They met on the set of Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody when he portrayed Radio Ga Ga hit maker Freddie Mercury and she played his girlfriend Mary Austin.

And five years on, Rami Malek and Lucy Boynton have called time on their romance, The Sun reports.

Insiders said the couple, who have not been pictured together since February, ended their romance earlier this year after drifting apart.

Since then, No Time To Die star Malek, 42, has surrounded himself with close friends including The Crown’s Emma Corrin — who reportedly flew into the UK to watch Bruce Springsteen with him at BST Hyde Park last month.

“Rami and Lucy split earlier this year without much fanfare,” a source said.

“They were together for a long time but had grown apart. They are both moving on with their lives and are busy with work.

“Rami has surrounded himself with his mates and has spent the summer enjoying himself.”

Questions over whether he and Boynton, 29, had split emerged earlier this year when they failed to be seen publicly together.

Last month, Boynton was spotted at Wimbledon without Malek, who was snapped just over a week later enjoying the sunshine in London with famous friends including Mamma Mia! actor Dominic Cooper and Rachel Brosnahan from Amazon Prime comedy The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.

The pair previously gushed about one another, with Malek declaring his love for Lucy on stage at the Oscars in 2019 when he picked up the Best Actor gong for Bohemian Rhapsody.

He told the audience: “Lucy Boynton, you are the heart of this film, you are beyond immensely talented, you have captured my heart.”
