Holliday Grainger has gripped the nation in BBC crime drama Strike.

Playing Robin Venetia Ellacott, the actress, also credited as Holly Grainger, stars opposite Tom Burke as Cormoran Blue Strike as the pair attempt to solve complex cases that have eluded the police.

Other movies and TV shows in which Holliday, 36, has appeared include Roger and the Rottentrolls, Showtime, The Capture, and the 2012 film adaptation of Charles Dickens’s novel Great Expectations.

But who is this Manchester-born TV star when the cameras aren’t rolling?

We take a dive into Holliday’s home life, who her partner is, and her children…

Is Holliday Grainger married?

Holliday has been in a relationship with Harry Treadaway since 2015, but they are not married.

Harry, 40, is also an actor, with his credits including The Crown (2019), Star Trek: Picard (2020), and The Chemistry of Death (2023).

Devon-born Harry is also an identical twin. Showbiz clearly runs in the family, as his brother, Luke Treadaway, is an actor and singer too.

Luke won an Olivier Award for his performance in the National Theatre’s production of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time in 2013.

Holliday and Harry used to live together in Devon but made the move to London when she fell pregnant.

Despite being famous in their own right, the couple tends to keep their romance pretty low-profile, with Holliday having zero social media presence.

Speaking previously about keeping her relationship private, Holliday admitted that ‘the thought of being recognised in the street is petrifying.’

She’s also been famously humble since her career took off, saying in 2012: ‘I don’t have any massive ambitions to be a movie star.’

Does Holliday Grainger have children?

In May 2021, Holliday and Harry welcomed twin babies into the world.

As the couple tends to keep their family life away from the spotlight, they have not released any details about their children, such as names, sex, or photographs.

However, according to onlookers who have spotted them on family outings, they are very much smitten with their little ones.

In January 2022, the doting parents were seen enjoying a beach walk with the twins, wrapped up to protect themselves from the winter chill.

A passerby then told MailOnline: ‘They were a very happy family enjoying a morning on an almost empty beach.

‘Both were talking to the children, who were giggling in return.

‘The twins appeared to be a boy and a girl, and at one point it looked like they were playing some kind of tag game – girls against boys. 

‘Despite the parents’ fame, no one took a blind bit of notice of them.’

BBC crime drama Strike returns for a sixth series this Christmas.
