The couple's romance began in December 2017 a few months after James split from Irish singer and actress Jessie Buckley, 32 - who he was with for two years.
James and Imogen initially had a long distance relationship (between New York and London), which she previously opened up on during an interview with The Evening Standard.

Five years later: Imogen and James met when they starred alongside each other in Belleville at the Donmar Warehouse during the summer of 2017
She said: 'It's all I've ever known. I've never known something to fall apart because of distance.'
'Sharing a bathroom, however, is quite another matter,' she added.
But in 2020, Imogen - who starred in The Father with Anthony Hopkins - moved into James's London pad in Peckham, and the couple are often seen cycling around the district.
However, they won't be in the SE15 location for long, with a source telling Eden Confidential’s Stephanie Takyi: 'They're looking for a marital home in upmarket locations in East London.'

James has previously said his 2020 film, Nowhere Special, in which he played the dying father of a three-year-old boy, kicked off his 'broody barometer' and he was keen to become a dad.
The hunky actor is famous for playing crime-solving vicar Sidney Chambers alongside Robson Green in the ITV series Grantchester since 2014.
Imogenis best known for playing Tammy in the post-apocalyptic horror film 28 Weeks Later, and portraying Jesse Crichton in A Long Way Down.
