The RFK star was the son of famous actor William Patrick "Bill" Roache, who played the role of Ken Barlow in the British soap opera Coronation Street since its first airing in 1960.
Roache's mother Anna Cropper was also an actress famous for her work in The Odd Man and Nanny. Anna was married to William Roache from 1961 to 1974.
Roache and Bennett started acting at a young age. Roache was only 11 when he began his acting career in 1975. The actor made a two-week appearance in the soap opera Coronation Street as young Barlow.
Rosalind was 14 when she made her first-ever theatre appearance in 1980. The actress made her on-screen debut with Coronation Street in 1986 when she turned 20.
The Actors Were In Their 20s When They First Met
Roache met Bennett for the first time in 1989 when he was preparing for a theatre play in London. Since both of them gravitated toward stage performances, their path crossed at a point.
The two actors met and fell in love with each other. At that time, Roache was 25, and his new girlfriend Bennett was 23. The couple would then date each other for 14 years before marrying in 2003.
Both actors enjoyed considerable success in TV and theatre alike and were determined to build a solid career in acting. So, the couple used caution and only maintained a living relationship for over a decade.
After 14 years of dating, Roache and Bennett finally decided to get married. At that point, Roache was 39 and still active in films and TV. However, his partner, Bennett, had already left her career in TV and movies in the rear side.
Fourteen years after their marriage, Roache turned 58, and his wife, Bennett, is 56. The couple is not active on social media. However, there is a fan page for Linus Roache on Instagram with 561 followers.
