Away from music, the band are family men. Dwane lives with partner Milli Proust in Sussex, where they pursue their “twin passions of floristry and cider making”, according to a recent House & Garden profile. Lovett lives with clothing designer Molly Howard, while Mumford is, famously, married to actor Carey Mulligan. Children abound. The band shun the trappings of celebrity. “I try not to do too much that isn’t associated with my work or the charity stuff we do. You won’t see me falling out of a nightclub in London,” says Mumford. And what about the child-work juggle? I mention Benedict Cumberbatch’s “two-week rule” under which he tries to spend no longer than a fortnight away from his family. “He nicked that from me, the bastard! My rule,” says Mumford. “Yeah. We try not to normalise distance.” Source link
