However, it turns out the couple is not married and are in a committed relationship. Not only that, but the lovebirds are also esteemed Shakespearean actors.

Linklater and Rabe were first cast alongside each other in 2010, portraying the roles of Portia and Bassanio in the Public Theater's Shakespeare in the Park production of "The Merchant of Venice."

But in real life, they prefer keeping most relationship details private. Despite that, their chemistry has been evident on stage. The Public's artistic director Oskar Eustis spoke highly of the two's stellar work in a June 2015 telephonic interview:

"Hamish is essentially a comedic actor who has great tragic depth. Just as Lily is essentially a tragedian who has great comic chops. There's a charge that goes between the two poles of their acting, which is thrilling to watch."
