Dev Patel and Tilda Cobham-Hervey Make Their Red Carpet Debut as a Couple at Monkey Man Premiere

Dev Patel and Tilda Cobham-Hervey are beaming as they make their official red carpet debut!

The longtime partners appeared smitten with each other as they held hands at the premiere of Patel's new film Monkey Man on April 3.

Patel, 33, wore a grey suit for the occasion while Cobham-Hervey, 29, opted for a brown, floral-print dress with a train and lace detailing on the sleeves.

Per Elle Australia, the Australian actress and British actor met in June 2016 when she replaced Teresa Palmer in his film Hotel Mumbai, which was filmed in Cobham-Hervey's hometown of Adelaide, Australia.

They reportedly bonded off-screen when the I Am Woman actress took the Slumdog Millionaire star on tours of the city when they weren't working.

Although the couple attended a Toronto Film Festival party together in September 2018, they didn't pose for photos together — nor did they pose as a couple at the 2018 premiere of Hotel Mumbai.

In Monkey Man, Patel stars as an anonymous man who "unleashes a campaign of vengeance against the corrupt leaders who murdered his mother and continue to systemically victimize the poor and powerless," according to its log line.

The actor co-wrote the film, which also marks his directorial debut.

Monkey Man is out in theaters April 5.
