On this night she wore her dark brown tresses long, wavy and flowing to about the middle of her back with a part in the middle.

While Bale has made headlines during his storied career with such riveting and transformative performances in American Psycho, The Machinist, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and The Fighter, among many others, he has also worked alongside his wife.
Blazic has worked in Hollywood as a stunt driver, with The Dark Knight Rises (2012) listed as one of her film credits.
‘My wife was a stunt driver, she was chasing me through the city in Batman. She was driving one of the cop cars. She can do 180s and stunts and all that,’ the British actor told the Wall Street Journal. ‘She terrifies me. My wife terrifies me.’
The Chicago native is also credited with performances in Ford v Ferrari (2019) and George of the Jungle (1997).
The couple, who celebrated their 22nd wedding anniversary in January, are the proud parents of two children: daughter Emmeline, 17 and son Joesph, seven.
