Watch : Keri Russell's Daughter Willa, 13, Makes First Ever Public Appearance at Paris Fashion Week Keri Russell plans to have Matthew Rhys as her forever partner in crime, but calling him husband one day isn't likely. Although the couple has been together for nearly 13 years, the Diplomat actress-who was previously married to Shane Deary from 2007 to 2014-doesn't feel the need to tie the knot with Rhys. I've had a big party, Russell explained on the Oct. 8 episode of Chelsea Handler's Dear Chelsea podcast. I get to dress up all the time. And I know for a lot of people, marriage is something different. People used to have to be married to have a credit card, she continued. We can have credit cards now. I don't need my last name to go away. As she emphasized, I'm cool. If you want to be here, be here. If you don't, that's cool too. But while the 50-year-old and partner aren't married by law, that doesn't mean they don't have a long-term commitment in place. After all, Russell and Rhys share son Sam, 10. #eonline #podcastdailynews
