Rachel McAdams has had several high-profile relationships but her romance with boyfriend Jamie Linden has been the more low-key. McAdams started dating Linden in 2016, a year after she was linked to her True Detective costar Taylor Kitsch. The screenwriter brought McAdams as his plus-one to a friend's wedding in June 2016. The next month, the couple made an appearance at San Diego Comic-Con together. In February 2018, it was reported that the actress was expecting her first child with Linden after she noticeably did not attend the L.A. premiere of her film Game Night. McAdams never confirmed her pregnancy at the time. The couple secretly welcomed a baby boy in August 2018. While opening up about first time motherhood, McAdams gushed, "We live such a gypsy life as actors, so [it's great] being with someone who can be on the road as well," she told the Sunday Times in November 2018. She made another rare comment about Linden in January 2026 while receiving a star on Hollywood Boulevard. "To Jamie, my North Star, Kayleen, my other North Star, thank you for being such a great team and keeping me quasi-normal," she said. "I love you all so much. Thank you so much."
