Personal Life
Hawes began a relationship with cartoonist Spencer McCallum in 1995, and married him in December 2001 in Westminster when their son Myles was 20 months old. They separated in 2004, when Hawes started a relationship with her Spooks co-star Matthew Macfadyen. She married Macfadyen in November 2004 in the Richmond-upon-Thames Register Office, and their first child, daughter 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 she is bisexual. Later, in a Daily Mail article, she explained the comments, saying "hat 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, "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.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“The ingrained idea that, because there is no king and they despise titles, the Americans are a free people is pathetically untrue.... There is a perpetual interference with personal liberty over there that would not be tolerated in England for a week.”
—Margot Asquith (1864–1945)
“I favor the policy of economy, not because I wish to save money, but because I wish to save people. The men and women of this country who toil are the ones who bear the cost of the Government. Every dollar that we carelessly waste means that their life will be so much the more meager. Every dollar that we prudently save means that their life will be so much the more abundant. Economy is idealism in its most practical terms.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
