Hayley Atwell was spotted enjoying a stroll with fiancé Ned Wolfgang Kelly through London’s Soho on Friday.
The Mission Impossible actress, 41, cut a casual figure on the outing in a blue cotton shirt which she teamed with alabaster combat trousers.
Meanwhile producer Ned, who popped the question in April after a whirlwind romance, opted for a leather over shirt and white vest as he teased a glimpse of his tattooed torso.
Hayley later joined fellow stars including her Mission Impossible 7 co-star Simon Pegg and Succession’s Brian Cox on the picket line in support for the SAG-AFTRA strike in the US.
Also in attendance were the likes of heavyweight talents Imelda Staunton, Jim Carter, Bridgerton’s Golda Rosheuvel, Naomie Harris, Andy Serkis and David Oyelowo.

While actors on Equity contracts can still work, they showed support for the SAG-AFTRA actors calling for higher wages and protections against artificial intelligence.
At the Equity rally, Brian was seen speaking to the crowds and told how he believes AI is a ‘very serious’ thing and admitted actors are ‘vulnerable’ to the technology.
‘We’re here essentially, initially to support the writers,’ Brian – who plays Logan Roy on Succession – said.
‘But of course, other things have come into play because we’re also doing our own negotiations, but our own negotiations pale in relationship to AI, because AI is a really, really very serious thing and that’s the thing where we’re most vulnerable.’
Hayley, was first linked to Ned in July last year, shortly after she was said to have split from co-star Tom Cruise for the second time.
Ned announced their engagement on Instagram in April, revealing he popped the question during a romantic getaway in Venice.
He gushed: ‘Lucky me. Arrived in Venice at 10am, around midday the love of my life and I got engaged in the kitchen of this strange apartment surrounded by ducks, with a bloke outside the window murdering “My Way” on the accordion.
‘A perfect start to the rest of our lives together. I’d never had any interest in getting married… until I met this extraordinary woman. Happy as a clam.’

A source said: ‘Unfortunately it hasn’t worked out for them. They have now decided they are better as friends.’
The insider also revealed that the fanfare around the couple after going public was too much to handle.
‘They get on really well, and have fantastic chemistry, which is why they decided to quietly give the relationship another try earlier this year.
‘What was working behind closed doors didn’t work out so well when it was made public, and the fanfare around them as a couple exploded again,’ the source stated.
The source also insisted that the couple’s romance was ‘genuine’, stating ‘In spite of some rumours to the contrary, it was never just for the cameras.’
