Gwyneth Paltrow and her husband Brad Falchuk put on an affectionate display as they enjoyed some quality time with one another in Los Angeles on Sunday evening.
The couple wrapped their arms around one another as they stepped out after a dinner date.
Brad, 53, sweetly held his wife close as they emerged into the sunshine.
Gwyneth, 51, who recently opened up about becoming an empty nester, looked effortlessly chic as usual with her navy coat worn over a striped top and flared jeans.
Her feet were slipped into glossy black boots as she walked alongside her husband, at one point several paces ahead of him.

She wore her blonde hair down and carried her cell phone and her eyewear.
As for her husband, he was looking dapper in a smart button down sweater, flannel top, slacks, and trainers. A fashionable pair of glasses finished off the look.
Gwyneth and Brad have been married since 2018 and last month the actress posted a loving tribute to him in honor of his birthday.
She captioned a sweet snap of them together: 'Happy birthday @bradfalchuk. You are my everything (blue heart emoji).'
Gwyneth was previously married to Coldplay singer Chris Martin from 2003 to 2016 and they share son Moses, 18, and daughter Apple, 19, together.
Brad was also previously married and to fellow TV producer Suzanne Bukinik from 2002 to 2013. They have daughter Isabella, 19, and son Brody, 17, together.
Their outing comes after Gwyneth reflected on becoming an empty nester once her son heads to college.
'It's kind of giving me a nervous breakdown, if I'm honest,' she admitted during the keynote panel at the In Goop Health Summit over the weekend covered by The Hollywood Reporter.

'I started being like, "Oh my God, and I need to quit my job and I need to sell my house and I need to move." It's sort of putting things into turmoil,' she added.
Sending kids off to college – daughter Apple is already a sophomore at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee – is something most parents can relate to.
'My identity has been being a mother. Apple's going to be 20 in May. So I've oriented my whole life around them and their schedules and when school starts,' she explained.
'You start to let go in increments when they're driving themselves around or doing certain things. It is a slower process.'

She added: 'I feel really lucky because I have a close group of mom friends and we all raised our kids alongside one another. So we’re kind of in it together.'
Moses will be enrolling in Brown University in the fall and Rhode Island is a long way from Los Angeles.
So the mom of two has been doing some reading on empty nest syndrome and healthy ways to let your kids go off and build their own life.
'Psychologist-astrologist Jennifer Freed said, "I would like you to think of it as being free birds instead of having an empty nest." And that resonates,' she said.

'Instead of creating a sense of loss – what if I were free? And I could say yes to a girls' weekend, because I didn't feel guilty. That kind of thing,' she added.
Moses' pending departure has been heavy on the Shallow Hal star's mind in recent interviews in which she's described motherhood as something that's made her 'so defined and so fulfilled.'
'On the one hand, incredible sadness. A deep sense of impending grief. On the other hand, this is exactly what should be happening,' is how she explained her feelings about Moses going to college to The Sunday Times.
And she won't be going through it alone, either. Her husband Brad's son Brody will also be heading off to college in the fall.
'It'll be interesting to see how the morning routine changes with no kids in the house,' she said.
