Following his starring role alongside Saoirse Ronan in Mary Queen of Scots, Jack Lowden has quickly become one of Britain’s most sought-after actors. Rumoured to be a potential choice for the next James Bond, the actor stars opposite Gary Oldman in the AppleTV+ thriller Slow Horses — which just so happens to be about a team of British Intelligence agents.

While he remains hush-hush on whether Bond’s casting director, Barbara Brocolli, has made that all-important call, there is one thing he seems to be more open about: his connection to Ronan. Rumoured to have started dating shortly after Mary Queen of Scots premiered, the couple hasn’t officially announced that they’re, well, a couple. But thanks to Lowden’s social media, it would seem they’ve made it Insta official at least.

If you’ve become unknowingly invested in the couple since their performance as husband and wife in Mary Queen of Scots, read on to find out how their relationship has continued to blossom.

December 2018: Rumours Start To Circulate

Rumours of a relationship started circulating in December 2018 when Ronan and Lowden were seen together at an afterparty for Mary Queen of Scots in New York, according to Page Six. “We don’t know when they got together, we only found out on Tuesday night when they rolled up together — but they seem very happy and sweet,” a source told the publication.
