Biography

Hawes began a relationship with the cartoonist Spencer McCallum in 1995, and they married in December 2001 in Westminster, London; their son Myles was 20 months old. They divorced in 2004. In 2002, Hawes began a relationship with Matthew Macfadyen, her Spooks co-star, eventually marrying him in November 2004 in the Richmond-upon-Thames Register Office. Their first child, Maggie, was born two months later. Their second child, son Ralph, was born in September 2006.

In 2002, after working on the television adaptation of Tipping the Velvet, Hawes was quoted in interviews with Diva magazine and Radio Times as saying that she is bisexual. Later, in a Daily Mail article, she explained that "what I actually said was that everybody is probably perfectly capable of finding somebody of the same sex attractive, but I certainly haven't had any lesbian relationships", and in the Radio Times, she said "maybe what I meant is that everyone is a little bit bisexual. I've been married twice, both times to men".

Along with her husband, Hawes is a patron of CHASE hospice care for children. In 2009, she filmed a video introduction and recorded voiceovers for a Virtual Tour of Christopher's, the CHASE Children's Hospice in Surrey. The couple are also both patrons of the Lace Market Theatre in Nottingham.
