Emmanuelle Chriqui and Sam Trammell are two peas in a pod.

Catch up on what we know about their romance below.
Though it is unclear how they met and started dating, Emmanuelle, 49, and Sam, 56, have been in a relationship since 2020. He was previously in a relationship with fellow actress Missy Yager, who he met in 2003 while working in theater in 2003, and with whom he welcomed twin sons Gus and Winston in 2011. It's unclear when the two went their separate ways.

"We spend a lot of time apart, but the time I spend with my love is just so beautiful," she first wrote; at the time, she had just starred in the sci-fi thriller Cosmic Dawn.
"We're really good at not taking each other for granted, and I feel so lucky that we met each other in this life," she further shared, noting: "It just feels different to me, somehow. When you've met your person, every time you see them — no matter what — you're just lit up. That's what I feel like with my partner."
Emmanuelle then recalled: "Initially, lockdown meant that we were able [to] have a lot more time together, but then it was the reverse, as I was filming Superman & Lois up in Vancouver, with the borders closed, unable to leave," describing the period as "hell."

I'm a restless person by nature, and I have always been that way — there was a feeling of one foot in, one foot out, and I was a little nonchalant about it all," Emmanuelle went on, before maintaining: "But I don't feel that way anymore. There is a feeling of ease, of peace, with my partner. I feel grounded and really relaxed, and it is really quite extraordinary to feel that way with someone else."
