‘I don’t know if I’m still engaged’ Russell Tovey admits he’s unsure if he’s betrothed to his partner after he ‘sold his ring and gave the money to his brother for sweets’ when they last split
Russell Tovey has said he doesn’t know whether he’s still engaged after he sold his engagement ring and gave the money to his brother.
The Being Human actor, 38, was betrothed to Steve Brockman for six months in 2018, having been together since 2016.
The couple confirmed they had reconciled in August last year more than a year after they broke off their engagement.

Russell told The Telegraph: ‘Well, I don’t know how it works. Because we were, then we broke up, now we’re back together.
‘Is it like Snakes and Ladders? Do you go back to the beginning of the game and have to work your way back up again?’
The TV star explained they couldn’t resume the first engagement, after he sold the ring.
Russell wrote a cheque to his brother to spend on sweets when he took his family to Disney World.

But in August last year Russell posted a photo of himself shirtless in bed and surrounded by his three dogs.
He credited Steve, a personal trainer and trainee architect, as the photographer, confirming they were back together.
Steve then commented on the photo ‘My [world] with the word ‘world’ replaced with the Earth emoji.

The couple previously announced their engagement in February 2018.
At the time, Russell told MailOnline: ‘Completely unexpected but very very happy and looking forward to having a proper party to celebrate when back in London.’
Steve moved across the world to be with Russell in 2017, while he starred in New York‘s National Theatre show Angels In America, alongside Andrew Garfield.
