The man who won Daisy Edgar-Jones’ heart: Actress confirms romance with Anya Taylor-Joy’s ex-boyfriend Ben Seed as the couple shares a kiss while shopping
Anya Taylor-Joy’s photographer ex-boyfriend Ben Seed has captured Daisy Edgar-Jones’ heart.
The new couple confirmed their romance when they were spotted together for the first time in West London on Wednesday.
The photographer, who split from Queen’s Gambit star Taylor-Joy, 27, in 2021, accompanied Jones as they entered the Gucci store on Sloane Street.
Jones, 25, was seen hugging Seed as they shopped on the street in the area.
The British star looked relaxed in a cropped denim jacket and high-rise jeans as he showered the photographer with affection.

She completed her look with a pair of strappy flats, while a simple black handbag seemed to be her only standout accessory.
Seed looked equally relaxed in a plain white T-shirt and skinny jeans as he planted a kiss on his girlfriend’s head.
The Normal People actress is said to be on ‘cloud nine’ after starting a relationship with Seed, who goes by the stage name Pip.
He split with Taylor-Joy before she beat Jones for best actress at the 2021 Golden Globes.
The pair are said to have had a series of dates in London and have been seeing each other for months.
A source told The Sun: ‘Daisy and Pip got together earlier this year and have become inseparable.
‘They’ve both had some free time this summer and love hanging out at Broadway Market in East London, just going to bars and spending time together.
“There’s a real spark there and they’re excited to find each other. They’ve already met each other’s friends and she’s on cloud nine.’

Jones’ alleged new relationship comes after she split from ex Tom Varey in late 2020 after two years of dating.
While she is reportedly in a romance with Ben, Anya is in love with ‘husband’ Malcolm McRae.
Taylor-Joy and McRae were first spotted kissing in New York City in May 2021, just ahead of her hosting debut on Saturday Night Live.
Later that month, she spoke about having a partner in an interview with Elle, although she did not mention McRae by name.
They made their official red carpet debut at the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party in March 2022, just months before reports surfaced that they had secretly married.
Jones scored her breakout role in 2022, playing the lead role of Marianne in Sally Rooney’s Normal People opposite Paul Mescal as Connell.
The romantic drama, which was released on BBC Three in 2020, focused on the on-again, off-again relationship between Irish teenagers Marianne and Connell, from their school days to their time at university.
