Rami Malek has recently opened up about his relationship with Emma Corrin, providing fans with rare insights during his interview with The Guardian on January 18, 2024. The Oscar-winning actor, who is known for his roles as Freddie Mercury and in Oppenheimer, has been dating the nonbinary actor since 2023. Their romance quietly blossomed, beginning with sightings at public events, and has remained primarily under wraps.
Malek, 43, revealed how he and 29-year-old Corrin often share time together, particularly at his home away from the spotlight. Despite not celebrating Thanksgiving, Corrin surprised Malek with a traditional dinner, showcasing their affectionate bond. Throughout the interview, Malek affectionately referred to Corrin as "Em," often avoiding overt discussions about their personal life. When The Guardian described Corrin as "smart and quirky," Malek responded with enthusiasm, saying, "We like quirky."
The couple first sparked rumors of their relationship when they were spotted together at Bruce Springsteen's concert back in June 2023. Following this, the two were seen dining together later, solidifying their public connection. Even so, Malek and Corrin have chosen to keep their relationship relatively private, venturing out together at events like the EE BAFTA Film Awards Dinner.
Malek shared with The Guardian their shared interests, including their recent movie night where they watched the classic film Dr. Strangelove. He highlighted his admiration for Corrin, describing them as “fascinating,” and spoke about how their connection has deepened over time. The couple often enjoys spending time at their Margate home, balancing life under the radar with their demanding careers.
Before Corrin, Malek was linked to actress Lucy Boynton between 2018 and 2022, marking another chapter of his life away from the limelight. Although the couple never officially confirmed their split, Malek has maintained his characteristic openness about his feelings toward his relationships without delving too deep. His connection with Corrin has rekindled discussions about gender identity and the importance of self-expression and authenticity.
Corrin, who came out as queer and nonbinary at the start of 2021, has faced their own struggles with public perception and societal expectations. They have been vocal about their experiences, including the backlash aimed at their identity. “The vitriol is worse than I anticipated… People follow me for roles they’ve seen me play, but then they see who I really am, and it’s controversial. Why? Who are you hurting by being yourself?” Corrin stated during their interview with Harper’s Bazaar.
Despite the challenges, Corrin continues to forge their path, sharing, “We’re so used to defining ourselves within binaries, but I’ve realized I exist somewhere in between, and I’m still figuring it out.” This spirit resonates within their relationship with Malek, who supports Corrin's exploration of identity.
Looking forward, Malek has exciting projects on the horizon. He is set to return to the screen with The Amateur—a spy revenge-thriller releasing in 2025. Meanwhile, Corrin continues to rise as well, portraying the villain Cecilia Nova in the highly anticipated 2024 film Deadpool & Wolverine.
While both stars navigate their public and private lives, they embody the essence of being genuine and supportive partners. It’s becoming increasingly evident with their heartfelt interactions, highlighting a relationship built on mutual respect and admiration, bolstered by each other’s unique perspectives and experiences.
Their love story, though intimate, serves as inspiration, encouraging others to embrace authenticity and stand against societal norms. With both Malek and Corrin dedicated to their crafts and personal growth, their relationship appears to be another beautiful chapter of discovery both on and off-screen.
