Meanwhile, the American actress, best known for her role in Episodes, wore a simple white T-shirt tucked into faded dark gray jeans.
The 41-year-old kept it natural while getting a fresh look and complimented the look with a pair of distressed New Balance sneakers and a black leather crossbody handbag.
The pair seemed to be in good spirits as they soaked up the London sunshine and Mircea looked up at her partner.
With an impressive height of six feet, Stephen once revealed that he believed he was unlucky in love and his height was an obstacle when it came to dating.
He told Alan Carr, “When they’re down there and I’m here, it’s a little tricky.”
Born in St. Louis, Mircea began dating the comedian after the pair met at an awards show and have since moved into a swanky £2.4 million mansion formerly owned by Ellen DeGeneres.
Of their relationship in 2019, Merchant said, “Apart from the fact that she’s amazing… there’s something really nice about not having the endless worries about filling that part of your life.
“That’s a very lonely life, one person’s life.”
