﻿In her marvelous world, Mrs. Maisel’s love life is quite eventful! However, actress Rachel
Brosnahan’s real love story is a lot calmer. Another key difference is that while we watch
Midge’s experience with love first-hand, Rachel’s romance is quite quiet and kept away from the
public eye. The actress keeps her private life so hushed that fans had no idea she’s been married to
fellow actor Jason Ralph for years! Why did they keep their relationship a secret for so long?
Some of our favorite celebrity romances are the ones that started on set: like Rachel Brosnahan
and Jason Ralph’s! It’s been reported that the couple met in 2015 while filming the TV series,
‘Manhattan.’ However, Rachel revealed that she met the love of her life two years before that — on
the set of an indie movie titled ‘I’m Obsessed with You: But You’ve Got To Leave Me Alone.’
Their film's title foreshadowed the beginning of this couple’s relationship.
Brosnahan explained that she and Ralph didn’t date until the crew finished filming. "It was a hard
no for me," she recalled, adding theatrically, "Stay away, stay away. Okay, fine." According to
the actress, they’ve been together since 2013 — meaning their love has survived a decade!
The lovebirds kept their relationship undercover for their first two years,
only making their first public appearance in 2015. Maybe that’s why people assumed
they only started dating around that time. One of the pair’s first public events was in
February at the opening night of ‘The Lion’ at the Lynn Redgrave Theatre in
New York City. Their attendance marked the first of many theater productions that the
couple would attend over the years. As much as they've been out and about
in the public eye for years, neither of them spoke much about their relationship. The lack
of attention to their romance often made us forget that these two are even together!
Then, in 2018, the lovebirds caused a stir when they showed up to the
Emmy Awards wearing matching wedding bands, which, of course, sparked marriage rumors.
A source later told People Magazine that Rachel and Jason tied the knot earlier
that year in a quiet ceremony. They also mentioned that the actress would
refer to Jason as her ‘husband’ at work. However, that information was false and was
quite humorous for the couple. In 2019, Brosnahan clarified that she and her lover got hitched a
long time ago! “We’ve been married for years and been together for even longer,” she explained.
The actress then joked that she and Ralph laughed when they saw
the headlines stating they were newlyweds. Like Midge Maisel, Rachel has taken a modern
approach to her relationship. This is to say that she’s sort of secretly been married this
entire time while everyone else thought she and Jason were just dating. The couple never
made a big deal about their nuptials because they never felt the need to expose it to the public.
The actress’s reasoning extends beyond just wanting to maintain privacy — it
steers into unpacking her gendered experiences on the red carpet.
Brosnahan and her husband noticed these experiences early on when they were both
leads of a successful TV series. "He has almost never been asked about our relationship while I
have been asked on almost every red carpet in the last two years. We both find this double standard
problematic and frustrating and opted to redirect those conversations to our work,” she explained.
We suspect the couple made their marriage public because of dating rumors involving
Rachel since her ‘Mrs.Maisel’ stardom. In 2016 it was reported that the actress
had been dating her co-star Michael Zegen. Many tabloids believed the fling was confirmed when
Michael posted a selfie with his blonde co-star; the caption read “Date Night,” causing a stir!
However, the actress has been with her now-husband since 2013. Brosnahan never confirmed her wedding
date, but in 2019 she confessed to being married “for years,” indicating that by 2016, she and
Ralph could have been preparing to get married — or even Mr. & Mrs. already, for all we know!
Therefore, the rumors about her love life were a reason enough to let her
fans know she’s a happily committed woman. The pair have always supported each other’s
careers in their years together. At the 2019 Golden Globes Awards ceremony, Rachel took home
a best performance award and showed her husband all the love in her acceptance speech! “Jason,
I love you. I wouldn't be here at all without you. Thank you," she said. How sweet!
The following year Ralph made a rare Instagram post about his wife as he supported her new film,
‘I'm Your Woman.’ He shared a photo of them with the text, "You're my woman.”
For Halloween in 2018, Jason even paid tribute to his wife's Golden Globe-winning character by
dressing up as her! Rachel posted a photo of her partner donning Midge's period wardrobe
to Instagram. "'Who wouldn't want to come home to this every night?' - @rasonjalph
winning Halloween," she captioned the photo. These two are just too adorable!
The couple got to work together again when Ralph joined his wife on the cast of ‘Marvelous Mrs.
Maisel.’ Brosnahan shared that working with him after all those years was a roller coaster of
emotions. “I was so intimidated because we haven't worked together since we met,
ten years ago, so I was really nervous for him to actually see me doing this up close, and come into
my world, but it was amazing,” she said. The funny part is that the pair’s on-screen
characters were very bitter toward each other for a while. It must have been an interesting
experience to have that dynamic at work, then come home and be their loving selves again.
"It was therapy,” Rachel joked. "We got to be so mean to each other at work and call
it a job. We had a lot of fun,” she added. We’ve previously mentioned why the two prefer
not to discuss their relationship. However, there is one more reason we believe this couple is so
quiet when it comes to their life together. They may be tight-lipped about their personal
lives, but we know that Ralph and Brosnahan’s marriage is special to them — something worth
protecting. What they don't say, they express in the ways they move. Like a lot of couples, these
two constantly reveal tiny details about what they mean to each other with their body language.
Something to notice is that in all their pictures, the couple always smiles brightly and holds each
other close! Even a decade later, their energy still screams, “WE’RE IN LOVE!!”
It's not just Rumor Juice who thinks so! Women’s Health Magazine recruited Blanca Cobb,
a body language expert, to comment on Rachel and Jason’s dynamic.
According to the expert, Brosnahan can’t get enough of her hubby! In their pictures together,
the actress usually has her body turned toward Ralph and always has a hand near his chest.
According to Cobb, this reveals how close Brosnahan feels to her partner,
how much she trusts him, while her hand on his chest tells onlookers that Ralph
is all hers … and it will stay that way. Another thing Blanca picked up on is that what
makes Rachel happy makes Jason happy, and vice versa. She can tell because of how often the pair
share a laugh. The expert explained that laughing together releases endorphins and feel-good
hormones like oxytocin. These chemicals allow couples to feel less stressed and more bonded.
"Couples who laugh together tend to handle life's challenges a little easier," Blanca said.
Rachel Brosnahan and Jason Ralph are one of those Hollywood couples that we hope grow old together!
Their love story is so tender, adoring, and romantic — plus, we love a woman who takes
charge of her life, even when it means keeping her adorable marriage a secret from her fans!
Rachel and Jason prove that focusing on what's important to us, which might include staying
private, is the key to lasting happiness. Thank you for taking the time to watch our
