The couple were dressed as relaxed as they appeared.

Margaret wore a green sweatshirt and cap over her loose brunette waves, whereas Shia sported a Megadeth T-shirt with sunglasses tucked into the back of the neckline.

The couple were also spotted outside the residence, where Margaret flashed a beaming smile.

Margaret and Shia have been practically attached at the hip ever since beginning their romance earlier in December.

The couple were first linked after putting on a PDA-packed display at Los Angeles International Airport several weeks ago. 

The new relationship, however, comes after Shia was accused by his ex-girlfriend FKA twigs of sexual battery in a lawsuit filed by the singer.
