'X-Men' star James Marsden, 52, makes rare public appearance with girlfriend Frederique Brons, 28, at Paris Fashion Week

James Marsden, 52, and Frederique Brons, 28, served a very summer-appropriate, cool vibe in their casual yet chic clothes as they attended the Dior Homme Spring 2027 show in Paris on Wednesday, June 24. The pair looked happy and radiant as they kept each other close during the red carpet appearance.

James Marsden and Frederique Brons did not go for matching fits; instead, they chose completely different color palettes that gorgeously complemented each other. 'The Notebook' star donned a green and checkered shirt styled with tan pants and loafers. He accessorized them with a pair of sunglasses. His much younger lady love went for a simple baby pink dress, featuring a high-low ruffled skirt and a tie at the waist. She completed her look by adding a small white Dior bag and a pair of pink pointed-toe heels.

James Marsden and Frederique Brons, who have been together for nearly three years, showcased subtle PDA during the outing as they lovingly posed together, leaning on each other and holding hands. The couple, who have a nearly 24-year age difference, also posted pictures from the fashion show on their respective Instagram pages, but opted only for solo photos.

Though James Marsden and Frederique Brons' romance has continued to spark curiosity among their fans, the actor has not said much about his relationship with his 24-year-younger Dutch girlfriend. In 2015, he, however, shared, "I find as I get older, I'm more traditional and old-fashioned. I prefer face-to-face conversation as opposed to texting. You need to go out of your way to spend good time with one another, you need to have a date night."

James Marsden and Frederique Brons' romance reportedly came to light after the duo were spotted kissing in 2023. The 'X-Men' star was previously romantically linked with Brazilian model Rose Costa, with whom he even shares son William, 13. The Emmy-nominated actor is also the father of son Jack, 25, and daughter Mary, 20, whom he had with former wife, Lisa Linde. Speaking about love and relationships, Marsden previously said, "When you're young, there's a desire to be one person together, and that's not healthy. Maybe it's a romantic idea to think that way, but it's very important to maintain your individuality, and yet go through life together." He further added, "It's not good to give up on other parts of your life and cling to somebody, that's not the right way to go about it."
