So, Christina Hendricks husband is a camera operator called George Bianchini. Not an actor. Not a musician. Just a regular bloke who happens to work behind the scenes in telly. And honestly? That’s probably the best thing that could’ve happened to her.
Look, I’ve watched Christina since Mad Men started. Joan Holloway was brilliant. That scene where she tells off the partners for being sexist prats? Chef’s kiss. But her actual love life’s been a proper journey. First marriage didn’t work out. Then she met George Bianchini on a film set and everything changed.
Geoffrey Arend Came First
Christina Hendricks’ ex-husband, Geoffrey Arend, was around for ten years. They met through Vincent Kartheiser (Pete from Mad Men) in 2007. Got married two years later at this Italian restaurant in New York called Il Buco.
For ages they seemed solid. Then October 2019 rolls round and they announce they’re splitting. It was a bit awkward because Christina had posted a throwback Halloween photo of the two of them dressed as monsters just before the announcement. Filed for divorce in December, done and dusted by the end of that month. There were no children involved, just two dogs they decided to co-parent.

Meeting George Bianchini On Good Girls
Christina Hendricks’ husband, George Bianchini, was the steadicam operator on the show Good Girls. That’s where they met, somewhere in 2018 when the show began. But they didn’t start seeing each other until 2020.
George Bianchini is 57 years old now, born in 1968. Earned his master’s degree in photography at Temple University in the 90s. Been working in film since 1999, so let’s say he’s got about 25 years or so of experience. He worked on films like Sinister and The Switch, plus loads of music videos for people like Justin Timberlake.
The mad bit is how they got engaged. March 2023, Christina posts on Instagram saying they both proposed to each other. Not one person doing the big romantic gesture whilst the other pretends to be surprised. They both decided at the same time they wanted to get married and just asked each other. “We proposed to each other and we said yes!!!” she wrote.
That’s proper modern, that. No waiting around for the bloke to get his act together. Just two adults going, “Right, shall we do this then?”
That New Orleans Wedding
April 20th, 2024. They got married at Napoleon House in New Orleans. Three days of celebrations with 76 guests. Christina wore this custom lace gown by Katya Katya, proper elegant with long sleeves and a high neck. George Bianchini wore a brown plaid suit with no tie.
But here’s the best bit. Shirley Manson from Garbage officiated. Yeah, the “I’m Only Happy When It Rains” singer. She got licensed as an officiant in Louisiana just so she could marry them. Afterwards she posted on Instagram calling herself “Minister Manson” and saying she’s “grotesquely expensive” to hire.
New Orleans was special to both of them. Christina told People magazine it was the place they’d both loved separately before they met, then when they started dating and lived on opposite coasts, it became their meeting spot in the middle. “It just feels like our city together,” she said.
The Second Wedding For Her Mum
This is the bit that got me. A month after the New Orleans wedding, Christina and George Bianchini did the whole thing again in their LA garden. Why? Because Christina’s mum Jackie Sue has Alzheimer’s and couldn’t travel to New Orleans.
They redid the entire wedding so her mum wouldn’t miss it. “My mother is my best friend and there was no way we weren’t going to show off love and celebrate with the biggest supporter and cheerleader of my life,” Christina wrote on Instagram.
This statement sums up their character perfectly. They’d already had their fancy wedding with 76 guests. But they did it all over again for one person who couldn’t make it. The money, the effort, the emotion of doing it twice. That’s love.
What’s Christina Hendricks Up To Now?
Christina Hendricks’ age is 50. Born May 3rd, 1975. Still looks stunning, still consistently employed. Christina Hendricks’ height is 5’7” (170 cm). It’s interesting that when you see her on screen, she seems so much taller than this. That red hair, those curves, that whole Joan Holloway thing.
How much is Christina Hendricks worth? Christina Hendricks net worth sits somewhere around £8 to £10 million. Most of that’s from Mad Men where she was pulling in about £80,000 per episode by the end. Good Girls added to that, plus various Christina Hendricks movies like Drive with Ryan Gosling, and she voiced Gabby Gabby in Toy Story 4.
George Bianchini net worth is estimated around £800,000 to maybe £2 million, which makes sense for a camera operator with 25 years’ experience. Not mega-rich but comfortable.
The Honest 2025 Post
Just a few days ago, on December 30th, Christina posted something quite raw on Instagram. Used a Mad Men clip of Joan saying, “1960, I’m so over you!” but changed the subtitle to 2025.
She wrote about how 2025 felt like a test. “I don’t know that I passed with flying colours. There was fear, anxiety, certainty, disappointments, and outright bizarre incidents that chipped away at my heart and confidence.”
But then she called George, her family, and her mates “the shining stars of this year’s production.”
She also said she’s been spinning records with the harpist Mary Lattimore and working on a fashion collection with Joanie Clothing. Although she referred to herself as an “artist at heart,” she said she doesn’t know what’s next with all the changes in the industry, but she knows she’ll keep creating.
Life Between Two Cities
They split time between New York and LA now. No kids and that seems deliberate. Christina’s been honest in past interviews about not being particularly interested in having children.
George Bianchini isn’t famous. Most people had never heard of him before they got together. He’s got Instagram (@steadig) but he’s not constantly posting.
Christina Hendricks Instagram (@actuallychristinahendricks) has over a million followers. She posts about work, George, her mum, her mates.
Why This Marriage Feels Different
I reckon the reason this one’s working is because George Bianchini isn’t trying to compete with her fame. He’s got his own career, his own identity.
She’s 50, he’s 57. They’re both at that age where you know what you want. No messing about. Just two people who love each other.
The fact they both proposed to each other says loads about how equal the relationship is.
December 2025 Spotted Out
Just this past week Christina posted photos from December on Instagram. One showed her and George at a festive event, standing in front of a red phone box looking happy.
Another photo showed her in a gold metallic gown at Christmas drinks with mates.
What I Reckon
Christina has been in the spotlight since 2007. That’s 18 years of people discussing her body rather than her acting, which she’s said she finds obnoxious.
But with George Bianchini, she actually seems really happy. He’s not after her fame. He’s a skilled camera operator who happened to fall in love with an actress he worked with.
They took their time. Got engaged in 2023. Married in 2024. Did it twice so her mum could be there.
Christina Hendricks’ husband, George Bianchini, is not going to be a cover model. But from what she has said, he’s exactly what she needed. Someone who loves her for who she is.
