The two met on the set of Bryan Singer's Queen biopic, Bohemian Rhapsody. Though the film was marred with scandal (Singer was fired), Boynton said that Malek was professional, poised, and got the entire cast and crew through the ordeal. She played Mary Austin to Malek's Freddie Mercury and the romance went from on-screen to off.
"Rami felt so much the leader of that set," Boynton told The Cut. "The cast became so close going through that, as you always do when going through a particularly stressful experience, to put it politely."

While they have been seen together at various events, they still haven't confirmed their relationship. A source told Us Weekly that they were definitely an item and confirmed that they met on set.
"They met while filming Bohemian Rhapsody in London," the source said. "He is so into her. He goes and visits her in London all the time."

"Lucy Boynton, you're the heart of this film. You are beyond immensely talented. You have captured my heart. Thank you so much," he said.

Boynton addresses their relationship in an interview with The Cut.
"Him winning for his performance was like winning for the tip of the iceberg of everything he had done," Boynton said. "You kind of forget that there are hundreds of other people in the room."
In the same interview, Boynton also shared that Malek has some very specific thoughts about the way she dresses.
"I held up a dress and he said, 'Why are you always trying to dress like a 12-year-old ghost?'" she said about a shopping trip they took together.
September 2019
Malek supported Boynton at the premiere of Netflix's The Politician. In an interview with Porter, Boynton said that she's still getting used to just how famous her boyfriend is.
"It's lovely to see people who are excited about his work โ if they've seen Mr. Robot or [the] Freddie [Mercury biopic, Bohemian Rhapsody] โ but it's just that thing of people grabbing him," she said. "I mean, you'd never grab a complete stranger in the street. And I think there's a sense of ownership."
