Captain America actor Chris Evans was spotted on ice cream date with Cinderella star Lily James in London. As expected, this sparked rumors that a romance is brewing between the two actors. This comes amid reports about James trying to get back with her long-term boyfriend Matt Smith.
In Dec., last year, James and Smith decided to part ways with inside sources claiming that the couple has ended their five-year relationship. James was reportedly unhappy about Smith's friendship with some of his female co-stars.
Another source told Daily Mail that their busy filming schedule played a big role in their split. Despite ending their romance, they decided not to sell the home they bought together because they didn't use it much anyway. That changed after the coronavirus pandemic began tightening its grip on people across the globe.
Citing the outbreak, they quarantined together in their shared home. According to sources, James and Smith were able to work out their differences while quarantining and spending time together. The insider said they were able to reconnect and get back because they were both holed up in the same house with no work or distraction.
The source pointed out that the wonderful couple has amazing chemistry between them. According to the source, Smith and James' friends were hoping that they would get back together, and also believed that their relationship didn't last because of their busy careers.
James’ recent outing with Evans suggests her romance with Smith has ended. Evans, on the other hand, was last linked to actress, comedian, and author Jenny Slate. Before ending their relationship in the spring of 2018, Evans and Slate were romantically involved for more than two years.
Without offering any sort of explanation, Evans confirmed that he was no longer dating Slate. While he remained tight-lipped about why their romance didn't work out, Evans admitted that he wanted to start a family a year later.
In an interview with Men's Journal, the Avengers: Endgame actor said he is ready to settle down, and start his own family. While he was not dating at the time of the interview, Evans sounded eager to romantically involved with someone.
Evans has remained mum about his romantic life after the interview. As several countries begin lifting restrictions, the actor is in London filming Little Shop of Horrors. This explains why he was seen out on the town, and it also suggests he may have started a new romance.
The Downton Abbey star was partying with Evans in London recently. The actress was spotted donning a red dress at Mark’s Club, the same venue where Evans was also spotted enjoying a night of partying.
