Luke Evans (43) is rarely so private: the British actor apparently spent Christmas with his partner Fran Tomas. On Instagram, he surprises his fans with a cute couple selfie, on which the two are standing in a snow-covered garden.

"Merry Christmas from us to you," Evans writes about the rare snapshot. He wears a red and black checked jacket, a scarf and a beret in the photo. Friend Fran Tomas can also be seen in a thick winter jacket. The two pose for the camera with a smile, cuddling up to each other.

The selfie is one of the first photos Evans shows his loved one. The actor and the Spanish graphic designer have reportedly been dating for just over a year. He previously had an on-off relationship with art director Rafael Olarra until late 2020.
