He also admitted that he was still getting used to being a newlywed, adding: "I just still can't get over the terminology and the vocab. Like, a 'married man' just sounds very old and 'my wife' sounds very possessive … So we don't really use that yet. But we just point to the rings and be like, 'Here, look. Draw your own conclusion.'"

The pair tend to keep their personal life out of the spotlight, with Freddie keeping private photographs away from his social media profiles.

As for Freddie's on-screen love life, his character Shaun is enjoying married life with Lea Dilallo. The pair finally tied the knot at the end of season four after their friendship developed into a romance.

The Good Doctor airs on ABC on Mondays at 10/9c.
