While not officially married, Hunnam views his relationship with Morgana as emotionally equivalent to marriage. He emphasizes that the essence of their romance and partnership holds more meaning for him than the formal, legal concept of marriage. Hunnam has expressed that he would marry McNelis if it mattered to her, but personally, he does not feel a strong urge for the traditional concept of marriage.

This perspective reflects his broader belief in prioritizing connection over convention. When it comes to family, Hunnam feels a lifelong sense of responsibility, even though he currently does not have children, and he values the equilibrium between his career and personal life.
