In January, the two were captured on a casual stroll around London with their arms intertwined while holding hands.
The pair first sparked dating rumors in August 2024, when the Daily Mail obtained photos of them getting close at Mitski's performance at the All Points East festival in London. The next month, Dunn posted a photo of a friend wearing a hat that said 'Nicola Coughlan' on it, along with a shirt that read "and her perfect breasts." The outfit was a reference to a June 2024 clip of Coughlan saying "women with my body type" are "women with perfect breasts."
Coughlan and Dunn were later spotted leaving a date at an Irish pub in October.
Before becoming a couple, Coughlan attended the March 2024 premiere of Dunn's show Renegade Nell. They didn't walk the carpet together, but one of Dunn's costars, Alice Kremelberg, later shared a throwback snap from the premiere that showed the Disney actor's arm around Coughlan.

'A lot of people really want me to marry Luke,' she told the outlet at the time. 'We have this gorgeous friendship. We have such a love for one another and this experience that I'll never have with someone else again. Isn't it gorgeous that a man and woman can have that sort of relationship with one another?'
