Henry VIII may have married six times, but Jonathan Rhys Meyers – who plays the infamous king on The Tudors – isn't playing catch-up just yet.

Although he's been wearing a mysterious band on his left ring finder, the Showtime star said he's not married.

"It's from my girlfriend [Reena Hammer]," he told PEOPLE at the Sheraton New York Wednesday for the premiere of the show's second season. "It's an eternity ring. It's got a little message to me, a secret message."

When pressed on the significance of the band, the 30-year-old actor would only say, "It's just something that two people in a relationship give to each other."

Besides, Rhys Meyers added, "Everybody keeps asking me if I'm married ... It's nice to keep them guessing!"

awww, that's sweet.

I think he is smoking hot.

Don't like the pencil mustache, though.

well we know the ring doesn't give him and acting powers, he sucks. He's such a ham in the Tutors, I couldn't wait for the series to start and he blew it. Doesn't come close to Band of Brothers or Rome... big let down b/c of the egotist with 3 names.

I am not impressed by his looks, personality, or acting ability.

I'm watching the Tudors and it's a huge disappointment. The acting is crap, the dialogue is totally 20th century ("you are so weird") and they are dragging out the story beyond breaking point. We are up to Ep.6 here and Henry STILL hasn't got his divorce which should have happened in Ep.2

Yes, when that actress said that I had to rewind and see if she said what I thought she said. Why would they put that in the script?
It's not the greatest, but it's still fun to watch.
And he's still nice to look at.

Actually there are a couple of guys on that show who are quite nice!
I think JRM looks like Joaquin Phoenix's brother... it's..........weird.

And why are they travelling around in 18th century carriages? Sorry to be pedantic but these inaccurate details bug the hell out of me. It's obviously a big budget production and they are getting important things very wrong. But my biggest gripe is how glacially slow it all is. We just sat through 1 whole hour of everyone dying from the plague/sweating sickness and the actual plot didn't move forward at all. The whole thing needs some serious editing.

Is this series just about Henry and The Divorce or have we got Anne Boleyn and 4 more wives to get through?

^^ we are waiting for the next series to begin.. I thought it was supposed to begin this month. Nothing much happens the first year, he diddles and fiddles.

Everytime he does his King Henry laugh I want t slap him. Mercy the man is bad.

I used to think he was hot until I started watching Tutors.

Wish Rome hadn't been so good maybe then I wouldn't have had such high expatiations.

JRM gives me the creeps. He always bugs his eyes out when he has a photo snapped. He tries to look intense, and instead looks like Charles Manson.

**cmmdee** · March 21st, 2008, 10:00 AM

Well, he DOES have Crazy Eyes but I actually really liked him in Match Point.
Don't know much of his work. Will have to catch the Tudors on my Ond Demand. Have never seent he series.

**Hooey** · March 22nd, 2008, 01:18 AM

So will we be seeing Jane Seymour or will the second season be all about Anne and Henry?

If I remember my history right, it took several years before they actually were married, and then only because she was pregnant and he wanted his "prince" to be declared legitimate.

And I agree- this really is a come down after Rome.
