Succession star Sarah Snook has revealed that she married her friend and fellow Australian Dave Lawson earlier this year. Snook and Lawson fell in love during the pandemic - and she proposed last October.

In a new interview with Vogue Australia, Snook, who plays Siobhan 'Shiv' Roy in Succession, shared the story of how romance blossomed for the couple.

"At the beginning of the pandemic last year, I got locked down in Melbourne with one of my best mates and we fell in love," she recounted.

"We've been friends since 2014, lived together, travelled together, always excited to see each other, but totally platonic. We've just never been single at the same time."

Snook said she proposed on 31 October last year and the couple "got married in February in my backyard" in Brooklyn, New York.

The ceremony was attended by Snook's housemates and her compatriot and Succession co-star Ashley Zukerman, who plays Nate Sofrelli.

"There's so much heartache and sadness in the world, but on a micro personal level, I've been very fortunate," she said. "There's a really lovely grace in that without the pandemic, we might not have ended up together so quickly."

Season three of Succession premieres on Sky Atlantic and NOW on Monday, 18 October.
