Lily Collins says her relationship with fiancé Charlie McDowell has gotten stronger during quarantine. 

The “Emily in Paris” star — who got engaged to McDowell in Septembertold L’Officiel magazine that the couple has benefitted from time together “without the layers of society” interfering. 

“Quarantine has made and broken up a lot of people, but the time together just solidified what we already knew about each other,” the 31-year-old said. “Everyone has very much been who they are these last few months, because there aren’t any external distractions.”

“We’re all really getting back to the core of who we are without the layers of society,” Collins added. “When you’ve seen someone at their best and at their worst and you’re still right there with them, that’s a beautiful thing.”

Collins, who is British music icon Phil Collins’ daughter, is marrying into a famous family as well: McDowell is the son of Malcolm McDowell and Mary Steenburgen, while his stepfather is Ted Danson.
