As for their decision to wed when they did, there were “tons of reasons,” the Stars Wars alum noted to GQ Style in 2018. “She’s Danish—she’s not a citizen, and she was very pregnant, and there was an element of figuring out ‘Well, where are we going to be?’ And us wanting to be a family unit a bit more.”
And while Isaac argued Danes have different views on marriage and that it “itself becomes less important,” he continued, the couple decided to take the plunge after everything they’d gone through together.
“At the time, right before it happened, my mom was ill, and so I saw her carrying my child, bathing my sick mom—seeing her do that, I just thought: ‘I want to be with this person forever and ever,'” he added. “And I just wanted to take that extra step as well.”
Lind had already been filming Isaac’s preparations for Hamlet when she found out about her pregnancy and Eugenia’s illness, which led to the documentary King Hamlet released in 2025.
Theater “is sort of ephemeral and is meant to show up and go, and the fact that this document exists in that way is a miracle,” the Scenes From a Marriage star said about the Oscar-nominated documentarian at the DOC NYC documentary festival in November, per People. But as he added, “really, the miracle is that Elvira came into my life. And that she does what she does, which is, she never runs away from the sharp edges of life. She doesn’t try to sand them down.”
