The actor who played Dr. Watson in the iconic Sherlock Holmes series has proven to be less of a one-woman man off-screen than his character. Martin Freeman was in a long-term relationship with British actress Amanda Abbington for 16 years, but in 2016, the couple announced their split.
Despite years together and two children, the pair couldn’t make it work. Amanda has since married her longtime friend, Jonathan Goodwin. Meanwhile, Martin has recently introduced a new love interest, which is sure to surprise his former partner.
Martin is now dating French actress Rachel Mariam, a striking beauty who has yet to achieve the fame of Martin’s career. Sources say the couple has been together for almost four years. Initially, Martin was hesitant to go public with the relationship due to their 21-year age gap, worried about how fans would react. However, their affectionate public moments have won over many admirers.
The couple now lives together in London, where Rachel is pursuing work in television and exploring opportunities as a producer. She is also known for her impeccable fashion sense, with social media followers admiring her effortlessly chic style as she shares her looks on her blog.
