Michael Sheen is a regular fixture on our screens thanks to his various TV and film roles, including Best Interests, Good Omens, and most recently BBC One's new drama, The Way.

The series marks Michael's directorial debut and tells the story of "an ordinary family caught up in an extraordinary chain of events that ripple out from their hometown" in Wales. 

While Michael is perhaps best known for his more serious roles, he also appears in the BBC's comedy series, Staged, alongside his partner Anna. Find out all you need to know about the actress and their adorable family here…

The actress is perhaps best recognised for starring alongside Michael in Staged, in which the couple play themselves opposite David Tennant and his wife Georgia. 

Anna has also appeared in the 2020 Sky film, Last Train to Christmas, in which Michael starred in, and also voiced the role of Marion in Netflix's The Sandman.

Michael and Anna's relationship timeline

Michael, 55, and Anna have been in a relationship since 2019, with the Hollywood actor making his first appearance on his girlfriend's Instagram page in May 2019, when she posted a selfie of the pair attending the premiere of the fantasy comedy series, Good Omens. 

She wrote in the caption: "At the New York screening for Amazon's new show Good Omens. So, so, so proud of this angelic face. What a fantastic show with brilliant writing and directing. London and World premiere up next!"

Just months after the couple went public with their romance, Michael was forced to deny rumours that he was still in a relationship with comedian Aisling Bea when he first got together with Anna.

Taking to Twitter in August 2019, he wrote: "Wouldn't normally respond to this kind of thing but for the sake of people I love and who have more important things to focus on right now - I was single from the beginning of last summer until I met my partner Anna who is now going to have our baby. Just for the record. Thanks."

The couple, who reside in the Welsh countryside in Baglan, share two daughters together. Their eldest, Lyra, was born in September 2019. Announcing the happy news on Twitter at the time, the Quiz actor wrote: "Happy to say that at 8:41 am on Monday September 23rd our beautiful daughter Lyra was born. Thank you so much to Louise & all the brilliant midwives at both the Singleton and NeathPortTalbot hospitals."

The couple welcomed their second daughter, Mabli, in May 2022. "And just like that….there was another monkey jumping on the bed," Michael wrote on Twitter alongside an adorable snap of his newborn holding tightly onto his pinky finger. 

Michael was filming for the BBC drama Best Interests when Anna was pregnant with Mabli, and in a new interview with The Guardian, revealed that the pregnancy was "not completely straightforward".

"There were some fears about our unborn baby, and if there are any kinds of complications or worries that really weighs on you," he said.
