Keri Russell’s relationship status: Who is The Diplomat star’s husband?

Everyone’s excited to see Felicity actress Keri Russell take on the role of a career diplomat in Netflix’s The Diplomat. Russell plays Kate Wyler, the new US Ambassador to the United Kingdom, a position she feels unsuited for. Now, with her new position, Kate must work to diffuse multiple international crises while also juggling her turbulent marriage to a manipulative political star.

Any project Russell has been a part of ends up being pretty much a success, so we’re expecting the same for The Diplomat. But while waiting for the political drama to be released, we’ve been keeping ourselves busy by searching for everything there is to know about the Golden Globe Award-winning actress. A topic we keep seeing circulating on the internet involves her relationship status. People want to know who she’s married to.

Well, we’ve done the research and know just who Russell is hitched to. So if you’re curious to know who the mystery person is, all you have to do is continue reading.

Keri Russell husband 2023

Keri Russell is believed to be married to Welsh actor and Emmy winner Matthew Rhys. The reason why we say “believed to be” is because their wedding was never made public. But both have called each other husband and wife in separate interviews from 2021.

Keri Russell was previously married to a contractor named Shane Deary. She met Deary through mutual friends and got engaged in 2006. They were wed in February 2007 but separated in early 2013 before divorcing in 2014.

A month after Russell and Deary’s separation was announced, rumors began to swirl about Russell dating her The Americans co-star Matthew Rhys. They were even spotted out together walking around Russell’s neighborhood in late 2013. It was reported that they walked closely together while shopping for furniture. However, both actors continually shut down the dating rumors.

They weren’t confirmed to be a couple until March 2014. They were spotted at New York’s The Public Theater to watch the play The Library. Other people attending the play noticed Russell stroking Rhy’s hair and whispering to each other before leaving the show. Then, in 2016, they had their first child together: a son.

Keri Russell has a total of three kids. She has two kids from her previous marriage to Shane Deary. They have a son named River Russell Deary, born in 2007, and a daughter named Willa Lou Deary, born in 2011. Russell’s son with Rhys is named Sam, and he’s 6 years old as of April 2023.
