Who is Josh Charles married to? The Good Wife star’s wife pokes fun at Taylor Swift's wedding no phone policy

The Good Wife alum Josh Charles has made multiple headlines recently, as his wife Sophie Charles had a playful dig at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's no-phones wedding rule. Sophie, who is now forty-two years old, posted a video to her Instagram on July 4 with the caption

"Snuck a phone into MSG."

The clip showed her cracking open a gold flip-phone pendant from her jewelry company, Mad Fine, after which she added,

"Not a functional phone!"

Josh Charles and Sophie, formerly Sophie Flack, have been married since Sept. 6, 2013, when the couple exchanged vows at a private Manhattan residence, followed by dinner at an upscale Italian restaurant. That being said, Sophie wasn't the only one poking fun at the no-phones policy. Joseph Kahn, who directed several of Swift's music videos, took to X sharing that he was ready to have his phone back, writing,

"I haven't been without my phone that long since 1992."

As per a statement shared on July 3, a rep for Taylor Swift, confirmed that Swift and Travis Kelce had officially wed. Austin Swift served as his sister's Man of Honor, Jason Kelce stood as Travis' Best Man, and the ceremony was officiated by friend Adam Sandler.

Before Taylor Swift's wedding, Josh Charles had already crossed paths with Travis Kelce on a music video set:

As per a report shared by The New York Times, Josh Charles grew up in Baltimore as the younger son of an advertising executive and a gossip columnist. He was drawn to comedy early. His parents took him to open mic nights as a young kid, and a summer spent at theater camp ended up being the experience that pointed him toward performing for good.

Charles dropped out of high school and made his professional debut at fifteen, playing a sneering teenager in John Waters' Hairspray. Two years later he landed a role as a prep school kid in Dead Poets Society, the 1989 box office hit that took home the Oscar for best screenplay. His co-star Ethan Hawke later recalled that Charles was a funny teenager who genuinely loved acting and would talk about Baltimore sports teams.

That being said, Josh Charles wasn't the only one in the Dead Poets Society cast to later cross paths with Taylor Swift. Both he and Hawke appeared in Swift's Fortnight music video, and it was on that very set that Charles cornered Swift's then-fiancé Travis Kelce to bend his ear about a bad call made against the Ravens.

As per a report shared by The Sun, Sophie's background is equally varied. The forty-two-year-old studied at Columbia University and danced professionally with the New York City Ballet before pivoting to a career that spans authoring, journalism, ghostwriting and editorial consultation. Her most recognized work is Bunheads, a novel she drew directly from her own years in the competitive world of New York City ballet.

What happened between Josh Charles and Travis Kelce on the set of Taylor Swift's Fortnight video:

Josh Charles is a Baltimore Ravens fan, and the Kansas City Chiefs beating Baltimore in the AFC Championship game that year left him with some unfinished feelings toward Travis Kelce. He said so directly to Kelce's face. Josh Charles recounted the story on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on January 5, sharing that the two had crossed paths on the set of Taylor Swift's Fortnight music video.

Josh Charles told Fallon that Kelce's behavior during that particular season had put him off,

"That year they beat us in the AFC Championship game...they beat the Ravens...he was a real jerk that year. So I kind of fell off of him. When I met him, I said, 'You know I always liked you, and this year you were kind of a d***.' "

Kelce's response caught Charles off guard.

"He said, 'You know what, you're right,' " Charles shared.

Kelce went on to tell Charles that the Chiefs had marked that specific game down as their biggest of the entire season, and that pulling off the win had been a massive deal for the team.
