During an interview with E!, Matthew opened up about the duo's on screen chemistry, which started with a slap. "It goes back to the audition, the first audition that I had, the chemistry read that I had with Keri where she was told by Gavin O'Connor, the director, to slap me in the scene," he explained. "Completely unbeknownst to me, and did incredibly hard, and has consequently continued to do so in two seasons now. It's happened several times. She likes to do it at inopportune moments, or when she thinks I'm least expecting it."

In November, the duo were spotted taking some time off from filming their television show to enjoy some time biking around New York City. Keri and Matthew with be back to work filming season four of The Americans, which is set to premiere on FX later this year.
