Just think, it was less than five months ago that I was really, really worried that Alice Eve was banging Benedict Cumberbatch. And now here we are! Alice Even confirmed her engagement to her “high school sweetheart” yesterday. I think that’s an American way of saying it, “high school sweetheart”. What do they say in Britain? “Prep school chum” or something? Anyway, Alice met Alex Cowper-Smith when they were teenagers and they dated for a while, broke up, dated other people for years and then got back together last year. And now they’re getting married.
Alice Eve is engaged! The Star Trek Into Darkness actress, 32, plans to marry U.K. financier Alex Cowper-Smith, her reps confirm to PEOPLE.
The pair first dated as teenagers while attending the Westminster School in London.
Later, Eve dated poet Adam O’Riordan – the pair met while both were college students at Oxford – but they eventually split in 2012, according to U.K. reports.
Eve began her acting career in her native England and first gained fame among American audiences in the 2009 film Crossing Over, starring alongside Harrison Ford and Ashley Judd.
She has also appeared in She’s Out of My League, Entourage and Sex and the City 2 – as Charlotte York’s intimidatingly sexy British nanny.
She dated a “poet”?! Like, that was his career? Yikes. No disrespect to all of the professional poets out there (because of course you’re reading Celebitchy!!), but “dating a poet” is something that you can only really do in college. Beyond that, you need to stop dating poets. CoughAmberHeardCOUGH. Anyway, it’s good to see that Alice didn’t want to tie herself down long-term to a poet (although it sounds like they were together for like nine years). At the end of the day, she ended up with a “financier” which basically means he’s wealthy and probably sort of boring. This happened quickly too – when she was promoting Star Trek Into Darkness last summer, she kept telling people she was single. Well, at least it’s not a poet. Or Benedict Cumberbatch. I approve.
Also: I swear, I wasn’t actively looking for her most bitch-faced photos, these were just some of the newest photos we had of her.

*fart*
Congrats to them.
I don’t see why a woman couldn’t date a “poet”.
If he actually publishes his work and gets paid, that’s fine. Otherwise, the title of “poet” could be a bit empty as a job title for keeping the family together, I would think.
I looked him up on the internet. If his website isn’t embellished, it looks like he actually does have a career and a job. So dating him sounded fine. He’s not bad-looking. Although considering what she looks like, that probably makes sense….
i think because the stereotype is that most of those poets are poets mainly in their own imagination.
No idea who this chick is, but good for her….?
No idea who she is but that must be one big shoehorn she uses to get into those dresses. Size up, girl.
The important point is that she’s not dating batches of cumbers. That’s what I got out of it and I still am clueless who she is, although something something star trek.
Got it. Another potential rival disposed of. Whew.
Thank you, she’s got a great body, don’t know why she doesn’t dress for it. How on earth does she even sit down without seams bursting? She must be shopping at Kardashian Konsignments…
Had no idea she went to Oxford.
She wasn’t british in satc2 she was meant to be irish hence the “ah ladies sure tisnt it a glooooroius mornin'” bollocks and fiddle music to accompany her tits wobbling.
I say meant because her accent was so bloody stereotypical it gave me stabby feelings.
Ah, lassie, dunnu you like me accent, then?
I didn’t see it, but it’s giving me secondhand stabby just hearing about it.
Thank you. Now I have images of tits wobbling with fiddle music. Which would be awesome if
1) I leaned that way
2) it wasn’t so early in the morning
Funny, lindy79, and now I want Lucky Charms for breakfast. They’re magically delicious, you know.
Her tits must have been killing her after one scene where she jumped rope with the kids and cartwheeled with no bra on.
Mine ached just looking at it and they’re only a C.
Kiddo I’d have preferred the Lucky Charms guy to be the nanny.
I haven’t seen the movie (as I don’t care about that series) but that sounds cringe-worthy.
That’s actually sweet, all these years later they’re together again.
Agree with GoodNames that her dresses look uncomfortably small.
I’m going to need pictures so I can judge.
Never a fan of her, but I love her bitch face. On point.
Pregnancy speculation in 3, 2, 1…
Eh, I don’t know why but I like her. She was great in Starter for Ten (?), and of course She’s Out of Your League. Maybe it’s b/c she doesn’t disappear when she turns sideways.
@Lottie – same here, I think she’s a rockin’ chick. For me I think it’s because, as a fellow member of the Resting Bitch Face Club, I’m compelled to support anyone in that particular sisterhood. But yes, I also like that she’s not the usual Hollywood size 0.
I didn’t realize she was English, I think I’ve only seen her in She’s Out of Your League and the Cumber-Trek movie (that’s what it was called, right?). I totally bought her ‘Murican accent in She’s Out of Your League.
Ok I don’t want to accuse her of being a gold digger because they seem like they have a sweet, healthy relationship. But judging by her “work” in acting lately, I can’t help but get that impression. Pretty lady though.
Same thought. I’m not a fan of her acting or how she comes across in interviews and fan interactions but I don’t *hate* her… though I do get the feeling she’s a gold digger or at least looking for “security” via a spouse/partner since her career isn’t exactly setting the world on fire.
@GeeMoney: IDK… I don’t hate her in that I wish her no ill will or harm, I don’t hope she fails as an actress, etc. I just don’t care for her acting or how she comes across in interviews/fan interactions. She might be a very lovely person IRL but I just don’t care for her public persona.
I get your point, but must also point out that her family has some money. Father and mother are quite successful actors in Britain.
Do you honestly think a gold digger would marry a POET? No… she would marry a wealthy businessman or professional athlete. Come on.
The hate that Alice Eve receives from this site is ridiculous.
Crap… I thought that she was marrying the poet, not a financier. My bad.
Who knows if she’s a gold digger or not… anyways, congrats to her and I hope that her and her fiance are happy.
I still think the hate she gets from this site is ridiculous, though.
I have noticed a lot of negativity towards her on this site and many others (when they’re not talking about how gorgeous she is or how great her chest area is). They usually range from:
She’s a terrible actress, she’s so bland, she’s a famewhore, she’s making rumors about sleeping with Cumberbatch (hisses), she’s arrogant/self-obsessed, and that she’s not very nice in real life.
I can’t confirm any of these things ( I don’t think she’s a good actress and she does come off as a little bland though), then again I don’t know her so.
But we’re not expressing any hate towards her. We just acknowledge her limited acting skills, the fact that she does seem to crave attention, and her getting engaged to a financier (despite saying something about not being able to stay in a relationship because of her high sex drive) does raise a few eyebrows. But we’re not saying anything nasty per say.
You can’t say you’ve noticed that people on this site are negative towards her and then say that you aren’t expressing any hatred towards her. Negativity and hate pretty much go hand in hand. And if you really read the comments that are expressed here about her, the hate towards her is pretty much implied.
Adam O’Riordan is genuinely an award-winning poet, guys. That’s what he does to earn his money. His stuff’s pretty good, and he seems like a lovely man in interviews. Throw that shade elsewhere!

Glad I am not the only one to note this.
Ditto. He’s one of Britain’s best working poets, as in he is good enough to actually make a living at it. American poetry is a shambles because no one takes it seriously as a craft/profession. In college I took a class with a former poet laureate who said we’ve probably lost two generations of poets to shame and the trashcan. I wonder where our arts and letters would be at today if we didn’t deride people for having an interest in the erudite arts.
The US really needs to get over its bias against poets, poetry, and people who can actually speak and write the language beautifully, instead of just screaming about being in favor of “English only” while butchering the grammar.
Ahh but who can really judge that being massively wealthy is boring?
Don’t care for her but she has an insane body.
Heres a bit about Adam:

He is a real actual publishing poet. We still exist. And yes we date actors, have lives. and sometimes read crap like Celebitchy when we are bored.
WHO?!
…im sorry Im pretty sure this is the third time or second? That i hear this chicks name here and Im not sure why are we supposed to be making her happen still… I couldnt place her in a line up of basic blonde chicks (which Im sure someone with put Blake Lively in just to stack her deck)
I hear you, QQ. But she does have Charlize/Kri Level Resting Bitch Face, and some seriously confined DD’s. she was in Star Trek as the charcater “Loooka Mee In Ma Bra”. So she’s marrying some rich dude she has known forever. All the mazels and tovs. Next, please.
