Published: August 6, 2026, 3:00 am

Juno Temple, the actress known for playing Keeley Jones in the hit Apple TV series Ted Lasso, has revealed that she is married. The actress shared the personal update during an August 4 appearance on TFI Unplugged, confirming that she met her husband, Michal Szymanski, while working on the show's second season.

The couple's relationship began with a bit of help from Temple's costar, Hannah Waddingham. At the time, Szymanski was working as a driver for Waddingham. Temple recounted that she approached Waddingham to ask if she could pursue a date with him. Waddingham recalled the interaction during the interview, noting that she gave her full support, telling Temple, "Yes, you can. He's gorgeous!"

The logistics of the budding romance involved a secret code between Waddingham and her driver, which allowed Temple to meet with him. Temple explained that they would arrange for Waddingham’s appointments to "accidentally" run over, providing the pair with time to connect. Since their meeting, Temple and Szymanski have reached several milestones together, including buying a house. Waddingham spoke warmly of the couple, describing them as "the greatest oxygen to each other."

Temple and Szymanski made their red carpet debut as a couple in 2022, following the filming of the show's second season. They have since appeared together at various events, most recently at the July 27 premiere of the fourth season of Ted Lasso in Los Angeles. During the premiere, Temple confirmed to photographers that their relationship began on the set of the series.

The fourth season of Ted Lasso premiered on August 5, more than three years after the show's third season concluded in 2023. The new episodes continue the story of Jason Sudeikis’ titular character, who now coaches a women's soccer team—a development that was proposed by Keeley at the end of the previous season. New episodes are released on Wednesdays on Apple TV.

"I got married," Temple confirmed in the interview before high-fiving costar Brendan Hunt as costars Waddingham and Jason Sudeikis applauded. "We met on Season 2 of 'Ted Lasso.'"

Temple and Szymanski first stepped out on a red carpet together in 2022, the year after Season 2 was filmed. They've continued to attend events and red carpets together since, including the fourth season premiere of "Ted Lasso" in Los Angeles on July 27.
