Interest in her personal life has grown again because of rumors linking her to stuntman Bobby Holland Hanton. Reports say his father has shared kind words about the connection, which has helped fuel the speculation.

Her dating life has often made headlines. Many fans still remember her long relationship with actor Matt Smith. They met in 2014 while filming Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and stayed together for five years before splitting in 2019. Later, she dated musician Michael Shuman from Queens of the Stone Age. Their relationship became public in 2021, and they appeared together at the Academy Awards. They split in early 2023 but were later seen together at Glastonbury, which briefly sparked rumors of a reunion.

Away from the gossip, Lily James is very busy with work. She recently starred in the biographical drama Swiped, where she played Bumble founder Whitney Wolfe Herd. The film also marked her first time working as a producer with her friend Gala Gordon under their company Parodos.

Her future projects are very different from each other. She is set to lead a reboot of the movie Cliffhanger, playing an expert climber named Naomi Cooper who must rescue her father, played by Pierce Brosnan. She will also appear in Harmonia, an 80s thriller directed by Guy Nattiv, alongside Carrie Coon and Bella Ramsey. She also has a voice role in The Angry Birds Movie 3.

For now, her latest public appearance has once again put both her career and her rumored romance in the spotlight.
