Bill Nighy puts on a cosy display with Anna Wintour at screening of Living – amid romance rumours

They have long been at the center of speculation that they are dating.

And Billy Nighy and Anna Wintour did nothing to dispel the rumors Monday night as they attended a special screening of their film Living at Crosby Hotel in New York.

The actor, 72, and the Vogue editor, 73, looked comfortable as they posed for photos together.

Bill cut a dapper figure in a pinstriped navy suit, with a white shirt underneath and a mustard yellow tie.

While Anna looked typically chic in a black sweater and patterned maxi skirt, she was embroidered with intricate beading.

She added several inches of height to her petite frame with a pair of high-heeled black boots.

The fashion icon wore a large beaded necklace with amber jewels around her neck.

Anna styled her honey-colored locks into her usual sleek bob and donned black sunglasses.

Their appearance at the screening together comes after Bill and Anna I enjoyed several cozy dinners in Rome this past summer.

on one occasion youThe couple seemed delighted to be in each other’s company and embraced before sitting down to enjoy an al fresco meal.

During another dinner, Bill gave Anna roses, following the fashion mogul’s divorce from her partner of 20 years.

The pair reportedly became close after Anna split from her ‘husband’ of 16 years, Shelby Bryan, last year.

Meanwhile, Bill’s last known relationship was with English actress Diana Quick.

The couple began dating in 1980 and welcomed a daughter, Mary Nighy, in 1984. They were together for 28 years, separating in 2008.

Rumors have been circulating about Anna and Bill since 2015, as they have been seen together in numerous fashion shows, theaters and restaurants in London and New York.

Anna and telecommunications mogul Shelby, 75, were one of America’s most powerful couples, a seemingly match made in heaven when it came to bridging the worlds of fashion, business and politics.

But 21 years after their passionate love affair made front-page news on both sides of the Atlantic, MailOnline reported in October 2020 that the relationship was said to be over.

There is also a question mark over whether the couple was actually married, with a well-placed source indicating that they were never married and the relationship had ended for some time.

According to various reports in the US media, the couple’s romance began to cool in 2013, when it was revealed that Shelby, 74, owed £1.2 million in unpaid taxes to the IRS, the US equivalent of Inland Revenue.

There have been rumors for some time, and denials, that he may have returned to his ex-wife Katherine Bryan, whose later husband, investment banker Damon Mezzacappa, died in 2015.

A source close to Katherine is said to have insisted the couple simply remained friends because of their children.

Meanwhile, Anna’s relationship with actor Bill has been talked about since 2010.

In January last year, the editor-in-chief was said to be ‘radiant’ and looking ‘happier than ever’ when she and Bill were spotted having lunch together in New York; so happy, in fact, that she even momentarily removed her signature sunglasses.

Bill has always refused to comment on whether their friendship is actually love.

In 2015, when asked about it, he replied: ‘Obviously I have nothing to say about it. There are a lot of rumors about me and probably about Anna Wintour.

It’s certainly been a while since Anna, who has two grown children, Charles, 36, and Bee, 33 with her first husband, South African child psychiatrist Dr. David Shaffer, was seen with Shelby.

One of the last times they were photographed together as a couple was in 2018 at the US Open tennis championships.

Living, directed by Oliver Hermanus, centers on the character of Bill, a civil servant rebuilding post-World War II London in 1952.

His character discovers that he has a fatal disease and quickly sets out to discover purpose and meaning for his life before he dies.

He quickly becomes intrigued by a younger colleague who helps him use his years of experience to focus his energy on completing a big capstone project.
