Although she obviously keeps her private life to herself, the actress has been linked to bigger names in the past.
Who has Ruth Wilson been linked to in the past?
Jude Law
In 2011, then 29-year-old Ruth became romantically involved with actor Jude Law after the pair appeared in the same stage adaptation of Anna Christie.
While the co-stars were rumored to have kissed during a night out at London’s Groucho Club, neither has confirmed the relationship.
In early 2012, the two were spotted together in the United States while walking in Venice Beach, Los Angeles.
Over a decade later, they still seem to get along, appearing together at the 2021 BFI London Film Festival after collaborating on the film True Things.

Jake Gyllenhaal
A few years later, in 2015, rumors circulated that Ruth was dating Jake Gyllenhaal when they were starring in the Broadway play Constellations.
Rumors of their romance began after they were reportedly spotted kissing and holding hands at a Golden Globes afterparty, as well as at an E! News reports that they were spotted kissing after the workout.
However, Ruth all but denied the rumors in an interview with ABC News at the time, saying, “He’s adorable, a really good guy.” “We’ve become a little bit like brother and sister.”
In 2016, she revealed how upset it was to be associated with her peers like Jude and Jake.
She told the Evening Standard: ‘I doubt any of the actors I’ve been associated with have been asked to work with me.’ I find it a little insulting.’

Is Ruth Wilson Married?
Although she and her partner have been together for a long time, Ruth has no plans to walk down the aisle any time soon, telling Marie Claire magazine: “I hate the thought of walking down the aisle in a white dress — I think that is fair.” A terrible idea.
“And I’m just not that keen on the idea of an anniversary or a ring on my finger. I’m not even interested in jewelry.’
She also told G2, “I don’t believe in institutions.” I believe in connections, I have a very strong relationship and have been for a number of years.
“I think there’s tremendous value in having someone in your life who understands you and sees you.” And I’m so glad I have it.’
She also laughed at the idea that her dislike of marriage was a result of her grandfather’s polygamy.
Ruth joked, “Yeah, it’s genetics.” You know, my grandfather died before I was even born and my parents have a great marriage. It must have skipped a generation.’
Alexander Wilson’s other lives were only discovered after his death by Ruth’s grandmother, as the actress portrayed in 2018’s Mrs Wilson.
Does Ruth Wilson have children?
Ruth gushes about her family life as the youngest of four children and three brothers.
Though she has no children of her own yet, she told Radio Times that in 2022 she “thinks about having a baby every day.”
But that came with the caveat that “I can see the pros and cons.”
“I have a lot of nieces and nephews, so I have a lot of kids in my life and I love kids.” It’s just that… it’s life changing. So yeah, I think about it a lot.’
