Rufus Sewell, the 56-year-old actor, is engaged to his girlfriend, Vivian Benitez, who is 30 years younger. They shared the news on Instagram with photos of Vivian wearing a big ring on her left finger, and one picture showed Rufus kissing her cheek. Vivian’s caption humorously mentioned the challenges of their relationship.
While details of the proposal are not shared, Vivian posted a photo from Rome a day before the announcement. Rufus has not posted about the engagement or commented on Vivian’s post. Let us learn more about this.
The actor who played Jasper in ‘The Holiday,’ Rufus Sewell, has been dating Vivian Benitez for at least two years. They have kept their relationship private but made a few red-carpet appearances together. They attended premieres for his movies ‘Old’ in 2021 and ‘The Diplomat’ in April.
This will be Rufus’s third marriage. Now that is interesting. His first marriage to Yasmin Abdallah in 1999 lasted only a year. Later, he married Amy Gardner, with whom he has a 21-year-old son named William, but they divorced in 2006. Rufus also has a 10-year-old daughter, Lola, with his ex-girlfriend Ami Komai.
Vivian Benitez teased her Instagram followers with a photo of her diamond engagement ring, and another showed Sewell kissing her, with his face obscured by her hand. She humorously wrote,
“Till death (or him continuing to walk on bathmats with his outside shoes) do us part.”
The couple had been together for several years before getting engaged, and it seems Sewell proposed during a romantic trip to Rome. Benitez shared a picture at the Trevi Fountain the day before the announcement, captioned: “3 am in Rome.” Followers and friends flooded the comments section to congratulate the couple on their happy news.
