James Norton, an actor, has refuted rumors that he’s dating Lily Allen after they allegedly shared kisses at a festival in London earlier this year.
James Norton has addressed rumours of a romance with Lily Allen that emerged following reports the pair allegedly shared a kiss. Speaking about a story from June involving a supposed “snog” with the ‘Smile’ singer at the Lido Festival in London’s Victoria Park, James hinted that the reality becomes clear when you examine the photographs.
During a recent chat with the Guardian, the subject of relationships came up with the King & Conqueror actor, who parted ways with his former fiancée Imogen Poots in 2023, along with what the publication described as the “oppressive” scrutiny that his romantic life attracts.
He stated that he constantly strikes a balance between “authenticity with privacy” and that he doesn’t want to talk about his relationships “at all” and doesn’t like being spotted by paparazzi.
James explained: “I want to be honest but I don’t want to talk about my relationships at all and I don’t like it when I get photographed with a friend walking down the street and it’s then told the next day like it’s a romance. Another romance!”
Additionally, it became clear that this discussion took place just one week before the festival incident. James responded to accusations of kissing the singer by saying, “I’m not snogging them!” Isn’t that funny, isn’t it?
He continued, “I’m a man in London who goes on occasional dates, meets people, lives his life, and it’s kind of nobody’s business really.”
The Sun published the allegations, stating that the duo were spotted at the festival watching Charli XCX’s performance before heading to a “backstage compound”.
According to a “onlooker,” James and Lily “looked very inward and were snogging backstage.” We were all quite taken aback when we saw them together, let alone kissing.
Additionally, the publication claimed that Paul Mescal and Harris Dickinson were present at the after-party and that Lily and James allegedly got married via Raya, a popular dating app.
It was reported earlier this month that Lily and Stranger Things actor David Harbour were going to leave the townhouse in New York.
The former couple, who got hitched in 2020, split last year after purchasing the Brooklyn property after their Las Vegas wedding. The Mirror reports that Lily has since bought a former council flat in London.
Lily’s self-catering habit seems to be centered on interior design, revealing to the publication that she has been using design magazines for her rumored new home in Notting Hill.
She continued, “I’m really enjoying those at the moment. It’s obvious that I’ve had a lot of trouble, and that has really helped me.”
