Amy Russell is best known for being the wife of A Million Little Things star Ryan Hansen. But that doesn’t mean Amy is any less talented. In fact, she even turned down an offer to star in Ryan Hansen Solves Crimes. She’d rather spend a cozy evening at home than walk the red carpet among the stars.
Meet Amy Russell, Ryan Hansen’s wife
Amy Russell and Ryan Hansen have a wonderful relationship. The couple got married on June 12, 2004 and even after 17 years of marriage, they are still more in love than ever.
According to Ryan, he fell in love with Amy from the day he met her. She is his “best friend, lover and mother of three daughters”. But what Ryan appreciates most about his wife is her understanding of his career.
In addition to enjoying each other’s company, Amy and Ryan even enjoy hanging out with Kristen Bell and her husband Dax Shepard. In 2019, the couple went on vacation together and posted their vacation for all to see.
For those who are confused, Amy and Ryan have always been close friends with Kristen Bell. In 2009, Kristen told Cosmo that they were all roommates at the time. So that might explain where it all started.
Additionally, Amy was the only witness at Kristen and Dax’s courtroom wedding in 2013. After the wedding, Kristen told Amy she had to go to work and “pretend to have sex with your husband, (Ryan). And I did.”
Well, their relationship goes like this. It may be a bit of an unusual friendship, but it’s very innocent.
For Ryan, Kristen is like a sister to him. “This woman makes life so much better. It’s been an honor to live this crazy life with our family. I love everything about you. It’s been a pleasure to carry you around on my shoulders anytime Lil bud,” he had some kind words for Kristen on IG.
How many children do Amy Russell and Ryan Hansen have?
Amy Russell and her husband Ryan Hansen have three children together, all girls. The couple often take their children on vacation.
After the COVID-19 lockdown, the Hansens went camping on the California coast. Their young daughters were still in school at the time. Luckily, online classes were a priority at the time, so the girls took Zoom classes on the road. “And we couldn’t be happier campers,” Ryan says.
The couple also took the children to Oahu Hawaii in April of the following year.
Fun fact: Amy’s daughter, Crosby Jane, was born in 2009.
Amy Russell’s age
Amy Russell is believed to have been born after 1980. So as of 2021, she cannot be older than 41 years old.
She is celebrated on September 5th every year and belongs to the zodiac sign of Virgo.
On his 2020 birthday, Ryan wrote on his IG: “Happy birthday to my favorite person in the universe, Amy Honeybee Hansen (Amy doesn’t have a middle name so when she was 5 she chose Honeybee!) I LOVE YOU.”
Amy Russell’s work
Amy Russell is a cinematographer, best known for her work on Roseline: The Story of an AIDS Victim (2008). Additionally, she and Ryan are part of CYT (Christian Youth Theatre) and work in the Summer Camp Program with children.
According to Ryan, being a Christian in Hollywood is different. “There aren’t many people like us, but you know, my wife Amy and I believe that we can be true to our values and our morals and live good lives regardless of what other people do. So it’s all good,” he shared.
Even though Ryan became an actor, Amy chose to stay off-screen. When Ryan released Ryan Hansen Solves Crimes (a fictionalized version of his real life), he originally planned to include Amy in the series. But Amy declined.
After that, the whole family stayed away from it.
“Honestly, she would probably be great, but I wouldn’t be able to keep my cool (acting with her),” Ryan shared his thoughts on Amy not being in the film.
When not working, Amy enjoys doing her hair, sipping wine, and enjoying “God’s wonderful grace.”
