Ruth Negga’s boyfriend Dominic Cooper will NOT join her on the Oscars red carpet

Ruth Negga will NOT be joined by her famous other half Dominic Cooper on the Oscars red carpet, as they want to keep their relationship as private as possible.

However, the hunky actor will in fact join her for the actual ceremony, as sources say that the Mamma Mia! star is “Ruth’s rock”.

“Dominic will be attending the Oscars. He is Ruth’s rock and her constant support, but both of them are fiercely protective of their relationship,” a source told the Herald.

“Exclusive sit-down interviews with magazines are as far away from Ruth and Dominic as you can get – they have no aspirations to be any sort of a showbiz couple and guard their privacy.

“They have a lovely life together in London with a bunch of close friends and that’s the way they like it.

“Both of them are extremely grounded but focused. They make a great team and have been together over six years now, so even though there has been a lot more attention on them lately because of Ruth, they are pretty rock solid.”

The loved-up pair first met when they both starred in a stage adaptation of Phedre, alongside Helen Mirren in London back in 2009, the pair then reunited again last year as they both worked on cult series Preacher.

The Irish-Ethiopian actress, best known for her role in Misfits and crime drama Love/Hate, is up for Best Leading Actress at the 89th Academy Awards, for her role as Mildred in Loving. The 89th Academy Awards, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, will take place on February 26 in Los Angeles.
