Josh O'Connor and Alison Oliver are a game, set, perfect match.
The Crown alum and Saltburn actress confirmed their romance on May 29, when they stepped out for a PDA-packed stroll in London together.
In photos of their casual outing, obtained by deuxmoi, Josh rocked an electric blue "Upper TWP History" baseball cap, navy blue trousers and a coordinating navy-and-green striped sweater while he strolled down the street beside Alison, who held onto his hand while wearing a matching sweatsuit and white sneakers.
At one point, the Challengers actor wrapped his arm around the Conversations With Friends star's shoulder and planted a passionate kiss on her lips before the couple continued their walk down the sidewalk, holding hands.
And while this may be the first time Josh, 35, and Alison, 27, have publicly showed affection for each other, it's not the first time the pair have stepped out together.
Earlier this month, the duo linked up at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival premiere of Josh's new film The Mastermind, where they posed with the actor's parents Emily O'Connor and John O'Connor on the red carpet.

And during a second Cannes outing, the pair appeared at a cocktail event together alongside friends Jeremy O'Harris, Este Haim, Danielle Haim and his Mastermind costar Alana Haim.
In a video shared to TikTok May 24 from the occasion, Josh sat at a table, with Alison hovering over his shoulder. On his other side, the Haim bandmates mouthed along to lyrics that said, "I'm gonna be hungover," while the whole group—all dressed in formal attire—swayed back and forth holding onto glasses of white wine.
And while neither Josh or Alison—who previously dated Normal People actor Éanna Hardwicke—have addressed their budding love story, Josh has fessed up to having past romantic feelings for FKA Twigs when they attended high school together in the U.K.
'I really shouldn't be saying this, but it's hilarious. I was in a band called Orange Output basically to try and get Twigs to go out with me,' he told GQ in 2023. 'I was the lead singer, and one of the lyrics I wrote was 'I'm addicted to crack, motherf--ker.' The closest thing I'd had to crack was Coco Pops.'
But Josh didn't get a response from the musician at the time. As he quipped, 'I don't think she knows who I am.'
