The Brothers & Sisters and Walker co-stars have been married for 14 years and have two adorable daughters together – but their relationship hasn’t always been plain sailing

The end of the year is right around the corner and while that would usually spell celebrations, it also means our favourite Taylor Sheridan shows are coming to an end. Yellowstone is currently on season 5B, which may or may not be the series finale, whereas Special Ops: Lioness season two is on its penultimate episode, with the finale dropping on December 8.

Meanwhile, Dave Annable, who stars in both of Sheridan’s masterpieces – he played Lee Dutton in the Kevin Costner-led Western and Neal in the Zoe Saldaña-fronted spy thriller – is enjoying the shows just like any other fan. In a recent appearance on the Beyond the Mic podcast, the 45-year-old opened up about watching Lioness, where his character is Saldaña’s husband, with his IRL wife, Odette Annable. Funnily enough, he says, his missus gives him the side-eye whenever Neal is on screen, seemingly in hopes that her husband would be more like his fictional persona. To that, he playfully replies with, “I’m trying, I’m doing my best.”

Later in the interview, he leaves no chance to gush over his family, revealing that the best thing about his wife is her kindness and his favourite part about being a girl dad – the couple has two daughters, Charlie and Andi – is the “pure love” and “cuddles”.

So what do we know about Odette Annable?

What’s her background?

Odette Annable (née Yustman) was born in Los Angeles, California, and raised by a first-generation Cuban mother, Lydia Nodarse, who immigrated to the US at the age of 13, and a European father, Victor Oscar Yustman, who was born in Colombia and has French, Italian and Swiss roots. Most of her childhood was spent on her grandparents’ farm. She identifies as Cuban-American.

Until about five or six years old, Odette only spoke Spanish. When she realised she was different from her peers, she struggled with “trying to fit in a box”. In an interview with The CW, she recalls visiting her mother’s homeland when she was 10 and being taken aback by the living conditions there.
