Despite that very public (and undeniably sweet) display of affection, Doherty largely keeps her personal life out of the spotlight. Her girlfriend isn’t in the industry, and Doherty herself has long seemed more interested in doing the work than reveling in the attention that comes with it. (“I honestly have difficulty processing [fame], even now,” she said in 2020, after breaking out as Princess Anne in Seasons 3 and 4 of The Crown.)

Who is Erin Doherty’s partner?
Doherty is in a relationship with Sinéad Donnelly, who works as a radiographer at Whipps Cross Hospital in London. It’s unclear when the two lovebirds started dating, but it was presumably sometime after Doherty’s split from previous longtime girlfriend Sophie Melville. (That breakup was confirmed in March 2025 but likely took place a bit before then.)
Despite dating an actress, Donnelly has no known ties to the entertainment industry. She works as a radiographer at London’s Whipps Cross Hospital, which is run by the Bart’s Health NHS Trust. According to her LinkedIn profile, she earned her Bachelor of Science from Birmingham City University in 2011 and her Master of Science in Nuclear Medicine from the University of Salford in 2016.

Is Erin Doherty still with Sophie Melville?
The couple was together for about seven years. They met in 2017 while working on The Divide, a play by Alan Ayckbourn that debuted at the Edinburgh International Festival and opened the following year on London’s West End, and made their romance public in 2019 — the same year Doherty debuted in The Crown.
She went on to lament the “years and years and years” that some actors have spent hiding their sexuality for the supposed sake of their success, saying, “I just want to be part of trying to do something about that.”
Who was Erin Doherty’s long-term girlfriend?
Prior to dating Donnelly, Doherty was in a seven-year relationship with actress Sophie Melville, whom she met in 2017 while doing the play The Divide in London. (They also shared the stage in 2019 for Ross Willis’s Wolfie.) In a video shot for Audible in 2020, Doherty called her partnership with Melville her “greatest achievement.”
It’s unclear why the couple called it quits after seven years together, as neither party has spoken publicly about the breakup.
When did Erin Doherty come out?
She went on to explain that, prior to coming out, her relationships with men weren’t “satisfying in that whole-hearted way that I wanted them to be” and that when she finally dated a woman it was “mind-blowing.”
Now 33, Doherty hopes that by telling her story, she can help others embrace their sexuality, too. “Just lean into your truth," she said. "Because there was something so monumental about that moment of going, whoa, like this is me and just embracing it and not applying anything else to it. I just think we all deserve that.”
