Who is Rachel Brosnahan’s husband?

"I’ve been quite private about my personal life for a few reasons. The first being that it’s just that…personal. Jason and I also noticed early on that, while we are both the leads of successful television series, he has almost never been asked about our relationship while I have been asked on almost every red carpet I have walked in the last 2 years. We both find this double standard problematic and frustrating and opted to redirect those conversations to our work.”
Jason Ralph played one of the main leads in the Syfy series “The Magician” (2015-2020). He has also appeared in his wife's show, “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”, where he played Mike Carr, a recurring character.
