Personal life

In 2012, Shepherd was romantically linked to actress Marin Ireland when the couple both worked for a Wooster Group production of Troilus and Cressida in London.[11] During the period, the two physically fought at home, with Ireland once appearing at rehearsals with a black eye. Ireland left the production, and has accused the company of unjustly putting pressure on her to do so.[11]
