Russell Brand was accompanied into court today by his publicity-shy wife Laura Gallacher, who has stood by him throughout his rape trial.
The 'mummy blogger', 39, sat crying in the public gallery as the disgraced comedian was found guilty of raping one woman and sexually assaulting three others.
Before the jury delivered its verdicts, Brand, 51, looked at his wife and said: 'Laura, I love you.'
Laura is the daughter of Ryder Cup-winning golfer Bernard Gallacher and sister of TV presenter Kirsty Gallacher. She married Brand in 2017 and they have three children.
Earlier this week, Bernard Gallacher joined his daughter and son-in-law at court.
Laura has quietly supported her husband since their marriage but has set aside her naturally reclusive nature as the couple launched their Christian YouTube show five months ago.
Before the trial, she told viewers that Sunday Service would continue throughout the proceedings.
'Pray for us if you feel so inclined,' added her husband, who has 6.61 million YouTube subscribers.
Reflecting on the impending trial, he said: 'Being back here [in the UK], obviously there are great challenges.
'We will do our best to respect the important restrictions that exist around court cases to ensure truth and justice can be done.'

Brand closed his eyes as he was convicted of raping a 21-year-old fan he met after one of his Hammersmith Apollo gigs in 2009.
After deliberating for eight and a half hours, jurors convicted Brand of groping an MTV worker during a party at a Soho bar in 2004, but not guilty of going on to orally rape her in a toilet.
They also found the born-again Christian guilty of sexually assaulting a Capital Radio worker after encountering her in a corridor in 2005.
At Southwark Crown Court today, he was further convicted of sexually assaulting a Channel 4 employee during a forced massage in 2009.
He was cleared by the jury of two counts of rape and one charge of attempted indecent assault.
Speaking on their podcast before the trial, Brand and Laura joked that they were in the UK for a 'vacation' before saying that 'the Lord has brought us here'.
Brand introduced her as his 'beloved wife' before she admitted she had been nervous about accompanying him to court.
Laughing, he said: 'We're in the UK. Why is that? Just fancied a trip,' before adding more seriously: 'The Lord has brought us here.'
Laura replied: 'I think it's a vacation, but yes, the Lord has brought us here.'
Brand went on: 'I'm happy to be in the place where Jesus found me,' referring to the UK, where he embraced Christianity and was baptised in the River Thames.
His wife, who has stood by him, said they would continue making their podcast.
'Our aim is to carry on doing Sunday Service. More than ever, when you're faced with times of challenge, you have to find your connection with God. Perhaps Sunday Service will be a journey in anchoring ourselves in faith and trust during difficult times,' Laura said.
Describing their appearances at court ahead of the trial, she added: 'I got nervous before going to court. I'm not used to getting out of the car and seeing lots of photographers.'
Brand then said: 'Pray for us if you feel so inclined, and let us know in the chat if there is something we can pray for you about.'
The pair closed their eyes as Brand said: 'I thank you for my beautiful wife, this mystery woman in yellow, our glorious children and your son, Jesus Christ.'
The Brands returned to Britain after moving to the US with their three children around three years ago.
In 2015, a chance meeting on the towpath of a canal in east London changed Laura Gallacher's life.
The pair married two years later near Henley-on-Thames, with guests including Noel Gallagher and Jonathan Ross.
Brand has repeatedly spoken of how lucky he is to have Laura in his life and credited her with supporting him through difficult periods.
She is the youngest child of golfing legend Bernard Gallacher, while her older sister is sports broadcaster Kirsty Gallacher.
The sisters grew up in Wentworth, Surrey, on what is widely regarded as one of Britain's most exclusive private estates.

Laura, a 'mummy blogger' and author of the parenting book The Joy Journal For Magical Everyday Play, has been described by friends as 'kind-natured' and, despite coming from a high-profile family, happy to stay out of the limelight.
Aside from occasional appearances on Brand's YouTube channel, she has largely maintained a low profile and rarely attends red-carpet events.
She was 18 and studying art when she first met Brand, who shared an agent with her sister.
The pair had a brief relationship before going their separate ways.
When they met again 11 years ago, Gallacher was recovering from the breakdown of a long-term relationship.
She later recalled how a friend persuaded her to leave her flat for a walk along a canal in east London, where she unexpectedly bumped into Brand.
'I hadn't seen Russell for years,' she said. 'He was so different. We both immediately knew it was going to be serious.
'My ex had literally moved out of our flat that day, and I was heartbroken, with mascara running down my face.
'A friend dragged me out on a walk to the canal in east London, where I'd never been in my life, and as we came on to the footpath, Russell was standing there, like he'd organised it.'
Gallacher later said they both agreed they wanted a quiet family life together.
Before moving to the US, the family lived in Oxfordshire.
Speaking about their relationship, she has said: 'We really do have fun together.
'Sometimes, it can look like I'm dealing with an adult toddler, but Russell's really into doing the stuff I'm into.'
Friends have described her as 'very warm' but also fiercely protective of her family's privacy.
Laura has also become a devout Christian but, until this year, largely stayed away from her husband's online broadcasts.
She previously said of his content: 'I don't find it easy, and that's why I don't ever really want to be doing any of it.
'I have so many questions about it, and the exposure it inevitably leads to does expose you to a sort of dark energy.'
They launched their Sunday Service show five months ago, with Brand thanking his wife for standing by him.
Smiling, she replied: 'I must be crazy.'
In 2010, he married pop star Katy Perry, but the couple divorced two years later.
Brand also enjoyed a successful Hollywood career, appearing in films including Forgetting Sarah Marshall and the Despicable Me franchise.
In recent years, however, allegations about his treatment of women came under scrutiny following television and newspaper investigations. Police arrested him in 2023, by which time he had largely turned his attention to podcasting and spirituality.
Brand embraced Christianity in 2024 and was baptised in the Thames alongside his friend Bear Grylls.
