The Gentlemen star Kaya Scodelario has gone public with director Eran Creevy – two years after her divorce from the father of her two children, Benjamin Walker.
The actress, 34, who plays Susie Glass in the hit Netflix series, was seen locking lips with Eran, 50, who has directed two episodes of the gritty drama, the second series of which is out on Thursday.
Eran shared a sweet photo of the pair locking lips while attending a concert last month, while Kaya posted a series of throwback snaps from film series one, with a selfie showing her with co-stars and her now-boyfriend.
Sources told The Sun: ‘Eran and Kaya are in the early stages of a relationship and have seen their romance blossom this summer. There is speculation that they will make their red carpet debut together at the premiere of The Gentlemen [this] week.’
Kaya and Benjamin announced their split in February 2024, after meeting on the set of The King’s Daughter in April 2015 and tying the knot in 2015. They welcomed a son in November 2016 and a daughter in December 2021.

Announcing their divorce in 2024, their joint statement read: “Some time ago, Kaya and Ben made the mutual decision to end their marriage, but continue to lovingly co-parent while remaining the best of friends…
“They ask that both their privacy and that of their children remain respected as they move forward as a family.”
Kaya rarely speaks about her children in interviews, but reflected on being a working mother in an interview with The Guardian in 2024.
Talking about taking her children to work while filming Senna in São Paulo, she said: “It was an important moment for the whole family…
“I never wanted it to be an excuse for producers not to hire me. I was 23 when I had my son [with her ex-husband, the actor Benjamin Walker]…
“A lot of people said, ‘Well, that means you’re not going to work anymore.’ I was fortunate enough to be in a position where I could say, “I’m going to fly my son and I can breastfeed in the makeup chair.” I’m taking them along for the ride…
‘And what if that means that sometimes I get a little puke on my dress just when I walk the red carpet? I can just wet it…’

‘My ex-husband came along, and he fell in love with it too. We will always have that connection with Brazil now, and I hope we can go together regularly. My son came home and immediately said, ‘No, I want to go back!’
Star-studded comedy-drama The Gentlemen became one of the biggest hits of 2024 on the platform after the show racked up a whopping 44 million views in just four weeks.
Theo James, who leads the cast as aristocrat Eddie Halstead, was spotted on set for the scenes where a motorcycle gang rampaged through the streets.
Meanwhile, Vinnie Jones, who plays hardman Geoffrey Seacombe, swung a baseball bat as his character violently knocked a rider out of their saddle.
Also joining the cast for the new season is Downton Abbey’s Hugh Bonneville, who is best known for his role as Robert Crawley in the ITV drama.
The synopsis for the first series read: ‘When aristocratic Eddie inherits the family estate, he discovers it is home to a vast cannabis empire – and the owners are going nowhere.’
The Daily Mail has contacted Kaya’s representatives for comment.
