2024 Emmys: See Connie Britton & Boyfriend David Windsor's Date Night

Of course, the moment also paid homage to Connie, Meredith and Susan’s ability to leap to even bigger roles in their careers. 

“These days we can be a country star,” Connie explained on stage of her later roles in Nashville and American Horror Story. “The head of a haunted household.”

And while David—whom she started dating in 2019—was not nominated for an award, Connie’s speech credited his profession with women’s growing status in the entertainment industry. 

As she noted before presenting the trophy to Hacks, “None of this would be possible without the contributions of great TV writers.” (See every winner here.)

Connie’s rare night out with her partner was not the only flicker of romance at the 2024 Emmys. Selena Gomez—nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series thanks to her work on Only Murders in the Building—brought along boyfriend Benny Blanco as her plus one, only adding to the increasing engagement rumors.  

Meanwhile, Holland Taylor—who was nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama series—may have lost the night’s honor to The Crown’s Elizabeth Debicki, but she won in the romance department with the support of her longtime girlfriend Sarah Paulson on the red carpet.
