Emma Corrin and Oscar-winning actor Rami Malek should have been a match made in Hollywood heaven. After all, he starred as the frontman of Queen, while Corrin played the People’s Princess.
But The Mail on Sunday can exclusively reveal they have quietly split up after a love affair lasting nearly two years.
Sources say Corrin, 29, who found fame and won a Golden Globe after playing Princess Diana in The Crown, has been separated ‘for some time’ from Malek, 43, who got an Oscar for his turn as Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody.
The news comes less than a year after they reportedly bought a £5million mansion together in Hampstead, north-west London.
It is unclear whether Corrin or Malek, who went on to play Bond villain Lyutsifer Safin in No Time To Die, still live in the palatial house or if they plan to sell it.
The couple were first spotted together at a Bruce Springsteen concert in London in July 2023, just a few months after Malek had broken up with Lucy Boynton, his co-star in the Freddie Mercury biopic.
As their romance developed, they were then seen kissing at a restaurant in Margate, Kent, where Corrin owns a home.

Despite a flurry of red-carpet appearances at A-list events, the pair were notoriously private about their relationship, and refrained from commenting on each other’s social media.
In a magazine interview last May, Corrin even declined to speak about their relationship.
Malek was equally vague, describing Corrin as ‘fascinating’ and once revealing that Corrin cooked him a surprise Thanksgiving dinner, ‘trimmings and all’, that ‘blew him away’.
Corrin – who came out as queer in 2021 and identifies as non-binary, using the pronouns they/them – said the ‘vitriol’ targeted at their gender idenтιтy was ‘worse than I anticipated’, adding: ‘Even though we like to think we’re in a progressive society, a lot of what we’re seeing is increasingly a step back.’
For now, Corrin will be keeping busy filming the Netflix adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride And Prejudice, having been cast as heroine Elizabeth Bennet, opposite Slow Horses actor Jack Lowden, who will play Mr Darcy.
‘Playing Elizabeth Bennet is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,’ Corrin said last week.
