New lovers in town? Damian Lewis spotted on a 'hot date' with singer Alison Mosshart
A little over a year after losing his wife and 'Peaky Blinders' star Helen McCrory to breast cancer, actor-producer Damian Lewis was seen with rock singer Alison Mosshart. Having made appearances together thrice, they have got everyone wondering about their hot dates. Onlookers are convinced that they are indeed dating each other and have expressed their delight.
The news comes after 'Homeland' actor Lewis, 51, and The Kills lead vocalist Alison, 43, attended a fundraising party in London together, following two other public events, the most recent of which was the British GP. Damian, an ardent F1 follower, was seen embracing sports cars with Alison by his side on Sunday. They were also seen comfortably chatting on a London Overground and attended the Serpentine Gallery's annual summer party later that day.

Another passenger on the train told The Mail how they looked "100 per cent romantically involved–like they were on a hot date" and remarked that he was happy to see them together "after all he [Lewis] has been through".
Mosshart is the lead vocalist for The Kill and The Dead Weather. Popularly known by her stage names "VV" and "Baby Ruthless", she has also been heavily recognized for her iconic fashion choices on multiple occasions. Raised in Florida, she has residences in London and Tennessee as well. She had shifted to London during the initial years of her career with The Kills. While not much is known about her previous partners, Mosshart was in a relationship with The Kills guitarist Jamie Hince. Her brother, Mathew Mosshart, was previously engaged to Kelly Osbourne.
Lewis was popular for his characters in the TV series 'Billions' and 'Homeland.' After announcing his departure from the former, he will next be seen playing an MI6 officer in the cold war drama 'A Spy Among Friends.'
Damian and Helen had tied the knot in 2007 and kept McCroy's diagnosis under wraps until Lewis announced her death on social media last year. She was awarded the Order of the British Empire in 2017 and was known to have given stellar performances in both theatre and television. She left an illustrious career of 27 years behind her. Parents to two kids, Manon (15) and Gulliver (14), the couple had repeatedly partaken in several philanthropic acts and raised £1 million during the pandemic for a program targeted toward NHS staff workers. The family resided together in London and the teenagers live a relatively private life.
Helen had wished for Damian to find "new love" before she passed away in April last year. In a tribute to his wife for The Sunday Times, Lewis wrote that his wife told the entire family how she wanted "Daddy [Damian] to have girlfriends, lot of them." The news, therefore, comes as a wonderful surprise to their fans.
Neither of Mosshart's or Damian's representatives has confirmed the rumor of their relationship making the rounds.
