Emma Wall, the wife of actor Jeremy Strong, is not only a family woman but also a child psychiatrist. Originally from Denmark, she attended prestigious universities such as Brown University, Oxford University Medical School, and Columbia University and Cornell University for her fellowship and residency. Wall has dedicated her career to working with children in need, including those in the foster care system and immigrants facing deportation.
In addition to her work in psychiatry, Wall co-founded Guest House Productions and co-directed the documentary Guerilla Habeas. This film, part of MSNBC's The Turning Point doc series, sheds light on the struggles and legal battles faced by immigrants in the United States. Wall's motivation to create the documentary stemmed from her outrage over the human rights violations and injustices occurring within the immigration system.
Wall and Strong first crossed paths at a party during Hurricane Sandy in 2012. After four years of dating, they tied the knot in 2016 at the historic Dragsholm Slot castle in Denmark. The couple splits their time between Brooklyn and Copenhagen, finding solace in Denmark during the hectic nature of Strong's acting career.
The couple has three children together. Their first daughter, Ingrid, was born in 2018, followed by Clara in 2019. They recently had their third child in 2021, whose name has not yet been revealed. Despite Strong's demanding schedule, Wall commends him for his dedication to being present as a father. She appreciates his ability to balance work with family life, creating a stable and nurturing environment for their children.
Strong expressed how becoming a parent has brought stability and a sense of home to his life. He shared a special necklace on The Late Late Show With James Corden that symbolized his daughters. He also thanked Wall during his acceptance speech at the 72nd Emmy Awards, where he won the Outstanding Lead Actor category for his role in Succession.
The couple is often seen supporting each other at various high-profile events, such as the Met Gala and The Albies. They made an appearance at the 2023 Met Gala, with Wall stunning in a sleek gown and Strong opting for a unique ensemble. Additionally, they attended The Albies, hosted by the Clooney Foundation for Justice, where Wall wore an elegant black gown and Strong donned a stylish tuxedo.
