Rafe Spall was supported by his Trying co-star girlfriend Esther Smith on Monday at a screening for his new series, Under Salt Marsh, in London.
The couple went public with their romance back in November 2022, after their screen romance on the set of Apple+ comedy Trying, turned to real-life love.
Posing for photos on the red carpet at BAFTA 195 Piccadilly, Rafe, 42, sweetly kissed Esther, 40, on the forehead.
The actor looked smart in a green, double breasted blazer, which he paired with a polka dot tie.
Meanwhile, Esther opted for a black jumper dress, layered over a sheer sequinned skirt and teamed with heeled boots.
They were joined at the screening by Rafe's co-star Kelly Reilly, 48, who looked glamorous in a plunging lace top and flares trousers.

Miniseries Under Salt Marsh, which is set for release on January 30, sees Rafe take on the role of Detective Eric Bull.
Set in a tight-knit community in Wales it follows teacher and former detective Jackie Ellis (played by Kelly) as she discovers the body of her 8-year-old pupil, Cefin, who has seemingly drowned.
A plot synopsis reads: 'The discovery sends shockwaves through the community, reviving the ghost of an unsolved cold case that rocked the town three years prior - the disappearance of Jackie’s niece, Nessa, which cost her career.'
In Trying, Rafe and Esther portray couple Jason Ross and Nikki Newman who want to become parents, but struggle to conceive a child.
The real-life couple went public with their romance in November 2022, after it was revealed Rafe and former Hollyoaks star Elize du Toit - who have three children together - had split after 12 years.
In November 2024 Rafe and his partner Esther were pictured with their new baby for the first time as they enjoyed a family day out in London.
They had announced the pregnancy during an appearance on Lorraine in May 2024, though they didn't reveal when the tot was due or the sex.
In July 2022, Rafe told Filmhounds of his relationship with Esther: 'I get to hang out with Esther all day. We really get on. She's my favourite person I've ever done acting with.'

In another interview, he told Nerds That Geek: 'People often comment on the chemistry that we have with each other.
'And I'm really pleased that people enjoy it, but… they won't enjoy it as much as we do.'
Trying has been renewed for a fifth series on Apple TV+ although a release date is yet to be revealed.
The fourth season saw the couple's life fast-forwarded six years with Nikki (Smith) and Jason (Spall) being experienced adopters having built a lovely little nuclear family, enriched by an extraordinary support network.
However, as their teenage daughter, Princess (Rayner), starts to yearn for a connection with her birth mother, Nikki and Jason find themselves confronted with the ultimate test of their parenting skills.
