Damian Lewis looks loved up with new girlfriend Alison Mosshart

Damian Lewis looked loved up as he posed for cute snaps with his new girlfriend Alison Mosshart on Wednesday, as they attended The Big Pink’s album launch in London.

The Billions actor, 51, publicly confirmed his relationship with the American musician, 43, in July, 14 months after his wife, Peaky Blinders actress Helen McCrory, died after a battle with cancer. The new couple were beaming as they enjoyed a night out at The House of KOKO, with celebs including Noel Gallagher and Matt Smith also in attendance.

Damian looked dapper dressed head-to-toe in grey as he sported a dogtooth blazer and matching trousers, topping off the outfit with a grey flat cap style hat. Alison – known as the singer in The Kills and Jack White outfit The Dead Weather – showed off her eccentric style in a green star printed blouse and pink satin trousers.

The lovebirds are thought to have been introduced by mutual friends in London, with Alisons mother Vivian, 76, telling MailOnline they have become increasingly fond of one another. She said: “I don't know how much flak I'm going to get for all of this but of course we are excited for her.

“They have mutual friends. I don't know exactly how they met but I'm fine with it. If she's happy, we are happy. I'm yet to meet him but certainly I'd like to.”

The couple were first snapped together in July at a party for London's National Gallery, before appearing together at the Serpentine Gallery's annual summer party and again at the Silverstone Grand Prix. Reflecting on her day spent trackside in July, Alison wrote on Instagram: “The absolute thrill. I'm still floating… at 200 miles per hour.”

Damian’s late wife Helen died after a private battle with breast cancer in July last year, with very few people said to have been aware of her diagnosis. Following her death, the Homeland actor revealed Helen had urged him to find love again and told him and their two children she wanted “Daddy to have lots of girlfriends.”

Writing on social media, Damian said: “She died as she lived. Fearlessly. God we love her and know how lucky we are to have had her in our lives.

“She blazed so brightly. Go now, Little One, into the air.”

Writing a moving eulogy to his wife of 14 years, Damian added: “She said to us from her bed, ‘I want Daddy to have girlfriends, lots of them, you must all love again, love isn’t possessive’.

“But you know, Damian, try at least to get through the funeral without snogging someone.’”
