She is also famous for starring in The Baby-Sitters Club and Josie and the Pussycats.
Meanwhile, Brandon, who is also 45, shot to fame when he portrayed the iconic superhero Superman in the 2006 film Superman Returns.
Brandon also starred in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Legends of Tomorrow and Arrow.
The two stars enjoyed a low-key outing together in LA as they headed to a weekend movie screening on Friday night.
Rachael and Brandon were seen holding hands as they stopped by the crowded venue.
SMITTEN DISPLAY
At one point in the evening, Brandon's arm was seen affectionately around Rachael as they walked around in public,
Love was clearly in the air as the couple shared sweet smiles and cozy moments on their outing.
Another adorable moment saw Rachael sweetly rest her hand on Brandon's back.
The actress was previously married Daniel Gillies, whom she wed in 2004, but their romance was not to last.
'We got engaged after dating for maybe five months and we got married a couple of months after that,' she told People Magazine in a previous interview.
They then separated in June 2019 and their divorce was finalized in 2021.
A year later, in October 2022, Rachael opened up about her split from Daniel.
'HAPPILY DIVORCED'
She gushed that she was "happily divorced" at the time.
Rachael also said of her ex, "We still share Halloween. We go out walking around together and my kids like my boyfriend [Kevin Mann] a lot and we're slowly just navigating what that looks like and it's tough.
"It's tough and it's certainly relatable to so many families out there,' she told Us Weekly at the time.
She added, "So I hope that this is a nice touchpoint for kids who have a new step-sibling. Maybe take a little bit of a cue from that."
Rachael and her ex-husband Daniel share two children from their marriage.
They are parents to a daughter named Charlotte, born in 2013, and a son named Theodore, born in 2015.
Rachael had been in a relationship with Kevin before she got with Brandon.
She and Kevin went Instagram official in 2021.
But according to several reports, the relationship ended "a few years later".

Britney Spears reveals how she sounds without autotune as she sings along to Otis Redding while dancing erratically in latest kooky clip
Britney Spears displayed her vocal abilities as she belted out a rendition of Otis Redding's (Sittin' On) the Dock of the Bay. The singer, 43, is famed for using autotune on her catologue of hits, but kept the audio of her latest Instagram post unedited as she filmed herself singing. Britney was clad in a semi-sheer nude dress as she danced erratically while singing the Sixties hit. She captioned the clip: 'His soul makes me believe in GOD AGAIN !!! God knows I can't sing like him !!! I wish !!!' Later on Tuesday, the Toxic hitmaker filmed herself spinning around while flashing her bottom in another sheer gown. Britney is fond of sharing various dancing videos online but recently caused confusion when she took to Instagram to claim she had adopted a baby. Last month, she announced that she had 'adopted a beautiful baby girl' named Lennon London Spears, which turned out to be a joke. An insider told Daily Mail she was simply 'trying to be funny' and garner a reaction. 'Britney was just having fun when she announced that she would be adopting a girl,' our source confirmed. 'She did it for a laugh, she isn't adopting a daughter, and it also doesn't mean anything else like her getting a dog. She was just trying to be funny and see who would bite.' Britney shares sons Sean Preston, 19, and Jayden, 18, with Kevin Federline, but the family have a famously fractious relationship. The hitmaker is reportedly working on her relationship with her Jayden, with whom she has recently reunited. 'Jayden is her rock right now and if there was ever anything that broke this bond Britney would be crushed,' the insider said. 'He is all she talks about. She is helping his career and providing for him financially. He is living large now.' In the past, Jayden, has admitted to being embarrassed by his mother's social media posts. 'It's like almost as if she has to put something on Instagram to get attention,' he told ITV in 2022. 'This has gone on for years and years and years, and there's a high chance that this is never going to really stop, but I'm hoping for me, maybe she will.' Britney has been largely estranged from her sons who moved to Hawaii with their father in 2023. Following their divorce in 2007 – and a highly-publicized mental breakdown that led to Britney being placed under a 13-year conservatorship by her father Jamie Spears – Kevin was granted sole custody of the two boys in 2008. Over 17 years, she paid more than an estimated $5 million in child support, but those monthly payments came to an end last September when Jayden turned 18. Two months later, it was reported that Jayden was 'back in California' where Briney lives, though it was unclear if he was staying at her $7.4 million estate in Thousand Oaks.
