Lily James and Pierson Fode's Cozy NYC Stroll: A New Rom-Com Bliss
EXCLUSIVE! Lily James Spotted Getting Cozy with Netflix Heartthrob Pierson Fode in New York City!
The British beauty, 36, is making headlines once again, this time with her new leading man, Pierson Fode, 33, as they were seen strolling hand-in-hand through the streets of New York City on Thursday. The Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again starlet and her Netflix rom-com co-star seemed to be enjoying each other's company, sparking rumors of a possible romance.
Pierson, who has been making waves with his charming performance in Netflix's new romantic comedy, The Wrong Paris, has a history of winning over hearts. He first rose to fame on Disney Channel's Jessie as Brooks Wentworth III in 2015 and landed his breakout role as Thomas Forrester on the long-running soap opera, The Bold and the Beautiful.
But it seems Lily, known for her iconic roles in Cinderella and Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again, has caught Pierson's eye. The two are currently working together on their new movie, Swiped, where Lily plays Bumble CEO and founder Whitney Wolfe Herd, while Pierson takes on the role of a love interest alongside Jackson White.
As they navigate their new roles, it seems Lily and Pierson have been spending plenty of time in the Big Apple for work and premieres. And judging by their adorable outing, they're getting to know each other quite well! A source close to the couple revealed that this was just a "day off" for them, and they were out celebrating the release of Swiped.
Swiped, which hit US screens on Hulu on September 19, has also been made available on Disney+ in the UK. And with its all-star cast, including Myha'la and Dan Stevens, it's no wonder Lily and Pierson are beaming with pride.
But what about their love lives? According to our sources, Pierson is currently single, having recently ended things with actress Saxon Sharbino in 2020. The two were spotted together at Coachella in 2022, but it's unclear if they're still an item. In fact, Pierson has been quite the ladies' man in the past!
He was previously linked to his Dancing With the Stars pro partner Sharna Burgess in 2017, and before that, he dated Victoria Justice from 2013 to 2015. But despite his string of high-profile relationships, Pierson never confirmed if he was actually dating any of these women.
Meanwhile, Lily has had her fair share of romance in the spotlight. She's been linked to actor Jack Fox (2011), Matt Smith (2014-2019), and even had a rumored fling with Chris Evans in 2020! But things got complicated when she got involved with musician Michael Shuman in 2021, and before that, she was embroiled in a highly publicized affair with Dominic West while filming The Pursuit of Love.
Now, it seems Pierson might be Lily's new leading man... or maybe even her next love interest? We reached out to Lily's representative for comment, but so far, no word has been received. One thing's for sure, though - the world is buzzing with excitement over this new pairing!
