Rothenberg, 43, is an American actor, best known for his role as Captain Homer Jackson in the BBC One drama Ripper Street, in which McKenna also starred as Rose Erskine.

35-year-old McKenna previously joked that their romance was a "total cliche" as it blossomed on set.

She told The Independent: "We fell in love working together. Adam is just one of the smartest and most talented people I have ever met, and he's an amazing anchor for this acting world we're in.

"He's older than me so that's very grounding because he has no interest in the hype, as he has kind of been there and done that. I often think he would make a wonderful psychologist, as we have really good in-depth chats and he's a very good person."
