Rafe and Esther's relationship was confirmed back in November 2022 when they were pictured walking hand in hand whilst strolling down the streets of Notting Hill.
Their relationship came after Rafe split with his wife of 12 years, actress Elize du Toit, with whom he shares three children.
Rafe and Esther play husband and wife in the popular Apple TV+ series, which follows their characters Jason and Nikki on their journey to becoming parents.
The fourth season, which debuts on May 22, is set six years on from series three and follows the couple as they navigate new challenges with their adopted children, Tyler (Cooper Turner) and Princess (Scarlett Rayner).
The synopsis reads: "In this exciting new season, we fast-forward six years, discovering that Nikki and Jason are experienced adopters having built a lovely little nuclear family, enriched by an extraordinary support network.
"However, as their teenage daughter, Princess, starts to yearn for a connection with her birth mother, Nikki and Jason find themselves confronted with the ultimate test of their parenting skills."
