Damian Lewis and Alison Mosshart confirm romance a year after his wife's death

Homeland actor Damian Lewis and rocker Alison Mosshart seemingly confirmed their romance as they cosied up together at a private members' club summer party.

Damian, 51, was left heartbroken following the passing of his wife Helen McCrory, 52, with who he shares two sons, in April last year.

The Billions star and The Kills' Alison, 43, have been photographed at various swanky outings over the past couple of weeks, and put on a close display at The House of KOKO's summer event.

The pair smiled at the camera and appeared relaxed, with Alison's wrapping her arm around Damian's shoulder, as she leaned into him.

She wore a black blouse decorated with white stars, and dark trousers, accessorising the outfit with silver jewellery, while Damian donned a black t-shirt and dark trousers too.

The duo were joined by Alison's bandmate Jamie Hince, who used to be married to Kate Moss, as well as Ellie Goulding, singer Dionne Bromfield and film director Darren Strowger.

The pair's glam outing comes as Alison's mum Vivian gave the relationship her seal of approval.

Speaking to Mail Online, the singer's mum said: "'They have mutual friends. I don't know exactly how they met but I'm fine with it.

"If she's happy, we are happy. I'm yet to meet him but certainly I'd like to."

The mum revealed she was aware of Damian's tragic loss, but less familiar with his acting career.

"I think I've seen Billions a couple of times but normally we just watch movies. I heard he has a new show coming out but I haven't seen any of it," she said from her Florida home.

Recently the pair were seen travelling on the London overground train, smiling, and then at the Serpentine's Gallery annual summer party.

The have also been photographed at an event for London's National Gallery and this week were pictured at the British Formula One Grand Prix at Silverstone, also attended by Tom Cruise, Rylan Clark and other celebs.

Damian and Peaky Blinders actress Helen wed in 2007, and he paid a powerful tribute to his wife two days after news of her devastating death from breast cancer, was announced.

Announcing the death on Twitter, Damian stated that she had died "peacefully at home, surrounded by a wave of love from friends and family".

He added: "She died as she lived. Fearlessly. God we love her and know how lucky we are to have had her in our lives. She blazed so brightly. Go now, Little One, into the air, and thank you."

Meanwhile, Damian also paid tribute to his late wife earlier this year - nine months after her tragic death.

During a poetry performance at the National Theatre in January, the Billions star dedicated the event to the memory of Helen, and was visibly emotional as he spoke about the Peaky Blinders star.

“This evening is dedicated to her and it's perfect, because Helen loved the National Theatre,” Damian told the star-studded audience.

“One person whose thunder would absolutely not be stolen was Helen McCrory.”
