They are rarely seen in public as a couple.
Still, Martin Freeman and his gorgeous girlfriend Rachel Mariam stepped out together Thursday evening for the Vogue x Netflix BAFTA Television Awards celebration at the Belvedere Restaurant in Holland Park.
The couple, aged 51 and 29 respectively, were utterly enchanted for the star-studded event, with Rachel showing off her incredible figure in a sheer skirt paired with a feather-trimmed bandeau top and sky-high heels.
Martin and Rachel – who starred in the hit BBC Three series Normal People – giggled as they arrived at the party in their super trendy finery.
The actress looked sensational in her black ensemble consisting of the sheer skirt, which featured a sequin lattice design and under which she wore high-waisted underwear but nothing else.
Happy days: Martin Freeman and his gorgeous girlfriend Rachel Mariam stepped out together on Thursday evening for the celebration of the Vogue x Netflix BAFTA Television Awards at the Belvedere Restaurant in Holland Park
Here they are: The couple, aged 51 and 29 respectively, were utterly enchanted for the star-studded event, with Rachel showing off her incredible figure in a sheer skirt paired with a feather-trimmed bandeau top and sky-high heels
To add to the drama of the look, she went for a strapless leather top trimmed with a feather trim at the top.
The strapless number showed off her inked arms, as she went for slick makeup and a pink manicure to tie the red carpet look together.
The Office star wore a plaid suit jacket with a black shirt and black trousers, gray suede loafers and 90s-inspired blue-tinted glasses.
Martin shares two teenage children Joe, 16, and Grace, 14, with ex-partner Amanda Abbington, 48. The actor co-parents two children with ex Amanda, following their divorce in 2016 after 16 years together.

The couple went public with their romance in 2021, when they graced the red carpet at the Raindance Film Festival Opening Night gala screening of Best Sellers at The Dorchester, just months after Amanda discussed their split.
Speaking of the impact the split would have on their children, she said in April, “I find it disturbing when I pretend to be this Stepford Wife parent…
‘Nobody is. I am sure I have done them irreparable damage and they will go into therapy at some point because of me and Martin.
“That’s what I strive for and what Martin also strives for: to create a place where they don’t hide anything.
“
Martin previously made the startling revelation that he had previously beaten his two children and called them “little f*****s.”

Speaking on the promotional tour for his new Breeders series, the Hobbit star admitted to twice physically punishing his children, despite then-partner Amanda forbidding smacking in the house.
“I know I’m not supposed to do it, but there are so many images of how (parenting) everything has to be just brilliant that it makes people feel bad,” he said in a candid interview with The Sunday Times.
Because it’s not brilliant. I mean it’s – it’s the best thing I’ll do.
But that doesn’t mean it isn’t really hard. You only rationalize this idea with a toddler?

‘Really, good luck. If you could do that, God go with you. Astonishing. I’m not proud that I did, but I did. I don’t think it’s policy. And I’ll do it again!’
