Helena Bonham Carter headed out for a pub lunch with boyfriend Rye Dag Holmboe and her son Billy in Hampstead on Monday.

The actress, 58, wrapped up warm in a khaki padded coat as they walked to The Wells Tavern and tucked into a burger.

Helena’s 21-year-old son Billy clutched onto the dog lead while Rye, 36, held onto the other pooch.

The Crown star has been in a relationship with the art historian for six years following her split from film director Tim Burton in 2014.

Helena, who shares son Billy and daughter Nell, 17, with Tim, looked more than loved-up with her lover.

Their family outing comes after Helena sparked engagement rumours with Rye as she showed off a dazzling diamond ring on a walk in August.

However, speaking to the Daily Mail in March 2022, Helena said that she was in no hurry to exchange vows, pointing out: ‘I wasn’t married the first time.’  

The couple met at a wedding in 2018, four years after Helena split from Tim.

Explaining how they met, she told The Guardian: ‘A totally random thing, which both of us nearly didn’t go to, so it was one of those moments that was so chance and ended up determining so much. 

‘A really happy accident, and it’s an amazing thing.’

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.’

The outing after Helena gave a rare insight into her split from ex Tim, 66, six years after they announced they went their separate ways. 

The Crown actress hinted while she was ‘reluctant’ to end their relationship, she added: ‘Some are parts of divorce are recommended.’

During the interview with the Guardian in November 2021, she admitted it has taken a while for her family to ‘adjust’ and said that things were ‘really very good now’.

Detailing her experience, Helena revealed: ‘The cruelty of divorce is extraordinary. But then you get to a point where you’re like, “Oh, I get this week off!” Some parts are very much to be recommended.

Helena also revealed that she believes The Crown’s creator, Peter Morgan, asked her to play Princess Margaret because she was able to relate to her very public break-up.

While Helena insisted she wasn’t able to reveal why she and Tim went their separate ways, she did say: ‘I didn’t leave, put it that way’.
