Freddie Highmore stars in ABC’s medical drama as Dr. Shaun Murphy, a young autistic surgeon, who relocates from the small town of Casper, Wyoming, to take a job at the esteemed San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital in San Jose, California. Shaun has savant syndrome, a rare condition in which a person with a developmental condition, such as autism, has an amazing talent or ability, according to the SSM Health Treffert Center. Savant syndrome can be congenital or acquired later in childhood or adulthood.
Highmore’s portrayed Dr. Murphy since the first season of The Good Doctor premiered in September 2017. His character is married to Lea Dilallo (Paige Spara), Shaun’s former neighbor.

in September 2019, Highmore spoke to host Jimmy Kimmel on Jimmy Kimmel Live! about the differences between dating in North America and dating women in England. “I just find it quite baffling. In the U.K., it’s very clear when you’re going on a date ‘cause it’s in the evening,” he said. “And it’s like dinner or, I don’t know. … I was going to say disco, but, like, people don’t do discos anymore. [It’s] some sort of obvious date activity.”
In addition to The Good Doctor, Highmore is also known for his roles beginning as a child, including Finding Neverland, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, August Rush and The Spiderwick Chronicles. From 2013 to 2017, he portrayed Norman Bates in the thriller series Bates Motel. So, what do we know about Freddie Highmore’s wife in real life? Here’s who the actor is married to.

To the surprise of viewers, Freddie Highmore secretly got married to an unnamed English woman in 2021. He revealed the exciting and shocking news in an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in September 2021. “I’m as happy as a Brit could be… I’m married to a very wonderful woman now.” When Kimmel asked if she’s a Brit as well, Highmore responded: “She is… I just still can’t get over the terminology and the vocab,” Highmore explained to Kimmel at the time. “A ‘married man’ just sounds very old and ‘my wife’ sounds very possessive. We don’t really use [those terms] yet, but we just point to the rings and be like, ‘Here, look, draw your own conclusions.’” When Kimmel told him the actor to loosen up, Highmore noted that “it’s still the early days.”
Eventually, the mystery British woman’s name was revealed as Klarissa Munz. The actor continues to keep Munz and their relationship out of the public eye. Parade reported that Munz is believed to be a web designer who most likely attended Cambridge University with Highmore.
