Is Erin Doherty married and does she have children?

Erin had kept her private life completely away from the spotlight.

But in 2022, she claimed that her greatest achievement in life is her relationship with her girlfriend Sophie Melville.

While they have acted opposite each other, they try not to ever compete for the same roles.

Erin told Porter: "Sophie and I don't go up for the same roles, but we understand the limits of each other's work. When a self-tape audition comes in, both of us are like, 'Let's drop everything and get it done.'"
