British actor Russell Tovey, known for his roles in "Years and Years" and "Gavin and Stacey," has largely kept his personal life private. However, his past engagement to actor Steve Brockman was a notable exception. The couple, who dated from 2016 and became engaged in 2018, eventually parted ways.
Tovey revealed in a 2020 interview that he sold his engagement ring, humorously stating he gave the money to his brother for a family trip, calling it a "big exorcism." Though the couple rekindled their relationship in 2019, Tovey confirmed in July 2025 that he is currently single.
Reflecting on dating as a celebrity, Tovey discussed the "weird scenario" and "imbalance" that comes with public recognition. He also shared his journey of self-acceptance and finding community as an openly gay actor, embracing the idea of being a "possibility model" rather than just a role model.
