Last year, the couple sparked marriage rumors when Georgia was spotted wearing a gold band on her wedding finger during lunch at the pub.
The Double Date actress wore a trendy denim dress and oversized gray sweater.
Georgia opted for minimal accessories during her cozy lunch date, with her attention focused on her gold band. Rupert also came out with a simple ring, which he wore on his middle finger.

In an interview with The Guardian in 2018, Rupert talked about his settling down and revealed his hopes of having children one day.
He said: ‘Turning 30 felt strange. It just doesn’t seem like it’s there yet and I don’t know what the future holds. I’m going to go with the flow, keep playing interesting characters and see what happens.
“I’d like to settle down and have children soon. If I had a child, would I call him Ron? It’s a good name, but probably not. And Grint is a difficult name to match a one-syllable name.”
