The couple initially met at a warehouse party in London and bonded over their shared love of music.
The couple tied the knot six months later in a three-day Indian wedding in 2009 which Anita had previously described as 'bonkers'.
Now, the single star has been seen with a mystery man looking cosy, as they attended a gig.
The TV star was seen watching Lankum and Mogwai at South Facing Festival in Crystal Palace park.
The star rocked a casual look in a pink and red striped top and shorts, and was pictured walking besides a man in a denim top, appearing to hold hands.
A source told The Sun: 'Anita and this bloke were clearly very close and more than just friends - she was wrapped around him in the VIP area then they walked off into the crowd together looking really happy.'
Anita's rep had no comment when approached by The Sun.
She had previously called being single 'uncharted territory' when the couple first split.
With their busy work schedules said to be a contributing factor, she moved into her former London flat purchased 20 years prior.

At the time she was juggling a jam-packed work schedule, which included the launch of her debut novel, Baby Does A Runner, about a British Asian woman in search of her identity, in July 2023.
When the news broke she told The Sun at the time: "It's liberating that people know that I'm single now."
"Not everything works out. Things come to their natural conclusion. That is absolutely fine."
She also said at the time that there was 'no shame' in being single and living your best life in your 40s.
"There is light, and the light is good!"
"I'm single. I'm child-free, I'm in my mid-40s and I have never felt better, sexier, more powerful or more excited about the future."
She also told how she was paying attention to her own needs: "I'm just making sure I take time out to do things I want to do."
"I'm very aware that, with the things I want to do in life, I'd quite like to do them now and not wait."
"I kind of live by the mantra of 'life is too short'."
She continued: "This is a new chapter in my life but I'm ready to open that book and see what's in store for me because the future is exciting."
"My philosophy is 'the best is yet to come'."

Strictly staffer claims they were 'offered cocaine by show star' in new scandal
The as-of-late scandal-ridden Strictly Come Dancing faces a new crisis after a longtime worker claimed they were offered drugs by a star. The BBC reality series reportedly launched an external probe to investigate cocaine use by two stars earlier this month, as well as claims that a star was drinking on the show. In the latest turn of events, a whistleblower who worked behind-the-scenes on the show for a decade until 2023 has said he witnessed 'partying at Elsetree studio after live filming. The worker, who accuses an unnamed star of offering them cocaine, added that the cast and crew were 'drinking and taking drugs', with bags of white powder suspected to be cocaine found in a smoking area and the men's toilet on two separate occasions. The incident in which this crew member was offered cocaine occurred at a Blackpool show after-party, all per The Sun.

The source said: 'The main partying is on site at Elstree after filming of the live show has finished. Boozing and drug taking goes on until 3am, sometimes 4am. 'I remember a bag of cocaine was found in the outside smoking area at Elstree and handed in to a senior producer. That person said, 'Leave it on my desk', no eyebrows were raised. 'On another occasion, a small bag of cocaine was found in the male toilets at Elstree. It was widely discussed by people working on the show. 'But in some ways it was seen as quite normal, to find that sort of thing. 'People think they can get away with it. In a statement responding to the latest allegations, a spokesperson for the national broadcaster said: 'We have clear protocols and policies in place for dealing with any serious complaint raised with us. 'We would always encourage people to speak to us if they have concerns. In recent reports, the publication claimed a celebrity from the show had said it was 'well known on the show that two stars took cocaine . . . it was talked about widely among the cast'. This brewing trouble comes just weeks before the popular dancing competition returns to screens for its 23rd season toward the end of September. More Trending The show faced plenty of issues last year after it was pro dancers Giovanni Pernice and Graziano Di Prima exited amid accusations of bad behaviour from former famous partners Amanda Abbington and Zara McDermott, respectively. The pair have now been replaced with Alexis Warr and Julian Caillonwhen in a shake-up of the pros line-up.

'Captivating' 90s TV drama with a 'rich cast' is available to stream and fans are loving it
'Captivating' 90s TV drama with a 'rich cast' is available to stream and fans are loving it The BBC drama This Life was first broadcast in 1996 and ran for two series and 33 episodes, but it is still considered a classic by fans and has been hailed as the 'best British TV drama ever' Fans are hailing This Life 'the best British TV drama ever' (Image: BBC) Iconic 90s TV drama This Life that had everyone talking around the office water cooler at the time has made a comeback on Amazon Prime. This Life, which first aired in 1996 and spanned 33 episodes over just two series, was included in BFI's list of the 100 greatest British television programmes and has been lauded by fans as the 'best British TV drama ever'. The hard-hitting BBC drama revolves around a group of law graduates in their twenties, embarking on their professional journeys whilst cohabiting in a house in south London. There are no courtroom scenes and instead the drama focuses on their personal lives, encompassing everything from infidelity to addiction. Among the cast members is Andrew Lincoln, who has since enjoyed a successful career in Teachers, Afterlife, The Walking Dead and the film Love, Actually. He will soon be appearing in the new ITV series Coldwater alongside Welsh star Eve Myles. The housemates were embroiled in plenty of drama (Image: BBC) His co-star Jack Davenport has also found success in the Matt Damon film The Talented Mr Ripley, Pirates of the Caribbean and TV series like Coupling and Smash, reports the Mirror. This Life centres on five main characters sharing a home - Edgar 'Egg' Cooke (Lincoln) and his girlfriend Milly (Amita Dhiri), alongside party girl Anna Forbes (Daniela Nardini), her university ex Myles Stewart (Davenport) and Welshman Warren Jones (Jason Hughes), who was grappling with his sexuality. The cast also features Ramon Tikaram (Virdie) as Ferdy, Natasha Little as Rachel, Steven John Shepherd (Karen Pirie) as Jo and Luisa Bradshaw-White (EastEnders) ad Kira. The programme, conceived by Amy Jenkins, evolved into a beloved word-of-mouth sensation and secured its place on the BFI's list of the 100 greatest British television programmes. This Life started in 1996 and spanned 33 episodes (Image: BBC) In 2007 there was a special episode, This Life: 10 Years On, which reunited the main cast and explored their lives a decade after the series ended. The reunion special, centring on Ferdy's death and the resulting gathering of former housemates, attracted 3.5 million viewers. Despite being three decades old and originating from an era long before social media existed, fans are now discovering episodes through streaming platforms and have been flocking to IMDb to share their reactions. One viewer commented: "I still hold firmly to the belief that the last episode of this landmark show is the best 40 mins of British TV drama ever. Any number of storylines coming sharply to a head, the terrific wedding reception with its toilet sex and terrible dancing, darkest secrets coming horrifyingly to light and the legendary punch. "But how sad! If we'd known then that there would never be another series we would have stormed the BBC ourselves. But think positive. The show is endlessly rewatchable, and its influence has lived on in Queer as Folk, Attachments, Teachers, Metropolis, Tinsel Town and most contemporary drama since. Just please, please publish the damn scripts!" The BBC series aired from 1996 to 1997 (Image: BBC) Another said: "Move over Friends this is your more intelligent English big brother. A perfect picture of 90s London through the eyes of young professionals and ordinary blokes and girls. A few cheesy performances by Tikarum but it sort of worked at the time much like the Fonz worked in Happy days at the time. Not a poor performance from a rich cast that all went in to achieve memorable careers. This is a collectors piece for those who lived through and experienced the era in London. Nostalgic and immersive TV." A third added: "Watching This Life almost 30 years after its release is an interesting experience. Although its format has been much copied since the late 90s, it still retains the same freshness and vitality that made it such a captivating watch first time round. "The success of the series stems from the fact that it feels so real. Each of the characters is impressively three-dimensional, with both strengths and weaknesses. They're at that interesting stage of their lives where they're finding their way in the world while also trying to find themselves, and each of them makes some understandable mistakes along the way."

Olly Murs shares the reason he can now 'relate to his mum's sadness' over his 15-year estrangement from his twin brother Ben
Olly Murs has revealed that becoming a parent has helped him to 'relate to his mum's sadness' over his estrangement from his twin brother Ben. The singer, 40, has not spoken to his sibling since he missed his wedding in late 2009 to take part in The X Factor semi-finals. And in a joint interview with his wife Amelia for The Sunday Times Magazine, Olly shared that since they welcomed their first child, daughter Madison, last year, he's had greater understanding of the impact the fall-out had on the family. He said: 'Now I'm a parent I can relate more to my mum's sadness that my twin brother, Ben, and I have been estranged since 2009, though I've got nothing but love and respect for him.' 'This year I've been on tour and I've got a new album out later in 2025. I joined Robbie Williams on stage in June and it was great to catch up with him — he's been like a big brother to me over the years.' Olly and Amelia are set to welcome their second child together later this year, after tying the knot in 2023. The singer added that he's planning to be much more present this time around, after leaving home just days after Madison's birth to support Take That on tour. He said: 'Two days after Madison was born I had to go on tour supporting Take That. Amelia had lots of support around her as her mum came to stay and my parents live near us in Essex, but it was hard and I felt guilty. 'We both understand that my work isn't like a regular job — but second time round I'm not going anywhere.' The Dear Darling hitmaker previously shared the long-term impact his fall-out with his brother has had on him, admitting he 'struggles with loneliness.' He told The Times last year: 'When you've been in the womb with someone, you struggle with loneliness. I had to deal with it when my twin and I went on our separate lives. 'I was desperate to be around people, could not sit in a room alone.' At the time, Olly did not give any indication of whether he and his brother will ever be on speaking terms again but did share that his life goal is now to be the best husband and father he can be. He added: 'My aim in life is to be a great husband and father - that's where my future lies. I'd love my career to continue as it is, but when you get married and become a dad, you just want to be the best for them.' In a joint interview with his wife Amelia, Olly shared that since they welcomed their first child last year, he's had greater understanding of the impact the fall-out had on the family Following the fall-out, Ben also distanced himself from his parents and their sister. On their feud, Ben told Daily Mail in January 2017: 'I was very close to my parents, but fame and greed changed everything. 'My parents wanted this bright, shiny Olly with the money who can give them the VIP lifestyle. They liked hanging around with Simon Cowell, or going to Bon Jovi concerts – they loved their VIP selfies. 'I'm not interested in anything like that, I have a lovely life with my wife and kids.' But Olly is still keen to make amends with his brother at some point. On burying the hatchet, the media personality explained: 'I still want to make that change with my brother.' Asked by Lorraine Kelly in 2018 if he though the rift could ever heal, Olly said: 'I hope so, of course, it's mad because every year I think about it, (will it be) nine years, 10 years. 'I did text him for his birthday but he changed his number. Christmas has never been the same.'
