Rachel McAdams is now immortalized on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. At her induction ceremony in January 2026, she was joined by several family members, including her longtime partner Jamie Linden. The couple is raising two children and prefers to keep their relationship private; Rachel has no social media accounts, and Jamie has a private Instagram. Let’s learn more about him and about Rachel’s previous boyfriend.
Jamie grew up in Winter Park, Florida, and attended Lake Howell High School, according to People. After graduating from Florida State University, he moved to Hollywood in 2001 and began his film career as an assistant. In 2006, he sold his first screenplay, which paved the way for him to write the script for the film «We Are Marshall», - starring Matthew McConaughey. He later also wrote scripts for adaptations of Nicholas Sparks' books «Dear John», - «The Lucky One», - and «The Coin Monster» with George Clooney.
Despite being close to the stars, Rachel admitted that she likes that her partner is not an actor. In an interview with The Sunday Times in 2018, she said, «I just wanted to be with someone creative. We live such a gypsy life as actors, so [it's great] to be with someone who can also be on the road».
Rachel and Jamie started dating after they were spotted together in Paris during the premiere of «The Coin Monster» at the Cannes Film Festival in 2016. Observant fans caught the couple embracing while waiting to enter the Louvre Museum.
Rachel once worked at McDonald’s before becoming an Oscar-nominated actress. «It was a great place to work, but I had a little issue with OCD related to washing my hands, and there just wasn’t time», - she recalled in Glamour in 2012. «They would say, 'Hey, the drive-thru line is getting long. Stop washing your hands!' I wasn’t a great employee».
Today, Rachel still has a craving for «Golden Arches». «I love it», - she said on CBS This Morning. «When I was pregnant, I told my partner—when we came out of a movie here in Los Angeles, it was around 11 PM—and I said, 'Take me to the first McDonald’s. I want a Filet-O-Fish and a chocolate milkshake.' And he said, 'Oh, you’re pregnant.'»
Rachel surprised fans when the couple became parents to a boy in April 2018. At the time, she told The Sunday Times that becoming a mother was «the greatest thing that ever happened to me, without a doubt». She added, «I was 39 years old, I was tired of myself, and it was so nice to focus on someone else».
The parents remain protective of their children’s privacy and therefore do not disclose their names. However, the actress once admitted that their son is a true entertainer. «He is so entertaining», - Rachel said during the Heroes of Health: COVID-19 stream. «I thought, 'Would I rather be alone in quarantine or with family?' There are days, of course, but I would be so bored without him to make it so fun».
Secretly, Rachel and Jamie became parents to a girl. Rachel said she «felt like a milking machine» when she started filming «Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret», - as she had given birth just five months prior, according to Bustle. As for the photoshoot for the Bustle interview, Rachel was not afraid to showcase her motherhood. «In this shoot, I’m wearing latex lingerie. But I have two kids. This is my body, and I think it’s so important to reflect that to the world», - she explained.
Rachel has fallen in love with the role of life partner and mother. But before these roles came to her, the actress navigated her personal life with several stars. She is well-known for dating her co-star from «The Notebook», - Ryan Gosling. The couple began dating only after filming their beloved movie and lasted four years. Rachel then briefly dated actor Josh Lucas before having a three-year romance with British actor Michael Sheen, whom she met while filming
