Keeley Hawes certainly has a romantic personal life, having been married to Matthew McFadyen, who played Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice, for 20 years.

Despite the couple's love for each other, Keeley often keeps her social media feeds dedicated to her professional career. However, on Valentine's Day, the Line of Duty star shared a beautiful tribute to her beloved with a sweet image collage. The four pictures showcased the pair's relationship, including a black-and-white photo of the duo on the beach together.

Other photos included Keeley and Matthew enjoying a romantic moment in a kitchen, playing around while trying on outfits for a glitzy awards night, and a video FaceTime where Matthew played an injured man.

Keeley didn't caption the post, instead posting only a string of heart emojis, but the star's legions of fans were quick to share their joy.

Even Keeley's celebrity friends were swayed by the sweet moment, with fellow actor Richard E. Grant also sharing a string of heart emojis in the comments.

Keeley and Matthew first met when they filmed Spooks together; however, the pair remained friends during this time as Keeley was married to cartoonist Spencer McCallum. After Keeley and Spencer split, she found love with Matthew.

The pair are proud parents to two teenage children, and speaking to CBS about parenting, Matthew said: "It's like a third act. It's exciting. We're like, 'OK, mini-breaks!'

"In the trenches when they're little, it's like, 'This is it forever,' but of course it's not. Then you realise, luckily, ours are really lovely, funny humans who are making you laugh and telling you off."

Keeley and Matthew famously starred together in Stonehouse, a drama centred on the former Labour MP John Stonehouse, who faked his own death in 1974.
