Keri Russell Explains Why She Told Matthew Rhys to Skip Her in His Historic Emmy Speeches
Keri Russell revealed on the 'Dear Chelsea' podcast that she explicitly told Matthew Rhys not to thank her during his 2026 Emmy acceptance speeches to reduce his anxiety. Rhys, who made history by winning lead acting awards in both comedy and limited series categories, focused his remarks on collaborators and family instead. Russell defended the decision, noting that public scrutiny of such omissions is 'lame' and that the couple prefers to keep their relationship private.
