Late last year, the pair took their relationship to the next level as they adopted their rescue dog.
Lily is the latest in a long line of A-List partners for Charlie, who directed The One I Love and The Discovery.
The LA-born filmmaker has dated several high-profile actresses, including Emilia Clarke, 33, Hilary Duff, 32, and Rooney Mara, 34.
Charlie was in a relationship with Hilary for three months between September and December 2007.

The director then had a serious romance with Rooney for over six years from 2010, which came to an end in September 2016.
Charlie and Game Of Thrones star Emilia confirmed they were dating in October 2018, but the relationship fizzled out.
Lily has also had her fair share of headline-grabbing relationships, including a brief romance with her Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vile co-star Zac Efron, 32, in 2012.
The brunette had an on/off romance with British actor Jamie Campbell Bower, 31, for five years after meeting on the set of The Mortal Instruments, but the pair called it quits for good in 2018.
Lily and Charlie both have famous parents in common; Lily’s dad is British musician Phil Collins, while Charlie is the son of actor Malcolm McDowell and actress Mary Steenburgen.
