Who Lily James Was Just Spotted Kissing After The Dominic West Scandal
Lily James is locking lips with a new man.
The Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again star made headlines in October 2020 after she was spotted getting cozy with married actor Dominic West, her Pursuit of Love co-star, while filming in Rome. According to The Daily Mail, the couple was "seen riding a scooter together, with West also stroking Miss James's hair and appearing to kiss the side of her face during a lunch with their agent and mutual friend Angharad Wood." US Weekly also reported that James and West were kissing on a plane ride back to England, West's home country.
James shared on Instagram that she "almost completely" wrapped filming for The Pursuit of Love in October 2020. When West reunited with his wife, with whom he shares four kids, the two posed for loved-up photos for paparazzi outside their home. "Our marriage is strong and we're very much still together. Thank you," the couple told reporters via a handwritten note, according to US Weekly.
Now, James has been linked to a new man after she was seen kissing him publicly in February 2021.
Lily James has her eyes on an American rockstar
The Daily Mail reported on Feb. 12, 2021 that Lily James was seen kissing American rock artist Michael Shuman. Shuman is a member of the controversial Queens of the Stone Age, a band that has performed on stage in the nude and sings about drug and alcohol abuse. It is unclear how the two met, but the publication reported that Shuman was staying at the same Suffolk, England boutique hotel at which James and her cast and crew were quarantining. At the time of the spotting, James was filming What's Love Got to Do With It?, per US Weekly.
"Lily's driver turned up just after 9am, then she and Michael emerged from the hotel together a few minutes later," an eyewitness told The Daily Mail. "They were laughing and joking and looked very happy together."
James and her long-term boyfriend, actor Matt Smith, broke up in 2019. In August 2020, she was spotted holding hands with Marvel Universe star Chris Evans.
