Dianna Agron, best known for her role as Quinn Fabray on Glee, is making a highly anticipated return to the spotlight with her first major project since the beloved musical series. The actress, who has spent some time focusing on her personal life after marrying Winston Marshall, is starring in Novitiate, a gripping drama set in the 1960s. This is a film that speaks about the lives of young nuns, which has already received great reviews for its touching story and Agron’s powerhouse performance. This film is, therefore, one sure way of welcoming her back, since many fans of this actress have been waiting to see her back on the big screen.
Novitiate marks the first major project for Agron since she tied the knot with Winston Marshall, the talented musician who is similarly making waves. Best known as a guitarist and banjo player for the British band Mumford & Sons, that group has similarly enjoyed global success with its folk-inspired sound. His musical career and artistic collaborations no doubt brought him recognition in the world of music. The shared interest in the arts for both of them certainly influenced their personal and professional life, and they have been supportive of each other’s careers. Agron and Marshall got married in 2016, and their love relationship has become a point of interest for fans and media alike.
While Agron had taken a while from the fore of public appearances over the years, Novitiate represents a bold new chapter in the young woman’s career. Boasting impressive acumen as a serious actress coupled with more discriminately chosen role-revealing-of-her-chops, this signals Agron hasn’t lost much steam on a creative level all this time. And with whatever happens next as their professional tales unravel, nothing excites followers of the industry more-but of course: for this brilliant actress and her eponymous and talented husband together.

Marshall Is a Musician
Agron and her husband share musical inclinations. While she’s always had a love for musical performance, Marshall is a famous folk musician. He’s most famous as the banjoist and lead guitarist of British folk music band, Mumford and Sons!
Winston Marshall is a founding member of the band, together with Marcus Mumford, Ben Lovett, and Ted Dwane. Along with the banjo, he’s skilled with the bass guitar, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, and dobro, and provides backing vocals to their music.
Before they founded Mumford and Sons, Marshall was part of another band with Marcus Mumford and Dwane. He used to run a jam night at a small nightclub and played with bands like Captain Kick and The Cowboy Ramblers.
Marshall’s Father Is a Businessman
Born in London, Winston Marshall’s background doesn’t scream music. His father is Paul Marshall, the eminent British investor who founded Marshall Wace LLP. It is one of the largest hedge fund groups in Europe.
Paul Marshall is well-known in British political circles and has written extensively on economics and education. He is one of the pioneers in developing education programs for the inner cities.
Furthermore, he is a trustee of several education-promoting organizations and spun out initiatives like Teaching Leaders, Future Leaders, Maths Mastery, Frontline, English Mastery, and Now Teach.
Marshall’s mother, Sabina de Balkany, is of French origin, and he has a sister named Giovanna.
Marshall Was Linked to Katy Perry
Around the time she was rumored to be in an on-and-off romance with John Mayer, Katy Perry was spotted cozying up to the banjoist in 2015. The British rocker and the “Roar” hitmaker reportedly “hooked up” after Perry’s concert in Berlin. But rumors of this romance fizzled out quickly.
It’s not exactly known when Marshall and Agron met and began their romance. Agron has dated some pretty famous guys in the past like Thomas Cocquerel, Luke Bracey, and Dave Franco, just to name a few.

A Moroccan Affair
After six months together, the 28-year-old proposed to Agron in December 2015. But their low-key engagement wasn’t confirmed until Agron flaunted her sparkling ring a few weeks later at London Fashion Week.
The couple escaped to Morocco to tie the knot in an exquisite ceremony. The Glee star donned a gorgeous sequin-embellished tulle dress by Valentino and topped it with a crown of silver stars. Winston Marshall matched his brocade jacket with a turban.
After their wedding, Dianna Agron took a break from acting to enjoy her newlywed life with Winston Marshall. Novitiate is her first project since their destination wedding.
