It was recently reported that Lily had rekindled her romance with Matt Smith, 37, during lockdown, after they were thought to have split in December.

The couple had been dating for five years but reportedly went their separate ways due to her discomfort over his ‘friendship with female stars.’ 

A source told The Sun: ‘Matt and Lily’s break-up was mostly because their hectic schedules meant they could barely see each other. They kept the house together when they split because they were both barely around. But when lockdown began, they ended up isolating together.

‘Being in the house and having no work and distractions has allowed them to reconnect and get back to a good place.

‘There is such an amazing chemistry between them and they make a wonderful couple.

‘It’s what their friends had all hoped would happen because they do make each other so happy and their split happened because they were just too busy to see each other.’ 

Chris’ last known relationship meanwhile was with American actress Jenny Slate. The pair had an on/off romance for two years, eventually splitting in March 2018, according to a New York Times interview where Evans said his relationship with Slate had ‘recently ended.’

In a May 2019 interview with Men’s Journal, the Hollywood star revealed he’s ready to get married and start a family. 

‘I want a wife, I want kids,’ he said. ‘I like ceremony. I want to carve pumpkins and decorate Christmas trees and sh*t like that.’
