Rachael, who is now 45, shot to fame as Laney Boggs in She’s All That.

She is also famous for starring in The Baby-Sitters Club and Josie and the Pussycats.

Meanwhile, Brandon, who is also 45, shot to fame when he portrayed the iconic superhero Superman in the 2006 film Superman Returns.

Brandon also starred in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Legends of Tomorrow and Arrow.

The two stars enjoyed a low-key outing together in LA as they headed to a weekend movie screening on Friday night.

Rachael and Brandon were seen holding hands as they stopped by the crowded venue.

SMITTEN DISPLAY

At one point in the evening, Brandon’s arm was seen affectionately around Rachael as they walked around in public,

Love was clearly in the air as the couple shared sweet smiles and cozy moments on their outing.

Another adorable moment saw Rachael sweetly rest her hand on Brandon’s back. 

The actress was previously married Daniel Gillies, whom she wed in 2004, but their romance was not to last.

“We got engaged after dating for maybe five months and we got married a couple of months after that,” she told People Magazine in a previous interview.

They then separated in June 2019 and their divorce was finalized in 2021.

A year later, in October 2022, Rachael opened up about her split from Daniel.

‘HAPPILY DIVORCED’

She gushed that she was “happily divorced” at the time.

Rachael also said of her ex, “We still share Halloween. We go out walking around together and my kids like my boyfriend [Kevin Mann] a lot and we’re slowly just navigating what that looks like and it’s tough.

“It’s tough and it’s certainly relatable to so many families out there,” she told Us Weekly at the time.

She added, “So I hope that this is a nice touchpoint for kids who have a new step-sibling. Maybe take a little bit of a cue from that.”

Rachael and her ex-husband Daniel share two children from their marriage.

They are parents to a daughter named Charlotte, born in 2013, and a son named Theodore, born in 2015.

Rachael had been in a relationship with Kevin before she got with Brandon.

She and Kevin went Instagram official in 2021.

But according to several reports, the relationship ended “a few years later”.
