However, speaking to the Daily Mail in March 2022, Helena said that she was in no hurry to exchange vows, pointing out: ‘I wasn’t married the first time.’
The actress, who once cited her main style influences as Vivienne Westwood and Marie Antoinette, wore her brown locks in an updo for her outing in the capital, finishing off her unique look with a green hair piece and matching glasses.
Despite the weather in London reaching soaring temperatures of almost thirty degrees, the actress opted to tie a black jacket around her outfit.
The movie legend was busy reading something on her phone as she enjoyed her walk in the sun, putting her glasses on at one point to get a closer look.
Helena and her former long-term partner, director Tim Burton famously lived in inter-connecting houses during their 13-year relationship, with each property decorated to their own his ‘n’ hers tastes and personal styles.
However, the Daily Mail’s Richard Eden reported in 2021 that she had made the step of choosing to share a home with her academic boyfriend, even adding to their domestic bliss by adopting house rabbits.
The couple met at a wedding in 2018, four years after Helena split from Tim.
Explaining how they met, she told The Guardian: ‘A totally random thing, which both of us nearly didn’t go to, so it was one of those moments that was so chance and ended up determining so much. A really happy accident, and it’s an amazing thing.’

Addressing the couple’s 21-year age gap, the actress previously said in an interview with The Times:
‘Everybody ages at a different rate. My boyfriend is unbelievably mature. He’s an old soul in a young body, what more could I want?
‘People are slightly frightened of older women, but he isn’t. Women can be very powerful when they’re older.’
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Helena for comment.
