On 23 May 2012, in Cannes, France, Hampshire and fellow actress Sarah Gadon were presented with the first Birks Canadian Diamond award during Telefilm Canada's inaugural Tribute To Canadian Talent press event and reception.[7] Also in 2012, Hampshire starred in David Cronenberg's Cosmopolis as Jane Melman,[2][8] and co-starred in Sean Garrity's comedy film My Awkward Sexual Adventure, for which she received positive critical notice.[9] The same year she was cast in the futuristic-zombie film The Returned.[10]
In 2014, Hampshire was cast in the Syfy series 12 Monkeys in the recurring role of Jennifer Goines, a reimagined version of Brad Pitt's character from the film on which the series is based;[11] in 2015, she was upped to a series regular for the show's second season.[12] From 2015 to 2020, she played Stevie Budd in the CBC television series Schitt's Creek.[13]
In late 2015, Hampshire was cast in Xavier Dolan's independent film The Death and Life of John F. Donovan, which also stars Jessica Chastain, Kathy Bates, and Susan Sarandon.[14]
Personal life
In 2006, Hampshire married Matthew Smith, a former soccer player turned agent-in-training at the William Morris talent agency.[1] Hampshire and Smith divorced shortly before she was cast in Schitt's Creek in 2014.[15][3] In September 2018, it was confirmed that Hampshire was in a relationship with singer-songwriter Teddy Geiger; they became engaged in November 2018.[16][17] The couple ended their engagement on June 10, 2019.[18]
Hampshire identifies as pansexual.[19]
In 2007, Hampshire moved to Los Angeles.[4] She became a naturalized U.S. citizen in September 2014 and currently divides her time between Los Angeles and Toronto.[20][21]
