How did Martin and Rachel meet?
Martin and Rachel haven’t disclosed exactly how they met, but their romance was first revealed in November 2020.
Rachel, who is from Toulouse, France, posted a picture of her and Martin attending a private screening of the Sky Arts doc Long Hot Summers, ultimately confirming their relationship.
How long have Martin and Rachel been together?
The couple are believed to have been dating for around two years, having gone public with their romance in 2020.
Rachel moved to London in 2018 to pursue a career in acting and writing, and it appears she met the 50 year old actor not long after.
In October 2021, they made their red carpet debut at Raindance Film Festival at the Dorchester Hotel in London.

They’ve since attended a handful of events together, but largely keep their relationship out of the public eye and neither are active social media users.
In April, it was reported that Rachel and Martin had headed to her hometown of Toulouse, sparking rumours of an engagement.
Do they have children?
Rachel and Martin do not have children together, but Martin shares two children with his former partner Amanda Abbington.
He and actress Amanda, 48, are parents to Joe, 15, and Grace, 13.
They met while filming Sherlock, with Amanda portraying Martin’s on-screen wife. Martin and Amanda were in a relationship for around 16 years, until they called it quits in 2016.

The former couple have called their split “amicable” and appear to still be good friends.
Speaking about their split, Amanda told Red Magazine: “We still love each other – even if we’re not in love with each other – and neither of us sees our relationship as a failure.
“We had 16 great years together and have two fantastic kids. We still talk and we still give each other advice.”
Martin also opened up about the split, and told The Financial Times: “I’m not with Amanda anymore. It’s very, very amicable — I’ll always love Amanda.”
