Who Is Outlander Star Richard Rankin Dating?

Outlander’s Richard Rankin is currently dating Aussie sweetheart Sammie Russell, who owns Dream With Me, a luxury sleepwear label.

They both prefer to keep their relationship out of the public eye, with Richard rarely sharing pictures of himself and Sammie together on Instagram.

The famous pair were first spotted together at a red carpet event in March 2023 and also attended the Outlander season seven premiere.

Sammie, however, is based in Melbourne while Richard is in Scotland, where he films both Outlander and Rebus, so their relationship is long-distance.

The 41-year-old previously dated The Syndicate actress and co-star Theobold.

It’s not clear how long they’ve been together, but they’ve attended a few events together.

She played Sarah Travers in the 2015 season of the Kay Mellor drama, while Richard was behind Sean McGary in the same series.

Apart from The Syndicate, Theobold was Ivy Stuart in Downton Abbey, Ellen in Together and Amy in Netflix’s Crazyhead.

Rankin will return for season seven, part two, of Outlander, out on Friday, November 22.

It will be the beginning of the end for the show, although series eight has been confirmed as the drama’s final outing.

As long as there are no unprecedented delays, the eighth exit could arrive sometime in late 2025.

Outlander is available to watch on Starz and MGM+ through Prime Video Channels.
