She started dating John Dineen in 2013.
Downton Abbey star Michelle Dockery's fiancé. John Dineen, an Irish public relations executive, died Sunday at 34 years old from a rare form of cancer, People reports.
Dockery and Dineen started dating in 2013 after Allen Leech, who plays Tom Branson onDownton Abbey, introduced them. They kept their relationship extremely private — the first time Dockery ever commented publicly was last year, when she said, "I have a wonderful man in my life from Ireland. […] That's all you need to know."
Later, in an interview with Red magazine, Dockery said she turned to Dineen for career tips. "I've got people around me who I can turn to for advice: my mum, and my partner, John," she said. "But, at this stage, my instincts are pretty good."
According to the Irish Independent, Dineen was working as a senior director at FTI Consulting in London when he was diagnosed, and then went back home to Cork, Ireland to be with his family; he also went to Germany for medical care. Dockery reportedly cut her Downton promotional tour short and was by his side in hospice this weekend when he passed away.
A funeral is reportedly being planned for Wednesday. Dockery's publicist released the following statement to ITV News: "The family is very grateful for the support and kindness they have received but would kindly request that they are left to grieve in private."
