Hugh Bonneville 'joins celebrity dating app Raya' despite romance with Claire Rankin following his split from wife Lulu Williams


A spokesperson for the Downton Abbey star, 60, confirmed in September that he and his ex Lulu, who lived together for 25 years at their home in West Sussex, ended their marriage.

The actress, from Prince Edward Island, began acting in Shakespeare plays in the 90s and appeared on shows including Ally McBeal, Without A Trace and House. The actor, famous for his role as Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham, had never shied away from expressing his love for Lulu, having previously called her his 'bedrock' and 'anchor' and crediting his wife for being the backbone of their household. In previous interviews Bonneville claimed he was 'completely indebted' to his wife for the way she supported him throughout his career while looking after their son Felix, 20, who himself has enjoyed success on the screen.
