Rachel McAdams and her longtime partner, Jamie Linden, have been in a committed relationship since 2016, sharing two children—a son and a daughter. Their bond runs deep, with McAdams referring to Linden as her “north star” during her Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in January 2026. In her heartfelt speech, she expressed her gratitude to Linden and her sister, stating, “Thank you for being such a great team and keeping me quasi-normal. I love you all so much.”
The couple first made headlines when they were spotted together in Paris shortly before Linden’s appearance at the Cannes Film Festival in 2016, and since then, they have maintained a low-profile relationship. They rarely take the spotlight, with few public appearances together. Notably, they were seen enjoying a cozy date night in New York City in 2024 and later departed from a Los Angeles airport together in August 2025.
Jamie Linden, a Florida native and graduate of Florida State University, is an accomplished screenwriter and filmmaker. He rose to prominence in Hollywood with his screenplay for the film “We Are Marshall,” which tells the story of a college football team. Linden has also written for the adaptation of Nicholas Sparks’ “Dear John” and directed the film “10 Years,” both featuring Channing Tatum. His career began with early experiences in Hollywood as an assistant and contestant on “The Price Is Right,” where he won $5,000, leading him to pursue a career in screenwriting.
Despite their fame, McAdams and Linden have opted to keep their children’s lives shielded from the public eye, a decision McAdams emphasizes, stating that she wishes to protect their privacy. The couple has managed to cultivate a relationship founded on mutual respect and a shared commitment to family, reinforcing their strong bond over the years.
As they continue to navigate their private lives away from the limelight, McAdams and Linden exemplify a supportive partnership, allowing each other to flourish in their respective careers while cherishing their family life. Their relationship remains a testament to love and collaboration, unencumbered by public scrutiny.
