Emmy Rossum and Sam Esmail's relationship began professionally when Rossum was cast in Esmail's film "Comet" in 2013. The pair made their public debut as a couple at the film's premiere in June 2014 and got engaged in August 2015. Esmail proposed in a cinematic way by writing a fake "Modern Love" column for The New York Times that told their love story, which Rossum read while in the bathtub. The couple married in May 2017 and have since welcomed two children, a daughter born in May 2021 and a son born in April 2023. They collaborated professionally again on the limited series "Angelyne," which debuted on Peacock in 2022, based on a Hollywood Reporter article about a woman known for appearing on billboards around Los Angeles.
