Before finding love with Rabil, 39, Vanessa Kirby, 36, was previously in a relationship with actor Callum Turner, her co-star in Queen and Country.
On the professional front, Kirby continues to rise as one of Hollywood’s most versatile actresses. She is set to take on the role of Sue Storm in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, where she will star alongside Gladiator II sensation Pedro Pascal. Fans are eager to see her tackle the iconic Marvel role, which marks another major milestone in her impressive career.
