Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys have successfully managed to keep their personal life out of the spotlight for years.
So, when the Welsh actor makes rare comments about his relationship with The Diplomat actress, 47, and the three children they're raising, fans are all ears.
While the couple have one child together, Sam Evans, seven, Keri is also a mom to Willa, 11, and River, 15, who she shares with her ex-husband, Shane Deary.
After they met on the set of their acclaimed show The Americans, the co-stars commenced their real-life relationship in 2014.
Matthew, 48, has also helped to raise the trio and their life in Brooklyn, New York, sounds relatable to many parents.

When the kids were younger, the Perry Mason star described their evening routine and confessed that he and Keri spent much of their time focused on the hours between 4:30 p.m. and bedtime.

"He's also discussed he and Keri's parenting styles, admitting they're very different. "She's been a reassuring hand," he told ETonline. "I'm the one going, 'What about...' and she goes, 'Shut up it's fine.'"

"There was a moment recently when – I said, 'He has a very heavy cold and we’ve got to take him to the doctor,'" Matthew added. "She’s like, 'He has a cold, I’m gonna get my hair blown out.’ I go, 'I’m gonna take him to the doctor.' She went, 'You take him to the doctor and when the doctor tells you he has a light cold, text me.'"
The couple - who played married KGB spies on The Americans - are also aware that raising children has its ups and downs. "You do the best you can every single day," Keri told People. "And some days are bad days. I feel like people need to remember that more."
How refreshing!
