As we stated above, Ruth was involved in a relationship before. She was dating English actor Dominic Cooper for some time. The couple first met in the year 2009, while both of them were working in the National Theatre. 

The pair were working in the theatre drama Phedre when they first bumped into each other. It was then when they decided to go out and know more about one another.

According to Dominic, Ruth was his greatest critic and his motivator who helped him hone his acting skill even better. The couple was in a relationship for a few years but during their romantic fling, they remained low-key.

They even worked together as pairs several times and most recently, they are working in the series, Preacher. Ruth is playing the role of Tulip O'Hare. The couple shares an extra-ordinary on-screen chemistry which dictates how strong they are together. 

But they were never able to translate their romance into a long-term relationship. Since 2017, the couple isn't spotted together which implies they are no longer dating, but as fate would have it, they are working in the same series.

Well, who knows, maybe they'll get back together while working together.
