They tied the knot a year later, in January 2013.
The couple relocated to the US where Rebecca nabbed roles such as the iconic Clarice Starling in the CBS Silence of the Lambs spin-off series Clarice, and as Nicole in Pretty Little Liars.
After moving stateside, Luke also nabbed roles in the CW’s Tomorrow People and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
The couple relocated back to Australia around three years ago.
In 2023, Rebecca told TV Week the move home had been ‘good for the soul.’

‘It’s been really, really nice just to ground ourselves and be back home,’ she said.
‘I finally have a garden – I’ve been wanting to have a vegetable garden for so long. So we’re literally putting down roots back home and that has been very soothing for the soul.’
She added that her time in the US was made so much easier thanks to the fact that Luke was by her side.
‘It was really powerful to have someone who was your anchor and your home base, because it can be a very difficult experience, moving away from everything you’ve ever known,’ she said.
‘Our industry has a lot of pressure and a lot of highs and a lot of lows. It can be very lonely.’
