Emily Atack makes rare public appearance with boyfriend on child-free night out
Emily Atack is typically private when it comes to her love life, but the actress has now made an ultra-rare red carpet appearance with her other half.
The Inbetweeners alum, 35, is dating Dr Alistair Garner, who is a materials scientist specialising in aerospace and nuclear applications.
In June last year, the couple welcomed their first child, a baby boy named Barney James.
Stepping out this weekend for some child-free time, Emily and Alistair were photographed at England’s Six Nations tie with Scotland.
On Saturday, the loved-up pair joined the likes of Masked Singer host Joel Dommett and Doctor Who actress Billie Piper, who were also among guests at a pre-match event.
Emily and Alistair later watched all the pitch action unfold from a private box at Twickenham.
Arriving at the bash, which was held to celebrate IHG being the Official Hotel Partner of the Guinness Men’s Six Nations, Rivals star Emily sported a quirky zebra print blouse, which she paired with baggy denim jeans.
She added a pair of heels to her trendy ensemble and wore her signature blonde locks in a straight style.
The TV personality cosied up to her baby daddy as they had their pictures taken, with Alistair also cutting a dapper figure in a navy trousers and beige pullover combo.
Emily and Alistair couldn’t have looked more smitten with one another, as he placed a protective hand around her waist.
The two actually go way back, having known one another for almost 30 years, given that Alistair’s stepmother is Emily’s mother’s sister.
Most recently, she shared a slew of personal photos on Instagram to mark his birthday, declaring him ‘the love of [her] life’ in the caption.
Her post included sweet snaps from romantic staycations, kissing selfies, and a picture of Alistair cuddling up to Emily’s baby bump before she gave birth.
Following the arrival of little Barney, Emily announced the news with an Instagram post, writing: ‘All my dreams have come true’.
She was inundated with congratulatory messages from people such as Holly Willoughby, Rylan Clark, Ashley Roberts, and Greg James.
The comedy star later revealed that she discovered she was pregnant while on her first holiday with Alistair in Italy.
In November, she described it as the ‘most perfect day’ of her life, recalling how, on their final day in Palmero, she realised she had missed her period.
She added to The Times: ‘[Alistair] joked, “Let’s buy a pregnancy test then.”’ We did and I was pregnant.
‘It was the happiest, most perfect day of my life.’
Alistair then moved in with her, as she shared: ‘Not long afterwards, he packed all his stuff in a van in Manchester where he lived and arrived at my house.’
Not long afterwards, the parents-to-be bought a home together and Barney was born just one day after they finished unpacking – talk about timing!
‘I know Al will look after me and Barney,’ Emily said lovingly.
‘I know he will be the best father and the best husband eventually. I am happier than I ever thought I could be.’
