Matt Smith and Lily James have been spotted together for the first time since they sparked breakup rumors in December. The two were seen taking a stroll and seemed to be in good spirits. However, the two maintained their distance throughout their walk. Of course, this might just be a result of the social distancing being practised all over the world due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Lily James and Matt Smith had sparked breakup rumors back in December after not being spotted together for some time. In addition, the Daily Mail reported that the two were spotted having a “tense” lunch in London. To add fuel to the fire, Lily James was spotted leaving the 2020 British Fashion Awards after-party with actor Max Ianeselli with Matt Smith nowhere in sight.
“They came out together but Lily got into a cab on her own,” a source told E! News at the time. “She was holding her head down as if she did not want to be photographed with him. Max was walking close behind her but as soon as they came out to the street he went up the block and she got in the cab,” the source continued. “He got in and left with her.”
Moreover, the Doctor Who actor also seemed to be moving on with The Crown co-star Claire Foy. However, those rumors were dispelled after multiple sources stated that the two were just good friends.
Matt Smith and Lily James made their relationship official in early 2015 as they walked the red carpet at the Cinderella premiere after sparking dating rumors in 2014.
