Amanda – who split from husband Martin Freeman five years ago – shared her first picture with Jonathan on Monday, posting a throwback from a recent romantic getaway that she captioned: ‘When in Vienna, you hang out at the graveyards. What of it.’
Her post came after Jonathan shared his first picture of the pair earlier in the month, penning: ‘That was possibly the longest game of hide and seek ever….❤️’
Amanda then commented: ‘I love you. ❤️’
The Safe actress also confirmed her romance to The Daily Mail’s Richard Eden, gushing: ‘Jonathan sets fire to himself and catches bullets for a living, but is also grown up, sensitive, and considerate. I’m completely besotted.’
MailOnline has contacted Amanda and Jonathan’s representatives for comment.

The rumours come just nine months after Amanda revealed she had split from The Queen’s Gambit actor Jonjo O’Neill after four years.
The TV star started dating Irishman Jonjo, 42, after she split from actor Martin, 50, in 2016 after 16 years together.
Amanda, known for playing Mary Morstan in Sherlock, and Jonjo took the step of moving in together in her Hertfordshire home during the pandemic last year.
The actress announced the split to fans on her Instagram Live, saying: ‘Sadly no Irishman anymore. He’s gone… it’s fine, it’s just one of those things.’

The mother-of-two hinted at her heartbreak by saying she was, ‘very sad for personal reasons’ and admitting she was struggling with lockdown because she was ‘on my own in the house’, The Sun reports.
She added: ‘At the moment I’m quite fragile… I’m a fragile girl at the moment.’
Amanda also joked that she had joined a dating app in a bid to combat her loneliness.
She wrote: ‘I go on Tinder. No, I’ve never been on Tinder, nor would I, that was a joke. Being on your own, certainly, you build your strength up and you get a sense of perspective.’
Case of the ex: The rumours come just nine months after Amanda revealed she had split from The Queen’s Gambit actor Jonjo O’Neill after four years (pictured in September 2019)
Amanda and Jonjo first began dating in November 2016 – nine months after she secretly split from The Office star Martin.
The actress recently discussed her break up from Martin as she expressed fears that they had given their two children ‘irreparable damage’ after their split.
The couple share son Joe, 15, and daughter Grace, 12.
Talking to fans in April during an Instagram live for the It’s Ok mental health campaign, which she is an ambassador of, Amanda admitted it is ‘unsettling’ if she pretends to be a Stepford Wife parent and doesn’t want to ‘hide’ anything from her children.
Amanda said during the video, which was broadcast to 49.1K followers: ‘I think it’s unsettling if I pretend I’m this Stepford Wife parent.
‘Nobody is. I’m sure I’ve given them irreparable damage and they will be going to therapy because of me and Martin at some point.’

She continued: ‘If I can teach them to talk about it, say there’s nothing to be frightened of or ashamed of with whatever you’re going through.
‘Whether you get drunk or try drugs, whatever you do — this place where we live is a safe place where you can say whatever you like.
‘That’s what I am striving for and what Martin strives for as well — to create a place where they’re not hiding anything.’
Amanda added that it is important to discuss mental health with her children and for them to know that some days are ‘hard’ for her so it’s not a ‘dirty secret’.
She said: ‘To hide this from my children, that sometimes I get depressed or if I’m on antidepressants, what are you saying about all these mental health issues? Are you saying they’re offensive and shouldn’t happen? I don’t want that.’
