Rachel McAdams isn’t often spotted out and about, but this week she was seen at Los Angeles International Airport alongside her longtime partner, screenwriter Jamie Linden.
The couple kept things casual as they moved through baggage claim on Wednesday evening, looking more like any other travelers than Hollywood stars.
Casual and Coordinated Style
The Mean Girls actress, now 46, opted for a laid-back look with a chambray button-up layered over a black T-shirt, paired with tan pants.
Her signature wavy hair spilled out from under a baseball cap, and she accessorized with a pair of wired headphones casually hanging around her neck.
Jamie, 44, complemented her relaxed style with a white T-shirt beneath a patterned blue shirt and light-wash jeans.
Together, they gave off an effortlessly coordinated vibe.
Blending In, Not Standing Out
Rachel, known for her glamorous red carpet looks, was almost unrecognizable as she kept things understated at the airport.
She was seen wheeling two large hard-shell suitcases, clearly trying to fly under the radar while traveling with Jamie.
A Relationship Built Away From the Spotlight
The actress and the screenwriter have been together since 2016, but they’ve always kept their romance incredibly private.
Over the years, they’ve welcomed two children: a son in 2018 and a daughter in 2020.
Despite their Hollywood backgrounds, both parents have been intentional about shielding their kids from public attention.
Rachel on Motherhood
Back in 2018, just months after welcoming her first child, Rachel opened up to The Times about her experience as a new mom.
She described motherhood as “the greatest thing that’s ever happened” to her and admitted that after nearly four decades of focusing on herself, she was ready to give her attention to someone else.
When asked if she purposely waited until later in life to have children, Rachel explained that it wasn’t part of a plan—it simply happened when the timing was right.
For her, finding a supportive, creative partner like Jamie was key, especially with the unpredictable lifestyle that comes with being an actor.
Protecting Their Family’s Privacy
Rachel and Jamie rarely speak publicly about their children, and even their daughter’s name has been kept under wraps.
In a rare mention during a 2022 interview with Access Hollywood, Rachel shared her excitement at the thought of her daughter one day watching Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret, a film she starred in.
Relationships Before Jamie
Before finding lasting love with Linden, Rachel’s relationships occasionally made headlines.
She dated fellow actor Michael Sheen for two years before their split in 2013.
Earlier in her career, she was famously linked to Ryan Gosling, her co-star in The Notebook.
What’s Next for Rachel?
While Rachel McAdams continues to keep her family life private, fans are always eager to see her next move—both on-screen and off.
For now, it seems she’s focused on balancing her career with motherhood, a role she’s made clear is her most cherished yet.
