Back in 2021, Shadow and Bone fans fell in love with Archie Renaux when the hit Netflix original fantasy series made its premiere. The 25-year-old English actor plays the gifted (and super handsome!) tracker Mal Oretsev. It’s difficult not to find Mal incredibly charming!
Shadow and Bone might have been the first time most fans came to know Archie Renaux, who started working professionally as an actor in 2016 after previously working in construction. Prior to the Netflix series, he co-starred alongside Ben Barnes in the series Gold Digger.
While watching Renaux as Mal in Shadow and Bone season 2, you’re probably wondering about the actor’s real-life relationship status. Is Archie Renaux still with his girlfriend and the mother of his daughter? Here’s the latest on Renaux and his girlfriend, Annie!
Who is Archie Renaux’s girlfriend?
While Archie Renaux has shared very few specific details about his relationship, he reportedly began dating Annie O’Hara in late 2019 or early 2020. O’Hara doesn’t have a public social media profile and the couple have kept their relationship private as well.
Details on how the couple met or what O’Hara doesn’t aren’t readily available, but they are super cute together. In October 2020, they welcomed their first child together, a daughter named Iris. Renaux hasn’t shared photos of their daughter beyond a Halloween father-daughter moment, a cute shadow family photo and a snap of Iris on his shoulders at the aquarium.
Are Archie Renaux and Annie O’Hara still together?
Because Archie and Annie (isn’t that adorable?!) keep their relationship so private, fans might be curious if they’re still together. Yes, they’re still going strong! In September 2022, Annie accompanied Archie to the premiere of his movie Catherine Called Birdy.
The actor shared a photo of him and his girlfriend at the premiere, stating in the caption that when he read Lena Dunham’s script, he knew Annie and Iris would both love the movie. Of course, at nearly 3-years-old, their daughter won’t be watching dad’s work for a while still.
In December 2022, Renaux covered the winter issue of Wonderland Magazine and reflected on the past year of his career and finding the balance to spend more time with his family:
"“That is my life now. It’s so nice because I get to see everything go full circle as my daughter does the things I did as a kid. There is something quite special about it. Things have gotten really busy and I’m very lucky and grateful that I have been working a lot for most of this year. But now I’m really trying to balance that with finding time to spend with my family and get those precious moments in.”"
Make sure to watch Archie Renaux in Shadow and Bone season 2, which begins streaming on Netflix on Thursday, March 16.
