Stephen Merchant looked happier than ever as he stepped out with girlfriend Mircea Monroe in London on Friday.
The 6ft 7in actor, 50, wrapped up in a blue winter hat, red scarf and a padded navy coat as he walked hand-in-hand with Mircea, who is 5ft 5in.
The Office writer kept comfortable in a pair of black Nike trainers, blue skinny jeans and wore a pair of glasses.
Meanwhile Mircea looked stylish in a long grey wool coat which she teamed with a winter hat, scarf and gloves.
The actress, 42, was all smiles as she toted her belongings around in a large black crossbody handbag and rocked a pair of white trainers.
Stephen and Mircea, who have been together since 2018, couldn’t contain their smiles as they held hands walking around the city.

The couple live in a £2.4million mansion once owned by former US talk show host Ellen DeGeneres.
Stephen and Mircea met at an awards ceremony six years ago but Stephen previously revealed that he had had trouble finding a girlfriend because of his height.
He told Alan Carr: ‘If they’re down there and I’m up here, it’s a bit tricky.
But by 2019, Stephen admitted it was great to not have to worry about ‘filling’ such a void in life after he had met the St Louis native.
He said: ‘Aside from the fact that she’s great… there’s something very pleasing about not having the endless concern about filling that part of your life.
‘That’s a very lonely life, the life of a single person’.
Stephen has now officially out-performed the legendary comedians as he rocketed past their staggering fortunes, according to The Sun – topping Ricky Gervais and Peter Kay.
He now holds a whopping £26.6million fortune, thanks to his recent TV stint in the BBC comedy drama The Outlaws.

Ricky sits on a staggering £24.4million, while Peter has a hefty £22.6million to his name.
According to new paperwork, it was revealed that Stephen owns a number of TV production companies, with his primary business, SJJM Ltd, holding £25,146,362 in assets alone.
While some prefer fame over fortune, Stephen recently admitted he would like to turn back the clock and become an unknown again.
He said: ‘The unique thing about The Office was that no one knew who we were, so there were no expectations.
‘You’re not thinking about the papers or about the audience. You’re just thinking, ‘This is fun, let’s get it made’. It’s hard to get back to that moment.’
‘I think the size of his bank balance will rather soften the blow.’
