Emma Corrin and Rami Malek seemed like the perfect Hollywood couple, with their high-profile roles and undeniable chemistry.
He captivated audiences as Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody, earning an Oscar for his performance, while she brought Princess Diana to life in The Crown, even winning a Golden Globe.
But despite the dream-like pairing, it turns out their relationship has quietly come to an end.
The End of a Nearly Two-Year Romance
The couple, who had been together for almost two years, have decided to part ways.
Sources confirm that their separation has been ongoing for some time now, though the exact reasons behind their breakup remain private.
The split comes less than a year after they reportedly purchased a £5 million mansion together in Hampstead, London.
It’s still unclear whether either of them continues to live in the sprawling home, or if they plan to sell it.
From Public Appearances to Privacy
Emma and Rami first caught the public’s attention as a couple when they were spotted together at a Bruce Springsteen concert in London in July 2023.
This was just months after Malek ended his relationship with Bohemian Rhapsody co-star Lucy Boynton.
As their romance blossomed, the two were seen sharing a kiss at a restaurant in Margate, Kent, where Corrin owns a home.
Despite their public appearances at glamorous events, the couple remained notoriously private, keeping details about their relationship close to the chest.
Both actors refrained from sharing much on social media, and in an interview last May, Corrin chose not to discuss their connection.
Navigating Identity and Public Perception
Corrin, who came out as queer in 2021 and identifies as non-binary, has been candid about the challenges they face due to their gender identity.
They’ve described the backlash they’ve experienced as “worse than anticipated,” noting that despite society’s claims of progress, there are still many setbacks in terms of acceptance.
Meanwhile, Malek has described Corrin as “fascinating” and shared a touching anecdote about a surprise Thanksgiving dinner they prepared for him, which “blew him away.”
Moving Forward with New Projects
As the two go their separate ways, Corrin is focusing on new projects, including a role in the Netflix adaptation of Pride and Prejudice.
They’ve been cast as the iconic Elizabeth Bennet, opposite Jack Lowden, who will play Mr. Darcy.
Corrin expressed excitement about the role, calling it a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
It seems that both actors are moving forward with their careers, each pursuing their next big venture.
