Damian Lewis makes a rare public appearance with new girlfriend Alison Mosshart as they shop in New York City – weeks after confirming romance
Damian Lewis made a rare appearance with new girlfriend Alison Mosshart in New York City on Thursday, little more than a month after confirming their relationship.
The actor has embarked on a new romance with the American musician following the tragic death of wife Helen McCrory to cancer in April 2021.
Stepping out for an infrequent public appearance with Mosshart in the city’s trendy SoHo district – an area famed for its boutiques and galleries – Lewis, 51, looked relaxed in a black polo shirt and stone coloured chinos.

Accompanying her boyfriend, Mosshart, 43, opted for a loose-fitting plaid shirt and leopard print trousers teamed with simple black canvas shoes.
Completing her grungy look with a pair of orange rimmed sunglasses, the musician ensured she caught the eye as they browsed stores in Lower Manhattan.
The couple are thought to have met through mutual friends while in London and have grown increasingly fond of one another, Mosshart’s mother Vivian, 76, told DailyMail.com.
Speaking exclusively from her home in Florida, she said: ‘I don’t know how much flak I’m going to get for all of this but of course we are excited for her.
‘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.’

Lewis and Mosshart were first photographed together in July at a swanky fundraising party for London’s National Gallery.
A fellow passenger who spotted the pair travelling to the event by train told The Mail on Sunday the two looked ‘100 per cent romantically involved – like they were on a hot date.’
They were seen again at the Serpentine Gallery’s annual summer party, one of the highlights of the British capital’s social season.
The pair were once more snapped at the British Formula One Grand Prix at Silverstone, with Alison taking to Instagram afterwards to write: ‘The absolute thrill. I’m still floating… at 200 miles per hour.’
They finally confirmed their relationship during an appearance at private members’ club The House of KOKO’s summer party in July, during which Lewis wore his wedding ring.
The couple were joined by The Kills guitarist Jamie Hince, the ex-husband of Kate Moss, as well as Ellie Goulding, film director Darren Strowger and singer Dionne Bromfield.

In a moving eulogy, Lewis further revealed how his late wife had urged him to find love again, telling him, their son Gulliver, 14, and daughter Manon, 15, not to dwell upon her passing.
‘Her generosity has extended to encouraging us three to live. Live fully, take opportunities, have adventures,’ he wrote.
‘She said to us from her bed, ‘I want Daddy to have girlfriends, lots of them, you must all love again, love isn’t possessive’.
‘But you know, Damian, try at least to get through the funeral without snogging someone.’
