When actress Kerry Washington needs a shoulder to lean on or an ear to vent to, she turns to none other than Nnamdi Asomugha, her husband of more than a decade. Despite starring in one of the most successful, long-running political dramas in the 2010s, Scandal , Washington has stayed relatively under the radar and out of sight from the paparazzi. But Asomugha, a former athlete, is increasingly grabbing attention himself for his cinematic ventures; he wrote and directed The Knife , which showed at the Tribeca film festival this summer and received favourable reviews.
Washington, 47, chooses to keep her relationships out of the spotlight for the most part.

Asomugha, who reportedly has a net worth of US$30 million, per Celebrity Net Worth, is a former American football player and sometimes walks red carpets alongside his wife.
