British pop star Lily Allen was seen spending time with actor James Norton over the weekend at the Lido Festival in East London, sparking dating rumours just months after her split from Stranger Things star David Harbour.
According to onlookers, Lily Allen appeared smitten with Norton, who recently ended his relationship with model Charlotte Rose Smith. The two celebrities were seen watching performances — including one by Charli XCX — together, opting to remain among the general crowd rather than retreating to the privacy of the VIP area.
The outing marks Lily Allen’s first public “date” since her separation from Harbour last year. The singer and mother of two has since rejoined the exclusive celebrity dating app Raya, humorously updating her profile to say she’s “looking for someone to start couples therapy with.”
Norton, best known for his role in Happy Valley, has also returned to the dating scene. His profile reportedly reappeared on Raya last month following his breakup with Smith. The actor was previously engaged to 28 Weeks Later star Imogen Poots before they split in 2023.
Allen, meanwhile, has remained focused on her career, recently taking on a lead role in a new production of Hedda Gabler at the Theatre Royal in Bath.
