The couple became parents of a second child, a girl named Tallulah, in May 2009. Their third child, a daughter named Kura was born in September 2010. Plowman and Stephens performed together as Sibyl and Elyot in Jonathan Kent's revival of Private Lives for the 2012 Chichester Festival, reprised at the Gielgud Theatre in 2013.
