Acting power couple Keeley Hawes and Matthew Macfadyen made a rare public appearance together at this year’s Chelsea Flower Show.

Bodyguard and Line Of Duty star Keeley, 47, and Succession actor Macfadyen, 48, looked smart as they posed together at the annual botanical event.

The Durrells actor Keeley could be seen in a fitting white floral dress, while Pride & Prejudice’s Matthew paired a tan corduroy blazer with matching chinos.

The couple attended the event alongside a slew of stars, including Catherine, Princess of Wales, Billie Piper, Gemma Collins, Dominic West, and Catherine Fitzgerald.

Keeley and Matthew began a relationship in 2002 after starring alongside each other in British spy drama Spooks.

The pair went on to tie the knot in 2004 and they have two children, Maggie, born in the same year as they wed, and Ralph, who followed in 2006.

Matthew is also the stepfather to Keeley’s son Myle, whom she shares with ex-husband Spencer McCallum.

The pair star alongside each other in the drama Stonehouse, telling the story of disgraced British politician John Stonehouse, with Matthew taking on the titular role while Keeley appears as his onscreen wife, Barbara Stonehouse.

Keeley and Matthew recently opened up on what it was like to work together, with the former saying people were ‘tickled’ by the idea.

Matthew continued: ‘We got to see each other, which is really nice. So often we’re sort of scattered in different countries. But the idea of going to work together was just great. We even took the dog.’

‘These characters and these real people that we were playing are so different from us in every way and from our marriage and our relationship,’ Keeley added while speaking to Town and Country.

‘But the writing was brilliant and we got to hang out and stay together.’

Kelley also spoke about the pair’s time on set together while appearing on Lorraine, as well as saying her husband looked ‘totally different’ while in character.

‘It’s a real physical transformation, so it was sort of easier than I thought. If he looked like himself it might have been more difficult in a way or if it was a modern piece,’ she said.

Going into further detail about how Matthew looks in the role of Stonehouse, Keeley outlined that his ‘eye colour’s different’ and he’s wearing fake teeth, facial hair and wigs.
