Love him, he just seems like a normal guy. I wish them every happiness.
I don't keep up with the fangirls but come on, a guy you will never ever ever ever know, much less date, is settling down with someone who makes him happy and you're having a meltdown? Time for a hobby. Learn to knit.

Good luck to them! He's always been quite adamant and vocal about wanting to settle down and having a family. I think there was even a quote where he stated he was disappointed he wasn't yet a dad by his 30s.
I will admit I was completely taken by surprise, especially as even the bloody BBC news mentioned it! I just went "Buh? Uhm, OK." And then quickly went online to see the reactions and drama unfold. Whoa! The conspiracies are rife.

Can anyone link to some of the crazy? I want to laugh and be horrified at the same time.

I checked out the controversies for shits and giggles;
-She got knocked up to trap him. -He's gay and she's his beard. -He's secretly seeing someone (female) else. -She's just a girlfriend, but they claim to be engaged so the fans will respect her. -He's trying to figure who the fans will accept by flying up the Sophie flag before he springs the real GF on us. and finally (drum roll) -It's all a play for PR so he'll have a better chance at an Oscar.
And while tossing around these theories, absolutely no one is actually following the Cumberbatch, no, they have been tootling around in RL and much to busy to care about any of this (but seem to know every woman he had been standing next to for the past five years)

Celebitchy has quite a few... Some are just pissed with the cloak & dagger involved. Others seem to be more sceptic as apparently they've only been dating since the beginning of this year. And then of course, you have the truly WTF? ones saying it's all for an Oscar and PR gain.

I'm late ticket to the Benedict love train but just started watching "Sherlock" and love him on it so, so much. Benedict is an acquired taste. Once you acquire it you don't know how you went so long without it! Complete agreement here, InnocentOne. I've watched Sherlock from the beginning (the US beginning, anyway) and have always adored his acting skills, but I didn't really get the SQUEE until Spoiler Sherlock came crashing through the window, ruffled his hair, and planted one on lucky, lucky Molly Hooper. At that point, I nearly melted into my couch. squeeee..... Glad to hear the nice news about them!

I don't care if he's getting married or not, I just want to know when we're getting more Sherlock episodes. This is what affects ME damn't!

Is it weird I want to give him props for picking a woman who's his age?

Though, obviously, the 'secretly seeing someone else' accusation involved Jensen and Jarod secretly seeing each other. As for the 'just a girlfriend, claiming to be engaged so the fans will respect her', I should think it's more likely that Sophie hired a good bodyguard before the announcement...so the fans won't lynch her.

So nice that it is someone his a own age who has her own career. The conspiracy theories are too much. They don't even make sense. It's well within the realm of possibility that they've known each other for a while, maybe the attraction has been there for a while but the timing was bad, and once then timing was good they didn't have to spend too much time figuring out that they wanted to get married.
