Actor Alex Hassell, known for his role in the Disney+ series 'Rivals', made a rare public appearance with his wife, Emma King, at the show's second season premiere in New York on Monday night. The couple, who have been married for 15 years, attended the screening for the popular series, which returned for its second run on May 15. Hassell plays the character Rupert Campbell-Black in the show.
King, an accomplished Shakespearean actress with roles including Lady Macduff and Titania, has largely maintained a lower profile than her husband amidst his rising fame. Hassell himself has spoken in interviews about navigating their relationship and his growing celebrity status.
The New York event offered a glimpse into the couple's personal life, a departure from their usual public appearances. Earlier this month, Hassell and King also attended Apple TV's BAFTA Brunch in London, preceding the 'Rivals' second season debut. Hassell had previously commented humorously about his on-screen nudity in the series, with King playfully teasing him about his growing reputation.

Hassell, 45, originally from Southend, England, met King at drama school. Their careers have both seen growth since their time studying. 'Rivals' has been instrumental in propelling Hassell to heartthrob status.
