at the time," he told Variety. "I was in a really bad place. I think I needed to work out a few kinks in my own life, to figure out who I was as this dad on my own in a house outnumbered by two toddlers."

"Then this job coming out the back of that was just the most fun, joyous fresh start," he said of Daisy Jones & The Six.

New episodes of Daisy Jones & The Six drop Fridays, only on Prime Video.
