Rosamund Pike stepped into the London spotlight with her 11-year-old son Atom for a courtside mother-son date at the NBA London Game on January 18, 2025. The pair watched the Memphis Grizzlies defeat the Orlando Magic 126-109 inside the O2 Arena, marking one of the actress’s few public outings with her younger child.
At a Glance
- Rosamund Pike, 46, attended the NBA London Game with son Atom, 11
- The Grizzlies beat the Magic 126-109 at the O2 Arena
- Pike shares Atom and 12-year-old Solo with partner Robie Uniacke since 2009
- Why it matters: The outing offers a rare glimpse into the intensely private star’s family life
Courtside Style
Pike kept her look monochrome, pairing an all-black shirt, pants, and shoes with an oversized jacket. Dark sunglasses shielded her from arena lights-and cameras-while Atom contrasted in a blue-and-white bomber jacket, cheering beside his mom.
Family Life Off-Screen
The Oscar-nominated actress has guarded her sons from public view since becoming a mother. She and Uniacke welcomed Solo in 2012 and Atom in 2014. Uniacke, a businessman, also has four children from previous relationships.
In a 2014 interview, Pike credited motherhood with sharpening her craft:
> “You have less time to worry and over-analyze when you’re a parent,” she told Glamour. “With children, you spend so much time re-experiencing the world as a child experiences it, and that has a nourishing effect on your imagination. In my job, imagination is key.”
Brotherhood Bond
On Live with Kelly and Ryan in 2018, Pike joked about her sons’ dynamic:
> “The good news is they are a team. The bad news is they’re quite a naughty team.”
Both boys have followed their parents into Mandarin fluency. Solo, now 12, competed under his Chinese name You Zijun and won the primary-school division of the Chinese Bridge Proficiency Contest in October 2024, earning the title “Future Star of Chinese,” organizers announced on Facebook.
Why the Game Mattered
London’s annual NBA fixture draws A-listers eager for stateside sports in a British setting. Pike’s attendance signals the event’s growing pull beyond basketball diehards and spotlights her continued low-key life in the UK capital.
Key Takeaways
- Rosamund Pike’s courtside cameo with Atom was one of her first public appearances with either son
- The family maintains Mandarin fluency, a skill Solo has already parlayed into competition victories
- Despite global fame, Pike keeps parenting wins-and challenges-close to the vest
