Carey Mulligan has an unexpected rule that keeps music out of her home with Marcus Mumford. The singer recently revealed that his wife prefers not to play music because he stops talking whenever it starts playing.
Marcus Mumford says he stops talking whenever music starts playing
Marcus Mumford, 39, appeared on the SmartLess podcast on July 27. The Mumford & Sons frontman said he can’t play music in his home because of a rule set by his wife Carey Mulligan.
He said, “We had this conversation the other day. We had a party at home. It was Carey’s birthday, and someone came, and they were like, ‘There’s no music.’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, we don’t really play music.”
Mumford shared that he can’t let music play in the background; he ends up stopping everything to listen to the music. He said, “I can’t do background music because if music’s on, I want to lean in and listen to it. And I can’t switch that part of my brain off. So then Carey doesn’t like having music in the house because I just stop having a conversation.”
He also shared the type of music he prefers, saying, “I listen to probably mostly new music. And if I’m on my own, that’s when I listen to music.”
Earlier, in a conversation with The Guardian, the singer also shared, “We have a rule in our house where we don’t say hate,” and he wants to leave his children with “a spirit of generosity.”
According to People, the couple first met at a children’s camp when they were young. They got married in 2012 and have three kids: Evelyn Grace, Wilfred, and a younger daughter, whose name has not been disclosed publicly.
