Off screen: the stars are both gay actors
Matt, 44, came out as gay in 2012 and later welcomed three children with husband Simon Halls.
Jonathan is believed to be dating fellow actor James Ellis after a string of appearances together – but the pair have not spoken publicly about the rumours.
It comes after Matt admitted dating his family eighteen years ago had been much more difficult, and hinted that the relationship with his mum and dad was still strained as a result.
Speaking to MR PORTER, the actor confessed his parents were shocked to learn he was gay, due to their religious beliefs – and revealed he now sees his grandmother as a real “loving and accepting Christian” as she gave “zero f****s’ on her sexuality.

However, the Magic Mike star has explained that he first dated his brother when he was 24, after claiming he was straight growing up in the “Bible Belt” of Texas.
Telling his parents two years later, Matt admitted he was surprised at how shocked they were – and it was actually his grandparents who accepted him straight away.
He said: ‘You know who was the coolest about it? My grandparents. They gave zero f****.

Before adding, in a seemingly subtle dig at the rest of his family: “My grandmother is blowing me away. To me, she exemplifies what a loving and accepting Christian is.
He went on to explain that his religious parents didn’t talk about his sexuality for six months after his discharge, culminating in a huge argument when he returned from college – which he says has still not been fully resolved. .
When asked if thirteen years later he was now on good terms with his parents, he revealed: ‘I would just say yes.
‘When you’re a family, you just table [put to one side] certain things to come to love each other. I feel very, very grateful to have the family that I do.
