Evin Ahmad’s Husband: Actress Is Engaged to Ardalan Esmaili
"Who Is Erin Carter?" star Evin Ahmad and her future husband Ardalan Esmaili have kept their relationship low-key in a manner that is rare in the entertainment industry.
Ardalan Esmaili and his fiancée Evin Ahmad are both very busy Sweden-based actors. They are not a celebrity pairing to declare their love on social media, but their feelings do come through when doing press for their mutual projects.
After meeting during a regional theatre production, they have known each other for a dozen years. The couple have recently shared a more comprehensive timeline of their relationship.

Who Is Evin Ahmad's Husband-to-Be?
Born March 22, 1986, in Tehran, Iran, Esmaili won the EFP Shooting Star award at the 2019 Berlin International Film Festival. In his early twenties, he appeared in two short films but only broke out on screen in the comedy-drama "Boys" in 2015.
He has over 20 credits on IMDb, mostly in Swedish productions. Besides joining his fiancée's Netflix show, "Snabba Cash," in its second season, he has been on a few other projects of the international streaming giant.
The actor played Patrick opposite the mononymous singer-actor Christopher in "A Beautiful Life," he was Uncle in two episodes with Ahmad in the award-winning "The Rain" and participated in the post-apocalyptic film "Black Crab."
The One Time Ardalan Esmaili and Evin Ahmad Were Candid About Their Future
In an uncharacteristic moment of candor, the couple, who stepped onto the Swedish Elle Gala red carpet in coordinated monochrome in April 2023, confirmed their engagement that took place in 2020. Ahmad said:
"We have been together for eight years. We have known each other for twelve, thirteen years. "
While the pandemic slowed down their wedding plans, they are still keen to tie the knot, just not about sharing the details of when it will occur.
There is only one post about their relationship from either of them on social media, on Esmaili's Instagram account, which he captioned in English "Unconditional" in October 2017.
She illuminated that what "looks hot and authentic is just choreography."
On how it feels to be in an eight-year relationship, the couple said, "Fantastic," with Esmaili adding, "We know each other so well now, so that's what's cool."
The Couple Respects Each Other Professionally, but There Has Been a Moment of Possessiveness
It is a "great luxury" for Ahmad to work with her paramour, and she thinks he is "a great actor." She considers it "an advantage" that they are in the same profession:
"We see it as a passion rather than a job, and sharing that passion adds a lot to the relationship. The only downside in this case is that it's going well for both of us. We've been apart a lot, but we have to adjust to life afterward."

However, she has admitted in the past to being jealous of his intimate scenes in the 2017 Danish movie "The Charmer." The long-time lovers got to shoot a sex scene for "Snabba Cash," ironically with the help of an intimacy coordinator.
She illuminated that what "looks hot and authentic is just choreography." For Esmaili, it was "really fun" playing alongside Ahmad in the Swedish hit series. "It felt special to be able to join and enter her world as Leya," he said.
