Who is Sandra Oh?
Sandra Oh is a 47-year-old Canadian actress who is best known for her roles in Grey’s Anatomy and Killing Eve.
She is the recipient of a number of accolades including two Golden Globe Awards, four Screen Actor Guild Awards and six Primetime Emmy Award nominations.
She was also included in Time’s 2019 list of 100 most influential people.
Has she ever been married?
Sandra Oh was married to filmmaker Alexander Payne for two years.
She met the filmmaker whilst they both worked on the cult wine country film Sideways.
They were in a relationship for a total of five years, marrying in January 2003, having dated for three years before this.
But the couple separated in early 2005 and their divorce was finalised in 2007.
Neither party have spoken on the record about the reason for their divorce.
Ms Oh told Marie Claire: “I don’t listen to this stuff. I don’t see it.
“I tell my people I don’t want to know about it, because while rationally you might know it’s ridiculous, it can hurt your feelings. It can knock me off from being my authentic self.”
Is she dating anyone now?
Although Ms Oh has not confirmed who she is currently dating, her publicist did confirm with Marie Claire that the star has had a boyfriend for a few years.
It is believed this boyfriend is Russian-born artist Lev Rukhin who has made a name for himself with his “drive-by” photography on Instagram.
Pictures of the two surfaced whilst Ms Oh was filming the second series of Killing Eve in Rome.
The images showed Ms Oh with her arms around Mr Ruhkin’s neck, fully engaged in what appears to be a passionate kiss.
Whilst another showed her walking and holding hands with Mr Ruhkin through a busy section of town.
The couple were also pictured together at the White House attending a State Dinner held for Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in 2016.
Although neither party has confirmed the relationship, Mr Rukhin does add promotional photos of Ms Oh, such as magazine cover shoots and bus adverts for Killing Eve, into his candid street shots.
