The
Golden Globe nominee
, 37, received the Breakthrough Artist Award at the 30th Annual Palm Springs International Film Festival’s Film Awards Gala on Thursday, January 3, and he let his affection for Boynton, 24, who arrived at the event separately and posed on the carpet alone, be known.
“I’m just really honored to be here, so thank you to the Palm Springs Film Festival. It’s a privilege, it’s not lost on me and I’m so appreciative,” he started his acceptance speech before addressing the
Murder on the Orient Express
actress directly.
“Thank you, Lucy Boynton,” he continued. “You have been my ally, my confidant, my love. Thank you so much.”
Us Weekly
broke the news of the
actors’ relationship
in April 2018. “They met while filming
Bohemian Rhapsody
in London,” a source told
Us
at the time. “He is so into her. He goes and visits her in London all the time.”

This isn’t the first time Malek has romanced a costar, however. Prior to his tryst with the British-American actress, he dated his
Mr. Robot
costar
Portia Doubleday
for several years before they split in 2017.
Malek has been highly praised for his portrayal of Freddie Mercury in
Bohemian Rhapsody
since the film came out in November.
Christian Slater
called his
Mr. Robot
costar’s performance “extraordinary,” but the 49-year-old actor admitted shortly after the movie’s release that he had
reservations
about Malek’s ability to take on the role.

“Honestly, I was a little nervous. I know how talented and brilliant he is, but that’s a large task to take on,” Slater told
Us
exclusively at the time. “From the get-go, he flew himself to London, he hired the dance coach to help him get the moves. He did all of those things prior to production. The results are all up there on the screen — it’s incredible. It’s amazing.”
