What have I seen Ruth in?

Ruth’s husband Theo James has had major acting roles in Films such as Divergent and HBO’s The White Lotus. But Ruth also shared she prefers to not have her name in flashing lights. Ruth admits that she doesn’t like to take up bigger roles and prefers to see where the smaller ones will take her.

She seems to be more relaxed in her acting career and enjoys having free time to travel and spend time outdoors. While the pair have acted together in the first season of Sanditon, a series inspired by Jane Austen’s final novel.

Do we know much about their private life?

While the couple is both equally private, Theo does not use social media. Ruth shares photos of her travels online. While they are rarely spotted together, the couple does attend premiers. Theo has discussed their relationship and how they balance a healthy relationship and work.

“It’s interesting being together this long because we have navigated through the very beginnings of our careers,” he told the Evening Standard in 2020. “That can be hard at times, but also that [brings] certain strengths [to] a relationship.”

The couple has not taken to the internet to share images of their daughter who they welcomed in 2021. The name is still unknown to the public. The pair spend a lot of their time in New York. They are both involved in the United Nations Refugee Agency. While Theo has been a supporter of the agency since 2016, Ruth joined in 2018.
