Ruth Gemmell, also known as Lady Violet Bridgerton, is someone you may recognize if you’ve seen The Ton on Netflix. Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, a highly praised spin-off, with the actress reprising her role from the original historical drama.
With a stellar resume that includes appearances in EastEnders, Casualty, Penny Dreadful, and Band of Gold, Ruth met her future husband, Ray Stevenson, and began their acting career together. To find out everything, keep reading…
The Northern Irish actor Ray Stevenson stands tall. Among his many notable roles, he played Dagonet in King Arthur (2004) and Titus Pullo in the BBC/HBO series Rome. He is also an MCU member.
Ray has played Volstagg in Thor, Thor: The Dark World, and Thor: Ragnarok, and he has also portrayed Frank Castle/The Punisher in Punisher: War Zone (2008). Ray is known for his work with Marvel comic characters.
Ray will take the stage in the August 2023 premiere of the new Disney+ series Ahsoka. Baylon, played by Ray, is a former Jedi who escaped Order 66 by hiding in the Unknown Regions. Other than that, not much is known about the program.
In 1995, while filming Band of Gold, Ruth Gemmell and Ray Stevenson crossed paths. After waiting two years, they tied the knot in Westminster, London. The exes were notoriously quiet about their personal lives, although they did appear together on screen once, playing a married couple in the 1997 film Peak Practice.
Ruth and Ray’s 2005 divorce was the result of their eight-year marriage. The Marvel actor announced his new romantic relationship with longtime girlfriend Elisabetta in an interview he gave to Fame Magazine in 2014. I am now seeing someone. “Life has been so generous to me,” he said. Elisabetta, my partner, is Italian. Sebastiano and Leonardo, our two beautiful sons, and our third son, who is expected soon, are our family jewels. We have a rescue dog, three feline friends, and a beautiful island home. My life becomes all about my family after I finish a task, and it’s completely different from my career.
Since her divorce, Ruth has been mum about her romantic history. She has been very busy ever since she joined the cast of Queen Charlotte, a spin-off of Bridgerton, in 2020.
Ruth discussed the phenomenal success of the program. A large number of people read Julia Quinn’s novels, which are the basis for the TV show. Therefore, we were aware from the start that it would have a certain target audience,” she said.
Then there’s the obvious: love and romance tales will never go out of style. I don’t believe anybody had anticipated it being as popular as it did.
