The couple had been photographed together at the Venice Film Festival, Wimbledon and at polo's Cartier Queen's Cup, but had rarely spoken of their relationship.

人们曾在温布尔登的威尼斯电影节和由卡地亚赞助、英女王主办的马球会上，拍到了这对璧人的合照，但他们二人鲜少提及感情问题。

In 2014, the actress said: "I have a wonderful man in my life from Ireland. We were introduced by Allen Leech. That's all you need to know."

道克瑞曾在2014年说道：“我有一个很棒的爱尔兰男友，是艾伦·里奇介绍的。没有什么其它事了。”

In an interview with Red Magazine,published this month, she spoke of the security her relationship brought her, confiding: "I've got people around me who I can turn to for advice: my mum, and my partner, John. But, at this stage, my instincts are pretty good."

在接受《红色杂志》采访时，道克瑞谈了谈这段感情给她带来的安全感，她吐露道：“我已经有了可以给我忠告的人：我的母亲和我的男友约翰。但我现在的直觉还是挺准的。”

"You quickly realise that the press can get to you. I've got people around me who I can turn to for advice: my mum, and my partner, John (Dineen, her PR fiancé). But, at this stage, my instincts are pretty good."

“你很快就会发现媒体报道有时会让你很难受。但我已经有了可以给我忠告的人：我的母亲和我的男友约翰（即约翰·迪恩，道克瑞的媒体公关）。但我现在的直觉还是挺准的。”

Leech, who plays Tom Branson in the ITV period drama, has said of introducing them: "John's like family to me and I knew he'd really get on with Michelle.

艾伦·里奇在《唐顿庄园》这部英国独立电视台（ITV）播放的历史剧中饰演了“小司机”汤姆·布兰森，他曾谈过撮合他们二人的事：“约翰就像我的家人，我知道他一定能和米歇尔合得来。”

"She's a great girl - probably as far from Lady Mary as you could imagine."

“米歇尔是个很棒的姑娘，和你们想象的一样，她和剧中饰演的大小姐玛丽可相去甚远。”
