Rachel McAdams has had some highly publicized romances over the years, on and off the screen, but their current relationship with scriptwriter Jamie Linden is one of their more private to date. The couple sparked rumors of romance when they were spotted together in the Spring of 2016, and have pretty much kept their romance out of the spotlight ever since. They never have walked the red carpet together and have only made a handful of public appearances, including a friend’s wedding in 2016. In April 2018, they took their relationship to the next level by welcoming a baby.
Despite the fact that Rachel did not publicly discuss his relationship with Jamie, she opened up about her son on a couple of occasions. “It is the best thing that ever happened to me, hands down,” he said The Sunday Times about to become a mom in 2018. “[People say] your life is not your own any more, but I had 39 years of me, I was sick of me, I was so happy to put the focus on another person. I waited a long time [for motherhood]. It is the way in which it happened. And I don’t want to do this before that this was the right time.” She added that she hopes to protect her son from the centre of attention as he grows. “I want to keep his life private, even if mine is not,” she said. “But I’m having more fun being a mom than I’ve ever had. It’s all very interesting and exciting and inspiring for me. Even the hard days — there is something charming about them.”
Even so, she still brings him along for fun adventures. During a recent interview with Entertainment Tonightshe revealed that she brought her son with her when she filmed Netflix is Eurovision Song contest: The Story of the Fire of the Saga in Iceland and Scotland. “He had almost two years . . . but I want to say, be able to take it to Iceland, that I’m never going to remember any of that, but I feel somehow that could stick to your soul and your personality a little, so it was great for travel. And you know, we’ve been embraced by so much time together that it was wonderful to go out into the world and begin to work at the same time. I felt very fortunate to be able to do that.”
