Helena Bonham Carter and Rye Dag Holmboe have remained close since they were first romantically linked in October 2018.
The actress and her “old-soul” partner appeared to be enjoying domestic bliss on Tuesday as they took their dogs for a romantic walk through Hampstead, north London.
For the outing, the 60-year-old star displayed her distinctive fashion sense in a grey blouse and red trousers finished with lace-trimmed hems.
She added a pink jumper tied around her waist and perched two pairs of glasses on top of her head.
Rye, meanwhile, wore a blue shirt with matching trousers, completing his look with a green jumper draped around his neck.
Despite their apparent happiness, the Sweeney Todd star has previously said she does not plan to marry, explaining that she could not make what she considers an “unhealthy” promise to remain with someone forever.

The couple have been inseparable since they were first linked in October 2018
Speaking about her relationship with Rye in December, Helena said: “I mean, we’re not meant to be forever.”
She continued: “And I’ve never actually gotten married because I can’t say those words. I can’t honestly make that promise because I just don’t think it’s a healthy one.”
The couple first met at a wedding that both had nearly decided not to attend.
Recalling their meeting to The Guardian, Helena described it as “a totally random thing, which both of us nearly didn’t go to,” adding that it was a chance encounter that went on to shape so much of their lives.
“A really happy accident, and it’s an amazing thing,” she said. “I can’t say much about Rye, because he’s a psychoanalyst, so he needs his anonymity.”
The pair made their relationship public the following year, five years after Helena ended her long-term relationship with director Tim Burton, 68.
The actress previously acknowledged that she was ready to find love again after realising she had grown “bored” of mourning the end of her former relationship.
She told Harper’s Bazaar: “You break up, you grieve, you get bored of grieving. And then you finally move on.”

Speaking of Rye, she added: ‘I’m very happy with someone else. It’s been a bit of unexpected magic in my life.’
Addressing the couple’s 21-year age gap, the actress previously said in an interview with The Times: ‘Everybody ages at a different rate. My boyfriend is unbelievably mature. He’s an old soul in a young body, what more could I want?
‘People are slightly frightened of older women, but he isn’t. Women can be very powerful when they’re older.’
She added: ‘There are people I’ve been involved with who aren’t necessarily their age, maturity wise, whereas [Rye] is ageless.’
The actress split from her long-term partner, director Tim, in 2014. The pair have two children, Billy, 23, and Nell, 18.
