Many of us recognize actress Cynthia Addai-Robinson for portraying the lead Nadine Memphis in Shooter (2016-18).
The British actress made an add-on to her TV credits- thanks to the role of Queen Regent Míriel in the TV series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (2022).
At the age of 4, Addai-Robinson moved to the United States & has since made Hollywood her home ground. In addition to praiseworthy TV works in Spartacus (2012-13), Arrow (2013-16), and Chicago Med (2016-19), she accumulated big screen credits; notably with Ben Affleck in The Accountant (2016).
How Old Is Cynthia Addai-Robinson? Nationality & Family
Born on January 12, 1985, in London, the UK, Cynthia comes from American-African background- a US citizen father and Ghanian mother. The Arrow actress holds British nationality.
Addai-Robinson’s mother moved then-4-year-old Cynthia to the suburb of Washington DC, the United States & raised her singly.
The TV star is very close with her mother & often shares pictures with her on Instagram.

As of 2022, Cynthia Addai-Robinson is 37 years old.
She has a height of 5 feet 6 inches, with black hair and brown eyes adding up to her tall frame body.
Is Cynthia Married? Details On Husband & Relationship
Yes, Addai-Robinson who plays Dr. Vicki Glass in Chicago Med is happily married.
Currently, Cynthia lives with her husband Thomas Hefferon, an Irish filmmaker & music video director who was born in London (same as Cynthia). His filmography includes the direction of short films: The Psychologist, Loose Change, The Confession, and The Heist.
They are yet to share children.

Reportedly, the two began dating in early 2018 but have kept a cover in their courtship. Well, assumptions are that they met through a link of the on-screen industry.
Moreover, the wedding of the duo was a secret unless they hinted at it via Instagram.
The Instagram posts were the story-teller of the couple’s love story as well as their marriage.
In July 2018, Thomas Hefferon made a first-ever IG post featuring Cynthia, while it was nearly a year later in February 2019 for the British actress.
Addai-Robinson And Hefferon Wed Amid COVID Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic was chaotic, but on the positive side, it made the loved ones understand each other more. And in the midst of the pandemic, the Spartacus star decided to tie the knot with her filmmaker boyfriend.
On 2021 New Year’s Day, Addai-Robinson’s husband confirmed that they were married via an Instagram post. It featured a snap from their wedding moment- the bride wore a white double-duty bridal suit while Hefferon posed with an Alice-blue suit.
It read, ” I married my best friend, soul mate and the love of my life. I am truly hopefully for 2021 and am so excited to travel into it with my amazing wife!”

Even though, ‘The Lord of the Rings’ actress didn’t post about her wedding moments right away, it was a few weeks after their marriage, that she took to Instagram on January 12, 2021 (her birthday) to mention her husband.
Well, the post covered answers for “How do you celebrate in times like these? (during the COVID-19 pandemic)” and, her answer included “I’m celebrating the loves of my life: my family, my husband, my friends, old and new.”
No wonder, like many actors, Cynthia tries possible ways to keep her family & relationship a bit low-key, but it’s not 100% social-media-proof though.
TV Career Hype From ‘Spartacus’
With guest TV appearances in Law & Order, CSI: Miami, Dirt, Entourage, Numb3rs, and CSI: NY, Addai-Robinson got a recurring role, Debbie, in FlashForward (2010-12).
