Gemma Chan looks elegant in a smart black coat as she and boyfriend Dominic Cooper are joined by pals Douglas Booth and Billie Piper to celebrate her 42nd birthday at Chiltern Firehouse


Gemma Chan looked the picture of elegance on Friday night as she and boyfriend Dominic Cooper stepped out at the Chiltern Firehouse in London to celebrate her 42nd birthday.

The actress wrapped up against the chill in a long, black, belted coat, which she teamed with a pair of pointed black heels and a large black handbag.

The Eternals star appeared to be wearing a chic black suede dress beneath her coat, with the beauty sporting loose locks and a dewy make-up palette which highlighted her stunning features.

Meanwhile, Dominic, 46, looked dapper in an all black ensemble as he accompanied his girlfriend while carrying a large box – which was later confirmed to have contained a ceramic giraffe.

The couple of six years were joined by pals including Douglas Booth and Billie Piper, with actor Douglas, 32, keeping things relatively casual in a khaki polo top, sports cap and trainers.

Billie, 42, meanwhile wowed as she showed off her legs in black tights while sporting what appeared to be a very short ensemble.

The actress and former singer hugged a furry black jacket around herself as she walked, while also rocking a pair of chunky black shoes with spikes adorning the front.

The group certainly had a good night out at the celebrity hotspot as they reportedly didn’t leave the venue until the early hours.

The birthday celebrations come days after Gemma and Dominic looked smitten as they enjoyed a day out shopping in North London on Tuesday. 

The Mamma Mia! actor appeared in top spirits as he stepped out in a navy shirt and trousers. 

Braving the UK’s cold snap, he layered a navy jacket and coat over his shirt as he shielded away from the autumn sun behind a pair of aviator sunglasses. 

Alongside him, Captain Marvel actress Gemma cut a relaxed figure in a black wool jumper which she layered under an oversized maroon leather jacket. 

After enjoying a day of shopping, the pair were seen dropping their shopping bags into the back of their black mini SUV before they drove around London. 

Gemma and Dominic have worked to keep their romance out of the public eye since they got together in 2018.

After months of dating rumours, the couple made their first public appearance at an afterparty for the British Fashion Awards six years ago.

They’ve been together ever since, though neither are big on flaunting their relationship or speaking about their love life to the press.

Prior to her romance with Dominic, Gemma was previously in a long-term relationship with Jack Whitehall.

Gemma and Jack split as they struggled to make it work around their non-stop filming schedules.

Dominic’s most high-profile romance prior to Gemma was with his Mamma Mia! co-star Amanda Seyfried.

In 2021, Gemma told ELLE UK: ‘Over 10 years, you learn the importance of privacy, what you choose to share and what you don’t.

‘When you start out, you don’t even know what is important to keep for yourself. 

‘I didn’t anyway, at the beginning, whereas now I think there are certain things that I absolutely know, ”That’s mine and it’s private.”

‘For me, my comfort level is to have a clear distinction between what is for me and what I’m happy to talk about.’
