Sharing a tender kiss in the sunshine, these exclusive pictures prove Emma Corrin has moved on after splitting from Hollywood star Rami Malek.
Just two months after The Mail on Sunday revealed the A-listers had separated, Corrin – who found fame playing Princess Diana in Netflix hit The Crown – has been spotted looking cosy with another actor, up-and-coming Zachary Hart.
The pair, who appeared together on stage earlier this year in a production of Anton Chekov's The Seagull, were rumoured to have struck up a relationship following the play – and these pictures show them together for the first time as they took a romantic stroll in North London with Hart's dog, Spencer.
Corrin, 29, who wore a simple blue vest and jeans for the outing, even appeared to introduce Zachary to Benedict Cumberbatch, whom the couple bumped into on their walk.
Corrin looked delighted to see the Sherlock star, who was carrying a football and had his arm in a sling. He would not have needed any of his on-screen detective skills to note that the pair already looked very happy in each other's company.

It is understood that since appearing in the production at London's Barbican theatre – which also starred Oscar winner Cate Blanchett – they have been enjoying a 'very low-key' relationship away from the public eye. The pictures taken this week certainly suggest they are keeping things casual.
Rising star Hart, 35 – who had a brief role in the last series of Apple TV+ espionage drama Slow Horses – appeared to have done some shopping with Corrin, and was seen helping the star put some bags into a car boot.
They then enjoyed a brief kiss before apparently heading back to the £5 million home Corrin shared with Bohemian Rhapsody star Malek. Hart is currently performing in Stereophonic, a play about a 1970s rock band on at London's Duke of York Theatre.

Corrin, 29, who is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, has previously said their role in The Crown which catapulted them to superstardom both 'changed their life' while also the 'greatest warning' about fame

Corrin and Malek, who won an Oscar for his role as Freddy Mercury in the Queen biopic, had been together for almost two years with Malek even working with a leading jeweller to design a 'special ring to mark his commitment to Emma' last summer, this newspaper understands.
Despite a flurry of red carpet appearances, the couple were notoriously private about their relationship. In a magazine interview last May, Corrin declined to speak about Malek at all. Even less is known about Hart, or about his relationship with Corrin, who will next be seen in a new Netflix adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride And Prejudice.
