8 Jul
Summary
- Sam Esmail proposed to Emmy Rossum via a fake New York Times story.
- Rossum was in the bathtub when her now-husband orchestrated the proposal.
- The couple met on the set of the film Comet in 2013.
The romance between actress Emmy Rossum and 'Mr. Robot' creator Sam Esmail started in 2013 when they met on the set of the film 'Comet.' Rossum starred in the movie, which Esmail directed and wrote. Their professional interaction soon evolved into a personal relationship.
By August 2015, after two years together, the couple became engaged. Esmail planned a unique proposal, drawing inspiration from their shared tradition of reading 'The New York Times' 'Modern Love' section. He secretly penned a fictional story about a director falling for an actress and had it published in a replica of the newspaper.
Rossum discovered the proposal while reading the story in the bathtub. Esmail subsequently proposed in a manner he described as cinematic. The couple, who made their public debut in June 2014, later worked together on the limited series 'Angelyne,' which premiered in 2022.
