Froggatt previously married IT consultant James Cannon in 2012.
In an interview with The Telegraph in February 2020, the actor confirmed that the two had been "separated for a little while", with their divorce finalising in June 2021.
Last August, the Daily Mail reported that Froggatt was dating a new man, publishing a paparazzi photo of the two of them out together. The Downton Abbey star has not publicly acknowledged the relationship.

Froggatt has been confirmed for the third Downton Abbey film, which begins shooting this summer. The movie was confirmed by The Crown's Imelda Staunton in March, letting slip the news during an interview on Zoe Ball's Radio 2 Breakfast Show.
In May, the cast was announced, with Paul Giamatti a surprise name returning to the franchise as Cora Crawley's brother. Froggatt will reprise her role as Anna Bates alongside on-screen husband Brendan Coyle.
Hugh Bonneville, Elizabeth McGovern, Michelle Dockery, Phyllis Logan, Robert James-Collier, Penelope Wilton, and Lesley Nicol are among those who will also be back.
New cast additions include Joely Richardson, Alessandro Nivola, Simon Russell Beale, and Arty Froushan.
The news was shared in a short video on Universal Pictures' official Instagram page, which showed the cast coming together for a catch-up and possible read-through.
The Downton Abbey series can be streamed on ITVX Premium, Prime Video and Netflix, while the first film can be bought and rented digitally, and A New Age can be streamed on Netflix.
