Keri Russell, Matthew Rhys Score 5 Emmy Noms

Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys, a couple and former co-stars on 'The Americans', are attending the Emmys together as nominees for different projects. Russell is nominated for her role as an ambassador on 'The Diplomat', while Rhys is nominated for his roles on 'Widow's Bay' and 'The Beast in Me'.

The couple has been together for 13 years and has a son together, Sam, who is 10 years old. Russell also has two children from a previous marriage, River and Willa. The couple met after a kickball-and-beer-fueled party in L.A. more than a decade prior to working together on 'The Americans'.

Matthew Rhys won the Emmy for best actor in a drama in 2018 for his role on 'The Americans'. This year, the pair have racked up five nominations between them, with both also receiving executive producer nominations.

## Why it matters The couple's nomination is not the first time a couple has been nominated for Emmys in the same year. However, fans may feel a special tie to Russell and Rhys because of their previous work together on 'The Americans' and their witty and charming appearances at the Emmys. The couple's relationship was first made public in 2014, after a burglar broke into Russell's Brooklyn home and police returned the couple's personal items, revealing their relationship to the crew of 'The Americans'.

The couple's Emmy nominations come after a successful year in television, with both Russell and Rhys receiving critical acclaim for their performances. Russell's role as an ambassador on 'The Diplomat' and Rhys' roles on 'Widow's Bay' and 'The Beast in Me' have been praised by critics and audiences alike.

## What happens next The Emmys will take place soon, with Russell and Rhys attending together as nominees. The couple's nominations are a testament to their hard work and dedication to their craft, and fans will be eagerly awaiting the results to see if they take home any awards.
