Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys had their own fun while filming The Americans.

On a recent episode of the Dear Chelsea podcast, Russell told host Chelsea Handler that she and Reese "were always having sex," even when the characters were in disguise on set. The couple met while filming the FX period spy drama, which ran for six seasons from 2013 to 2018.

The Diplomat star admitted: "We would make love and stay up all night and have sex all the time and just wear disguises, like I'd do crazy wigs and wear pearls." "When you're wearing pearls and fucking in trailers and fucking everywhere. I mean, it was crazy. It was so fun and sneaky and sexy and so good."

Keri Russell told Matthew Rhys that if she won the Emmys, she wouldn't have to thank him.

Keri Russell confronts the "persistent culture of lawlessness" in the fourth season trailer of The Diplomat.

Created by Joseph Weisberg, The Americans follows Philip Jennings (Reese) and Elizabeth Jennings (Russell), two KGB spies, who run a travel agency in Washington, D.C., as a married American couple during the Cold War of the 1980s.

After several years of dating, Russell and Reese welcomed their son, Sam, in 2016. Russell also has two children, son River and daughter Willa Lowe, with ex-husband Shane Deary.

Elsewhere on the podcast, actress Felicity addressed Reese and did not thank him during her acceptance speech at the 2026 Emmys for Best Actor in a Comedy Series and Limited Series for her roles in Widow's Bay and The Monster in Me. Before the ceremony, she recalls telling him, "Take me off your plate. You don't have to thank me, I know you love me, take me off your plate."
