Their young love experienced its ups and downs. The couple was in an on-and-off relationship after going through breakups while they were still teenagers and later in their 20s. Despite that, they have continued their love story, which Johnny feels was destined to happen.

At one time, he even followed Minns, interested in theater productions, out to New York City. Currently, the couple and their family reside in East London, where Minns has a garden studio in which she works with clay. She previously worked as a set designer for more than ten years.

Johnny Flynn's Half-Brother Is "Game of Thrones" Star Jerome Flynn

Johnny comes from a talented family that has several actors, starting with his father, Eric, who was an actor in musical theater. His siblings are also actors. Although they followed in their father's footsteps, Eric was not keen on seeing his children follow that path.

Still, as evidenced by Johnny, they have become successful in that career. The other siblings have also had success in the industry to varying degrees.

Sister Lillie Flynn has been involved in various productions, including as an actress in "The Score" and as part of the ADR group in "The Sea Beast," starring Karl Urban and Jared Harris.

Half-brother Daniel has been in the television industry for about forty years since making four appearances as Billy in "No Excuses" in 1983. Since then, the Worcestershire-born actor has appeared in over fifty productions ranging from short movies and feature films to television series and voicing video games.

Perhaps the most popular of Johnny's siblings is BAFTA-nominated Jerome, whose role as Bronn in the hit television series "Game Of Thrones" garnered him notoriety among the show's fans worldwide. His controversial character and gradual increase in fortune made him a divisive figure in the series in which he appeared in many seasons.
