In spite of the fact that Ludwig and Rebecca separated in 2015, they still remain friends. Obviously, they maintain cordial relationships mostly because of their son.
Ludwig and Rebecca met when she has just turned 19, and he was 42. They fell in love with each other and soon moved together. In 2007 the couple welcomed the first and the only kid. Rebecca is a family person (as she always tells in her interviews). To create a happy family with her partner, she left a career of an actress and moved to Simrishamn (a community in the south of Sweden, which is usually referred as a “city”, in spite of incredibly small population there).
Ludwig worked as a mental coach. Later Rebecca and he opened a tango school in the city. But in 2011 their calm life changed. Ferguson met Richard Hobert at the market, and Swedish popular film director invited her to act in his new movie “A Simple to Antibes”. Thus, she was involved in the movie industry again, and it actually ruined her family life.
Nowadays, Ludwig lives with his son in Simrishamn. He still runs a dancing school, co-founded by him and his ex-partner, Rebecca. He spends a lot of time with the famous actress when she is free from filming new projects and comes home. He has friendly relationships with Rebecca’s new husband.
Rory (husband since 2018)
Rebecca Ferguson is a public person, but she is really skillful in keeping her private life out of the limelight. She got married in January 2018 and kept this fact in secret for several days, when finally decided to announce the change of her relationship status in press.
She keeps in secret the surname of her husband but tells that his name is Rory and he is a businessman. The actress doesn’t discover the area of his activity, but she confesses that he can work from anywhere, so very often Rory accompanies her when she is away from home with some new project. Thus, they maintain close family relationships in spite of her tough schedule. In May 2018 the couple welcomed a daughter.

Rebecca studied at a prestigious Adolf Fredrik’s Music School. She started to earn money on her own at the age of 16 – the girl was signed with a model agency.

Then she returned to Sweden, fell in love with Ludwig Hallberg and settled in a small community of Simrishamn with him. They opened a tango school, and during several years Rebecca was just a dance coach. But in 2011 she returned to the movie industry.

The actress got the Golden Globe nomination for this screen work. She added some kudos as a big screen actress due to her talented play in “Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation” in 2015.
