In the television series The Americans, they play a happily married couple with a big secret.
And if reports can be believed, life is imitating art for Keri Russell, 37, and her 39-year-old co-star Matthew Rhys.
The stars of the FX channel drama grabbed lunch in the snow on-set of The Americans in New York City on Thursday, amid rumours of romance.
Rumoured romance: The 37-year-old Keri Russell and co-star Matthew Rhys, 39, were spotted separately grabbing a meal on-set of The Americans in New York City on Thursday
The actress announced in early December that she had split from her husband of nearly seven years, then whispers of a relationship between the co-stars began to swirl.
On December 26, People reported that Keri was spotted looking cozy with her Americans partner in New York City.
'They looked very much like a couple,' a source told the weekly. 'They were laughing and walking closely together.'
Reps for the actors have not commented.
Not much could be seen on set either as they each took their turns grabbing catering in the snowy Big Apple weather.
Keri seemed to be in costume for her character Elizabeth Jennings as she donned a brown patterned vest, white long sleeved blouse, black trousers, and leather shoes.
Matthew was draped in a navy blue double-breasted knit sweater over a dark red button-down shirt, brown pants, and shoes for the meal run.
The show is set during the Cold War period of the 1980s and sees the pair play KGB officers posing as a married American couple in the suburbs of Washington D.C.
In an interview with this month's GQ Magazine, Matthew talked about Keri's pump-up habit while filming the show.
'The smack usually comes the second before they say "Action,' Matthew tells the monthly of Keri's pre-take routine. 'Basically, I am starting every scene with a slightly shocked look on my face and a red handprint on my cheek.'
Though the news of Keri's separation from husband Shane Deary has only been public recently, it has actually been going on for a few months.
The star's rep told People: 'They have been separated since early summer. The separation is amicable and their focus is on their children.'
The couple were married on Valentine's Day in 2007, but have not been photographed much together in the past few years.
The Americans returns to FX for a second season on February 26.
