The actress had been introduced to Dineen, then a public relations director at FTI Consulting in London, by Irish actor Allen Leech, who appeared alongside Dockery in Downton Abbey. The couple were first pictured together when they were on holiday in Venice, Italy, during the 2013 Venice International Film Festival. In 2015, it was reported that they were engaged, with Dockery showing off a diamond ring to her co-stars during screen tests.
