After hitting the headlines for both his record breaking win and a tense moment with his partner, Matthew Rhys has called his historic night at the Emmys 'surreal'.The Welsh star made history at Monday's ceremony as the first actor to win two leading acting gongs in different categories in one night.But his triumphant night was somewhat overshadowed by behind-the-scenes footage showing his partner Keri Russell, 50, appearing to chide him after he snubbed her twice in his victory speeches.Matthew, 51, hasn't addressed any supposed drama with Keri, but did take to Instagram on Wednesday to share a snap of himself holding his two trophies during a night of heavy celebrations. 'A very surreal night but a very real hangover. Thank you for all the lovely messages!' he captioned his post.Video emerged on Wednesday of Keri, who has been in a relationship with Matthew for 12 years, in a frosty moment with the actor after he picked up his second Emmy of the night. After hitting the headlines for both his record breaking win and a tense moment with his partner, Matthew Rhys has called his historic night at the Emmys 'surreal' His triumphant night was somewhat overshadowed by behind-the-scenes footage showing his partner Keri Russell , 50, appearing to chide him after he snubbed her twice in his speechesThe Welshman surprised viewers when he forgot to thank – or even mention – Keri in his speeches at the ceremony in Los Angeles.In footage shared by Yahoo News reporter Taryn Ryder, Russell appeared to swat Matthew's hand away as he wrapped her up for a picture with a photographer.She then pulled Matthew in close and kissed his cheek for the cameras before they sat down and she spoke to him, patting her hand on his shoulder.It is unclear what Keri said in the moment, with fans speculating that the hand-swat was a reaction to Matthew failing to mention his partner of 12 years in his speeches.Following the snubs, Matthew appeared to try and cover his tracks as he declared that he would not display his Emmys in his home until Keri also collects one of the awards.When asked in a backstage interview: 'Where are you going to put your two Emmys? Where are they going to go?'Matthew explained the Emmy he won for The Americans is in the basement.He told Variety: 'It's a long story. It's in the basement because I kind of said when Keri wins one, I'll take mine out.' Video emerged on Wednesday of Keri, who has been in a relationship with Matthew for 12 years, in a frosty moment with the actor after he picked up his second Emmy of the night Speaking to the press after his two wins, he also joked that his family had been taking bets on whether he or Keri would scoop the awards on Monday night.'Its not playful, its all serious,' he quipped. 'I put a lot of money on myself... It's gonna be a rough week for her.'Matthew then praised his partner as 'always a class act', and said she 'is always really the winner, and I think next year she might get one.'During his first acceptance speech of the night for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie, which he won for The Beast in Me, Matthew failed to utter the name of the actress, whom he fell in love with while they were starring together on The Americans.In his shock, Matthew didn't even appear to glance at Keri as he got up to accept the award, but he did stop to hug an overjoyed Claire Danes, his co-star in The Beast in Me.Matthew had the good fortune to score a rare opportunity to remedy the slight when he was called up to the stage later in the broadcast when he won his second award of the evening, Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for his Apple TV+ horror–comedy Widow's Bay.But again he failed to mention Keri during his second acceptance speech.Toward the end of his second speech, Matthew made sure to thank multiple family members, including his parents and his sister, whom he mentioned was in the audience.'She was the brains of the outfit all along,' he joked, adding, 'Thank you for all the sage words and patient listening.'Despite Matthew apparently snubbing his partner of 12 years, Keri suggested she was still fully supporting him when she was seen letting out a big cheer and applauding enthusiastically from their table when Matthew won his second award of the night.
