Rachel McAdams and Jamie Linden were seen together in a rare joint sighting for the couple.
On Wednesday, Aug. 20, the Mean Girls star, 46, was spotted exiting LAX Airport alongside her longtime boyfriend Jamie Linden.
The actress appeared to be makeup-free and had styled her hair in natural waves for a casual look as she pulled a suitcase while walking behind Linden, 44. The screenwriter opted for an equally relaxed look, having teamed a checkered shirt with jeans.
Both of his hands were occupied with luggage and he had a rucksack on his back as they disembarked in Los Angeles.

Since McAdams and Linden were first romantically linked in May 2016, they have kept their relationship very private. They haven’t spoken publicly about each other and are rarely photographed together.
The Notebook actress and Dear John screenwriter welcomed their first child, a son, in April 2018, followed by a daughter in 2020. They have yet to reveal the names of their children.
“It’s the greatest thing that’s ever happened to me, hands down,” McAdams said of motherhood in a 2018 interview with The Sunday Times. “[People say] your life is not your own anymore. But I had 39 years of me, I was sick of me, I was so happy to put the focus on some other person. I waited a long time [for motherhood].
“It’s just how it happened. And I didn’t want to do it before it was the right time,” she continued.

Speaking about not sharing her son’s name, she added, per the outlet,“I want to keep his life private, even if mine isn’t. But I’m having more fun being a mum than I’ve ever had.
“Everything about it is interesting and exciting and inspiring to me. Even the tough days — there’s something delightful about them,” McAdams concluded.
The actress was a “very fresh second-time mom” when she starred in Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret in 2023.
She told PEOPLE at the time that she was surprised by how “happy” she felt when she found out the gender of her second child.
“I didn’t know that I was secretly maybe yearning for that gift of getting to raise a girl and also how scary it is to think about raising a girl in this world,” McAdams said. “I think it’s all getting a lot better, and there’s room to grow — that’s why I’m so grateful for this movie.”
