You know, I get to dress up all the time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know for a lot of people, marriage is something different. People used to have to be married to have a credit card. We [women] can have credit cards now.<\/p>\n<p>                      \t\t\t<!-- Dailymotion player (contact: Kutay.vardar@dailymotion.com) --><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don&#8217;t need my last name to go away. Like, I&#8217;m cool, if you want to be here, be here. If you don&#8217;t, that&#8217;s cool too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nKeri added: \u201cWe have kids, so like, that&#8217;s forever. To me, [marriage is] antiquated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nKeri previously tied the knot with Shane Deary in 2007 and they split in 2013.<\/p>\n<p>\nMeanwhile, Keri also addressed the controversy over Matthew not thanking her in his recent Emmy Awards speeches, insisting they had a pact about it.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe 51-year-old actor came under fire after last month&#8217;s ceremony because he picked up both Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for Widow&#8217;s Bay and Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for The Beast in Me, but failed to mention his partner in his acceptance speech.<\/p>\n<p>\nHowever, Keri &#8211; who was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for The Diplomat but lost to Pluribus star Rhea Seehorn &#8211; revealed she told Matthew not to worry about thanking her in a bid to ease his nerves about the night.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: \u201cHe was just so nervous. I mean, we were all nervous. But it\u2019s a lot of pressure.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;And we said to each other the week of, we\u2019re both nervous people. We\u2019re not in that world that much. We visit that world. So we were both so nervous.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;And I looked at him a few days before and I said, \u2018Okay, well, can you articulate what you\u2019re most nervous about?\u2019 And he\u2019s like, \u2018Yeah, having to speak.\u2019 And I said, \u2018Totally.\u2019 And I said, \u2018Take me off your plate.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cLike, you don\u2019t have to thank me, I know you love me, take me off your plate. There\u2019s so many people you have to thank.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nKeri noted Matthew still gets a &#8220;hard time&#8221; from the people he omitted from his speech at the 2018 Emmy Awards, when he won Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for his performance in The Americans.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe added: \u201cPeople still give him a hard time because he didn\u2019t say their name. Like, it\u2019s so crazy. People get nuts. It\u2019s stupid and it\u2019s also lame.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;So I said, \u2018Take me off your plate, that\u2019s not what this is.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI don\u2019t care if you want to thank the dog walker. You do whatever you want to do. That\u2019s your minute. That\u2019s your 45 seconds. So I just said, \u2018Take me off your plate.\u2019 And we kind of said to each other, \u2018We don\u2019t have to thank each other.\u2019 &#8220;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/keri-russell-matthew-rhys-tie-knot-1451918.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>10 October 2026 Keri Russell has no interest in getting married to Matthew Rhys.
