Ladies and gentlemen, today is the day we come together to acknowledge an incredibly sad truth: Rami Malek, star of Bohemian Rhapsody, has a girlfriend. And it's not you. Or me. Gasp!
I know exactly how you feel. I, like you, saw the film, fell head-over-heels in love with him, and have never looked back since. Needless to say, this puts a bit of a roadblock in our budding romance (not that we've ever met).
One thing that does make this news slightly less depressing (or more, depending on how you look at it) is the fact that Rami and his girlfriend, Lucy, are pretty adorable together. Discover all about their relationship (and then cry into your pillow) here.

He is so into her. He goes and visits her in London all the time" Credit: 3071 The two have been fairly obvious about their relationship, but it wasn't officially confirmed to fans until Rami took to the stage to accept the Breakthrough Performance Award at the Film Awards Gala in Palm Springs, California on January 3 Credit: 3810 His speech included a shout out to Lucy that made millions of girls' hearts sink: "Thank you, Lucy Boynton. You have been my ally, my confidant, my love. I appreciate you so much". Pretty cute, right? [[youtubewidget||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6KQbW9P1Kc]]
