Meyers and Lane have been together since 2014 and got engaged the same year. The couple shared a photo together in May 2015 following a "minor relapse" in the actor's recovery from alcoholism.

"Mara and I are thankful for your support and kindness," the star wrote at the time. "I feel I made a mistake and feel quite embarrassed but this was just a blip in my recovery otherwise I'm living a healthy life."

Meyers is best known for playing King Henry VIII on the Showtime series The Tudors. He recently appeared on the History drama Vikings, and will star in the thriller Black Butterfly with Antonio Banderas.
