Hugh Bonneville is reportedly active on a celebrity dating app in the wake of his marriage split. The Downton Abbey actor, 60, is said to have a profile on the invite-only matchmaking service, which costs its famous members £20 per month. He has reportedly verified his account by connecting it to his
Instagram page, which has 177,000 followers. Hugh and his estranged wife Lulu Evans, 55, announced their split after 25-years of marriage last year. The couple, who tied the knot in 1998 and renewed their wedding vows in
Las Vegas five years ago, confirmed their separation via a spokesperson for the
Actor in September. Lulu was said to have been devastated, with a source saying at the time: "It is clear that Lulu feels as if 20-odd years of marriage counts for nothing." She was reportedly "really hurt" after the news of Hugh's new romance with Claire Rankin, 53, emerged in the press. Hugh Bonneville and Lulu Williams renewed their wedding vows just five years before splitting In recent weeks, the dad-of-one has been spending time with divorcee Claire at his
London flat. And last month he took her as his guest to a Buckingham Palace event attended by
Queen Consort Camilla Parker Bowles. Hugh's profile on dating app Raya could hint he has split from Claire, but according to The Sun, Hugh's profile says he is "just looking for friends". The Mirror has approached Hugh's representatives for comment on this story. Hugh is expected to reprise his role of Lord Grantham in a third Downton film, due out next year, after the first two banked more than £220million. He was an original cast member in the TV show, which ran for six series from 2010 to 2015. The films were released in 2019 and 2022. Other famous faces on Raya include David Walliams , Sheridan Smith, Paloma Faith and
Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams. Una Healy from The Saturdays once shared that she met boxer David Haye on the app and Lily Allen also revealed that she met her husband, Stranger Things and Hellboy actor David Harbour, on Raya. Speaking on The Jonathan Ross Show in March last year, Lily explained how she came across the Jim Hopper actor on the celebrity dating app. "On a dating app, called Raya. It was the first time I’d been on this dating app. I was scrolling through and landed on David’s profile and pressed accept," the Smile
Singer recalled. "I didn’t know who he was. I thought he was just like a sexy policeman from a reality TV show. He was wearing a policeman’s uniform," mum-of-two Lily continued, before adding: "It was a still from Stranger Things. I’d never seen Stranger Things. I don’t even know what I was looking for. It was just something to do on holiday, swiping, it’s a bit of fun. When I met him I didn’t think it was going to go anywhere. He was here filming Black Widow. He was only going to be here for a couple of months. And then it did (go somewhere)." Follow Mirror Celebs on TikTok , Snapchat , Instagram ,
