Lily Collins and director beau Charlie McDowell sport protective face masks as they enjoy a walk with their pet pooch Redford amid lockdown

They confirmed their budding relationship in August last year, putting an end to months of speculation.

And Lily Collins and her director boyfriend Charlie McDowell enjoyed some quality time together as they embarked on a refreshing walk with their pet pooch Redford in Beverly Hills on Monday afternoon.

The Les Misérables star, 31, and the filmmaker, 36, proved safety comes first as they sported protective face masks amid California’s COVID-19 lockdown.

The actress looked typically chic as she paired a flowy, floral print maxi-dress with a denim jacket.

Opting for comfort in the footwear department, the screen star donned white slip-on trainers, while accessorising with her favourite circular-framed shades. 

LA native Charlie cut an equally casual figure as he was dressed in a plain black T-shirt, brown trousers and a black baseball cap as he held onto Redford’s lead.

Late last year, the pair took their relationship to the next level as they adopted their rescue dog.  

Lily is the latest in a long line of A-List partners for Charlie, who directed The One I Love and The Discovery. 

The LA-born filmmaker has dated several high-profile actresses, including Emilia Clarke, 33, Hilary Duff, 32, and Rooney Mara, 34.

Charlie was in a relationship with Hilary for three months between September and December 2007. 

The director then had a serious romance with Rooney for over six years from 2010, which came to an end in September 2016. 

Charlie and Game Of Thrones star Emilia confirmed they were dating in October 2018, but the relationship fizzled out.

Lily has also had her fair share of headline-grabbing relationships, including a brief romance with her Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vile co-star Zac Efron, 32, in 2012.

The brunette had an on/off romance with British actor Jamie Campbell Bower, 31, for five years after meeting on the set of The Mortal Instruments, but the pair called it quits for good in 2018.

Lily and Charlie both have famous parents in common; Lily’s dad is British musician Phil Collins, while Charlie is the son of actor Malcolm McDowell and actress Mary Steenburgen.
