The pair met while filming upcoming BBC comedy series Film Club but Adam is best known for telly drama Happy Valley.
Stockport-born Aimee previously dated Connor Swindells, 28 — her co-star on Netflix comedy series Sex Education — but they split in 2020.
An onlooker who spotted her with Adam in South London said: 'They looked smitten with one another.
'They were hugging and kissing and she kept draping her arm around his neck while his hand was on her knee.
'They looked very comfy together — a vision of love's young dream.'
Aimee's romance follows rumours of a row with her White Lotus co-star Walton Goggins after claims they had unfollowed each other on Instagram.
The pair, who play lovers Chelsea and Rick in the HBO series, appeared on the cover of Variety magazine last week to put the rumours to bed.
Walton, 53, said: ' There is no feud.
"I adore, I love this woman madly.
"She's special. She can do anything.'
Aimee added: 'We don't give a sh*te about Instagram.
"It's such a comment on where we're at culturally.'

Biddy Baxter was warm, funny and inspirational
Despite her reputation as a formidable, sometimes controlling, editor of Blue Peter, when I met Biddy Baxter (Obituary, 11 August) she exuded nothing but warmth and fun, entertaining us immensely with all her anecdotes. The occasion was a long, leisurely lunch in 2008, along with her original producers. This was to celebrate the awarding of a coveted gold Blue Peter badge to my then husband for a scientific breakthrough, which coincided with the inclusion of an aspirational childhood letter of his in a book marking Blue Peter's 50th anniversary. Biddy's encouraging response to it, he wrote to her, helped put him firmly on the path to becoming a LamontSt Leonards-on-Sea, East Sussex Was the Biddy Baxter obituary one you 'prepared earlier'?John HinklyLittle Chalfont, Buckinghamshire Have an opinion on anything you've read in the Guardian today?

France demanded Rosetta Stone and free tickets for its citizens in exchange for Bayeux Tapestry being displayed at the British Museum
When France finally agreed to loan Britain the Bayeux Tapestry, many thought centuries of intense Anglo-French rivalry had finally been put to one side. But the demands tabled by Paris officials to return the historic artifact to England after more than 900 years risked reigniting tensions. French president Emmanuel Macron last month announced that the iconic depiction of the 1066 Norman Conquest and the Battle of Hastings would be loaned to the British Museum next year. He originally floated the idea at a summit with former prime minister Theresa May in 2018 but it was met with fierce pushback from French cultural officials. Discussions only restarted earlier this year but both sides were still at odds over the conditions to loan Britain the 70-metre-long work, according to the Finanical Times. France first looked at swapping the Rosetta Stone for the multicoloured wool embroidery and asked for its citizens to be allowed to see the tapestry for free at the British Museum, those briefed on the talks claimed. UK culture minister Sir Chris Bryant met French culture minister Rachida Dati in Cannes in May where she made it clear that while France was prepared to loan the tapestry, it wanted treasures previously unseen in their country to go the other way. 'It felt a bit like they were googling all the most famous things in the British Museum,' one British official told the Financial Times. 'They were originally thinking of the Rosetta Stone. That was complicated by the fact that the French found it and we took it off them.' The Rosetta Stone is the most visited object in the British Musuem and was initially found by Napoleon's soldiers in 1799 before it was taken by Britain in 1801 following his defeat. Ms Dati then proposed exchanging the tapestry with the Sutton Hoo treasures which were discovered as part of a seventh century Anglo-Saxon ship burial in Suffolk in 1939. The British Museum also offered the Lewis Chessmen, medieval chess pieces discovered in 1831 on the Isle of Lewis, to museums in France with other artifacts from Wales and Northern Ireland to be added. While talks progressed in complete secrecy with the aim of reaching an agreement before Mr Macron's state visit to the UK in July, there was another sticking point. French officials were determined to get free admission for French citizens to see the Bayeux Tapestry. 'That was never going to happen,' another UK official said. 'It was a try-on.' Both sides later agreed to get as many kids in to see the historic artifect as possible. But Paris also allegedly wanted the UK to pay for both moving the tapestry from Bayeux to London and for shipping its goods to museums in Normandy. 'That was also a non-starter,' a British source familiar with the talks added. Transporting the tapestry to the UK is expected to cost millions of euros and is likely set to be moved by truck to avoid any damage. When it finally arrives at the British Museum it won't be hung over fears it will crease, stretch or tear but will instead be displayed lying on long inclined tables. The 70-metre-long work depicts the battle which saw William The Conqueror take the English throne from Harold Godwinson and become the first Norman king of England. It is widely accepted to have been made in England during the 11th century and was likely to have been commissioned by Bishop Odo Of Bayeux. The artwork has been on display in various locations across France during its history, and in 1983 was moved to the Bayeux Museum in Normandy where it attracts 400,000 visitors per year. It is expected to generate huge interest when it goes on display at the British Museum in September 2026 with hopes it could eclipse the 1.7 million visitors who went to see the Treasures of Tutankhamun exhibition of 1972.
