When Hannah Waddingham’s orthopedic surgeon boyfriend, Nick Beresford-Cleary, made his public debut alongside the actress, he appeared somewhat reserved. However, a month later, at the Los Angeles premiere of "Ted Lasso," Beresford-Cleary displayed a notable transformation, drawing attention for his polished appearance.
Beresford-Cleary is among a growing number of individuals dating high-profile celebrities who appear to undergo significant aesthetic changes, often referred to as a 'glow-up.' This phenomenon has been observed in partners of various stars, including Eddie Redmayne’s wife Hannah Bagshawe and Margot Robbie’s husband Tom Ackerley.
According to cosmetic surgeon Dr. Paul Banwell, while access to stylists and grooming services may play a role, the underlying cause of these transformations is often linked to the positive effects of being in a happy relationship. "When someone is in a happy relationship, they're often sleeping better, eating well, exercising more and investing more time in their appearance," Dr. Banwell explained. These lifestyle improvements can lead to healthier skin, improved hair quality, and increased confidence, contributing to a more youthful appearance.
Regarding Beresford-Cleary's observed changes, Dr. Banwell noted, "His face appears leaner and his jawline more defined, giving him a stronger overall profile. That type of change is much more likely to reflect fitness, weight management and improved grooming than cosmetic intervention, and he simply looks healthier and more confident."
Similar transformations have been observed in other celebrity partners. Sophie Hunter, a theatre director married to actor Benedict Cumberbatch, has been noted for a more youthful appearance. Dr. Banwell suggested her improved complexion and softer overall look could be attributed to excellent skincare, lifestyle choices, and makeup.
Luciana Barroso, wife of actor Matt Damon, has also been described as looking "much fresher in recent photographs." Dr. Banwell commented that her skin has a healthier glow and a more even complexion, which can make someone appear younger. He noted that while good skincare can contribute, subtle treatments to improve skin quality are also common among public figures.
Sibi Blazic, wife of Christian Bale, has been described as having a "naturally youthful" appearance. Dr. Banwell observed a fresher look with brighter, more even skin tone, suggesting a combination of good skincare, lifestyle, and potentially non-surgical treatments.
Hannah Bagshawe, who married Eddie Redmayne, also exhibits an "overall freshness" in her appearance post-marriage. Dr. Banwell stated that the emphasis appears to be on healthy skin rather than altering features, whether achieved through skincare, makeup, or professional treatments.
Tom Ackerley, husband of Margot Robbie, has been noted for looking fitter, with a leaner face and healthier skin, contributing to a sharper appearance. Dr. Banwell attributed this to lifestyle, confidence, and a natural maturation.
Camila Alves McConaughey, married to Matthew McConaughey, has shown improvements in skin quality over two decades, appearing more luminous and healthy. Dr. Banwell indicated that this could be due to good skincare and healthy habits, or treatments focused on collagen production and skin texture.
Anne-Marie Corbett, partner of TV presenter Ant McPartlin, is noted for a more "fresh and radiant appearance." Her luminous look is suggested to be a result of good skincare, lifestyle, and potentially non-invasive treatments that enhance skin quality.
