Katheryn Winnick, well-known for playing Lagertha in the television series Vikings, has long kept her personal affairs private.

She last gave any indication of her relationship more than a year ago when she shared an unguarded photo of herself with Michael Persall, her rumored lover.

She stood in front of Persall in the photograph, which was probably taken during a party, while partially obscuring his face with her head. He also carried a bottle of water in his left hand, while she was holding a glass.

Hundreds of comments congratulating the actress on her new relationship soon flooded the post from her fans.

One remarked, referring to her possible husband, “Luckiest man alive!”

But who is Michael Persall, and is he wed to Katheryn Winnick?

Persall is a member of the University of San Diego’s board of trustees, according to his LinkedIn profile. He assumed the role in September of this year. It’s interesting to note that he earned his accounting degree from the same university.

In addition, he serves as a managing manager at ABP, co-founder and board member of Blooma.ai, board member of Vuori, Inc., and chairman of the board at C3bank. Although he has chosen to use a private account, the California-based real estate agent also has an Instagram username.

In relation to Winnick and Persall’s courtship, nothing else has been said after the initial Instagram post.

Furthermore, neither of them has made it known if they are dating. Due to this, it is difficult to tell if they are still dating, were wed, or have cut off communication.

Winnick and Nick Loeb, the ex-fiance of Colombian actress Sofa Vergara, were seen out on a date in Los Angeles in January 2015. The two appeared at ease with one another as they waited outside the Sunset Tower Hotel, according to DailyMail.

The director and businessman wore a tan jacket over a loosely buttoned white dress shirt and dark-colored pants, while the actress wore a black dress with a low-cut V-neck and a mid-thigh-length skirt.

In Winnick’s white Porsche, which the actress herself drove, the two left the location. However, none of them ever made it known if they were dating.

After breaking off his engagement to Vergara in less than a year, Loeb was photographed with the actress.
