Jamie Dornan made a rare public appearance with his musician wife Amelia Warner as he supported her at the premiere of Kathleen Is Here at the Raindance Film Festival.
The Fifty Shades Of Gray actor and Amelia, also known by her stage name Slow Moving Millie, put on a loving show for the London premiere on Tuesday.
Musician and composer Amelia, 42, worked on the music for Irish film Kathleen Is Here – which tells the story of an 18-year-old girl who moves out of the care system into her mother’s old house, however her life of isolation leads her into an obsession that she cannot quite shake.
Amelia opted for a summery ensemble for the premiere: she wore an oversized white shirt with matching shorts, a pair of brown slides and sunglasses hanging from the collar.
Meanwhile, Jamie, 42, instead opted for a navy blue look despite the heat, wearing an open-neck polo shirt, a pair of white trainers and aviator sunglasses.

The pair looked utterly defeated as they stepped out together for the premiere, beaming at each other as they walked to the red carpet.
In January, Jamie broke down in tears during his emotional performance at Desert Island Discs as he said all he could think about was his wife.
Jamie appeared on Lauren Laverne’s BBC Radio 4 show – where he revealed the song he would fight through the waves to retrieve would be Forever by The Beach Boys.
In a touching tribute, Jamie admitted the song would top the list because it reminds him of his wife, musician Amelia, with whom he shares three daughters.
At the end of the interview, Lauren asked, “Out of the eight you shared with us today, which song would you like to save from the waves as quickly as possible?”
“Forever by the Beach Boys,” Jamie replied, before his voice cracked and he choked. “Family.”
Earlier in the show, Lauren revealed that Jamie was called in at the last minute to play Christian Gray in Fifty Shades of Gray after the original actor pulled out.
However, his wife Amelia was heavily pregnant at the time and his late father, Professor Jim Dornan, a renowned obstetrician and gynecologist from Belfast, had to fly with them to Vancouver in case she went into labour.

In January, Jamie broke down in tears during his emotional Desert Island Discs performance as he revealed what he would need to get him through would be the thought of his wife.
“I’m surprised Millie didn’t just say no,” he said. “Honestly, what an incredible woman to jump on a private jet because we couldn’t fly commercially with my dad on it because if she had to give birth in the air, there had to be a midwife.
“That’s serious. My father had to come with us.”
Jamie went on to reveal that as they approached Canada, his father, who passed away in 2021 due to Covid complications, decided to order a gin and tonic despite being ‘kind of working’.
He said, “I’ll never forget we were somewhere over New York and my dad ordered a gin and tonic.
“I was like, ‘I don’t know dad, you’re kind of working here when Millie goes into labor,’ and he said, ‘Son, she won’t be at work for at least seven or eight hours. By then we will be in Vancouver and it will be handed over to someone else.”
‘It was incredible. Three days later Dulcie was born and we started filming.’

In a touching tribute, Jamie admitted that The Beach Boys’ Forever would be top of the list because it reminds him of his wife, musician Amelia Warner (seen together in 2018).
Jamie left listeners reaching for their tissues after his appearance on the radio show, when he opened up about the death of his mother when he was just 16 years old.
The actor fought back tears as he discussed his mother’s terminal cancer diagnosis during the “emotional” interview.
Jamie admitted he suffers from guilt as he struggles to remember details about his mother Lorna, who was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 14.
The Tourist star, who lost his father Jim during the pandemic, admitted he was grateful to his father for sharing the news of his illness during a candid chat.
He said: ‘I’m kind of grateful that it was told to me that way. It’s a funny thing. I sometimes feel guilty saying this, but there is a lot I don’t remember about her. You don’t expect all of that to be taken away.”
