Lily James 'goes Instagram official' with rock star boyfriend Michael Shuman

Lily James has seemingly gone ‘Instagram official’ with her rock star boyfriend Michael Shuman after a year of dating.

The 32-year-old British actress was first linked to 36-year-old Queens of the Stone Age bassist Michael in February last year.

And it appears the pair’s romance is going strong as the former Downton Abbey star shared a string of breathtaking photographs on her social media channel.

Snaps captured Lily enjoying dramatic seaside views and romantic sunsets – while Michael featured in one of the snaps with his head turned away from the camera while looking out across a sunset-soaked ocean.

Lily shared the images on her own Instagram feed along with the caption: “Postcards from the edge” – including a white dove emoji.

Comments on the post were limited, but fellow British beauty Daisy Lowe replied, writing: “One of my most favourite places on the planet xxx enjoy sweetheart.”

While fellow British actress Gemma Chan reacted to the post with a single red heart emoji.

Lily and Michael were first linked last year when they were spotted smooching outside a hotel.

And while Lily neither tagged nor mentioned Michael directly in her post, fans are convinced it is the back of the rockers head that features in the collection of snaps and have speculated about it on social media.

Love moved fast for the couple last year as Michael was spotted string at Lily’s London home last March – and she reportedly met his parents the following month.

Lily is currently starring in explicit new television show Pam and Tommy which airs on Star via Disney+ in the UK.

The shocking drama explored the infamous sex tape that was made by Baywatch star Pamela Anderson and her now ex-husband Tommy Lee.

The tape was stolen by a disgruntled carpenter – with a dramatisation of the story surrounding the theft and sale of the tape including explicit sex scenes.

Speaking to Rolling Stone about the role, Lily said: “I felt the pressure of trying to do justice to this woman. What happened to her was so unprecedented and so wrong.”

Meanwhile, Pamela is said to be frustrated that the show has gone ahead – glamorising her past trauma.

While music icon Courtney Love hit out at the show as she defended her friend Pamela.

She wrote on Instagram last year: "When Pam / Tommy sex tape was out / myself @pattyschemel @xmadmx were making a record.

"And the lone women in many recording studios in LA. Where all / ALL! The staff engineers / producers / owners / were watching the sex tape with huge schadenfraude.. Guffaws, It was disgusting. I banned anyone discussing it.. It destroyed my friend Pamelas life. Utterly."

She added: "My heart goes out to Pammy further causing her complex trauma. And shame on Lily James whoever the f— she is. #vile.”
