Billie Piper 'rekindles relationship with ex boyfriend Johnny Lloyd as they're spotted kissing during family outing with their daughter at London pub'

Daily Mail​2 days ago

Billie Piper has rekindled her relationship with ex boyfriend Johnny Lloyd, according to a new report.
The actress, who made her sensational return to Doctor Who on Saturday night, confirmed she had split from musician Johnny, who is frontman of the band Tribes, in March 2024 after eight years together.
But fans have now spotted the exes kissing during an outing last week with their daughter Tallulah, seven, at a London pub.
The family were enjoying a country music gig on Thursday at a Notting Hill bar, with Billie, 42, spotted beaming as she and Johnny, 39, chatted to friends outside.
An onlooker told The Sun: 'Billie and Johnny were all over each other. They looked really cute together. Billie beamed as their daughter Tallulah sat on her lap.
'Billie rested her elbow on Johnny's shoulder as the band belted out country music covers - they all looked blissfully happy.

'The family trio left around 8, thanking the band with handshakes and kisses as they left the venue.'
Representatives for Billie and Johnny have been contacted by MailOnline for comment.
In March 2024 Billie confirmed her split from Johnny following an eight-year romance.
Sources had said that 'like many couples, lockdown was quite tough for them, so they have had time to really think about what they want their future to look like.'
In a British Vogue spread, the actress confirmed they had separated but did not reveal any further details other than her three-word verdict on Johnny, calling him a 'very good man.'
Billie and Johnny welcomed their daughter Tallulah in January 2019 after it was confirmed in July 2018 that Billie was expecting her first child with the rocker.
The couple ex first met at the Boogaloo pub on London's Archway Road in 2016.
In April 2019, Johnny revealed that a lot of his success was down to Billie's support as she helped him get to the end of a sometimes bumpy journey.
When they met the attraction was reportedly instant and mutual.
'She challenged me. She kept asking me questions like, What's your five-year plan? Where are you headed musically? And telling me I had to be accountable for everything I did,' he said
'I felt my head had been stuck in this way of just thinking next job, next tour and I wanted to keep talking to her. Luckily she felt the same way about me.
'She's made my life better in so many ways and I just feel I now know who I am, I know what I can do, I know where I want to be. And that's with her.'
Billie was previously married to DJ Chris Evans, whom she famously wed when she was 18 and he was 35.
She shocked fans when it emerged they had tied the knot in a casual Las Vegas wedding in 2001 - with just six guests - and just a year after meeting on Chris' TV show TFI Friday.
She later admitted to being 'completely hammered for three years' during their marriage and split from Chris in 2004. The divorce was finalised in 2007.
Following her marriage to Chris, Billie tied the knot again with controversial activist Laurence Fox in 2007. She was granted a 'quickie' divorce from him in 2016.
The actress shares sons Winston and Eugene with the controversial activist and the pair were embroiled in a lengthy custody dispute after their split.
Speaking about how past trauma impacted her relationships, Billie mused in her Vogue 2024 interview: 'It's coming out of your 20s, there's enough stuff in your life to look over and go, "Oh, that's been a pattern of behaviour."
'There was a point where I realised I had been drawn into siding with men on a lot of things. I became incredibly frustrated and angry about that.
'I felt very unhinged in my early 30s and kind of mentally not well. There was something very, very sobering about that time and letting go of people that weren't very healthy for me. Unfortunately, a lot of that has been in relation to men I suppose.'
She added that finding fame at a young age and working in a male-dominated music industry also impacted her love life.
'Sometimes I wanted to appeal to them, so that I could feel safe. Sometimes I wanted to be them because it looked like they were having a better time than I was', Billie explained.
'It was a period of time in the 1990s where it was just very, very male heavy. I felt a huge amount of frustration about that and I carried that into my romantic relationships.'
Billie is on a career high, shocking fans with her return to Doctor Who in a surprise appearance for the series finale on Saturday night.
In 2020 Billie starred in the critically acclaimed Sky series, I Hate Suzie.
She then landed a lead part in the 2024 Netflix drama Scoop, a dramatic retelling of the process of securing and filming the 2019 Prince Andrew interview with Newsnight.
The series was praised by viewers and critics alike, with a whopping 2.75 million households tuning in for the first week alone and Billie also secured a TV BAFTA nomination for her role.
That same year, she starred in another Netflix series, Kaos - a contemporary re-imagining of Greek mythology - where she played prophetess Cassandra.
Next up is a part in Netflix megahit Wednesday, as Isadora Capri, Nevermor Academy's new head of music.
Billie will then be kept busy filming for Doctor Who after the jaw-dropping finale saw her unveiled as the next incarnation of the Time Lord.
The actress is well-known to longtime Who fans, having previously played The Doctor's companion Rose Tyler, and The Moment interface in the show's 50th Anniversary Special.
Ncuti Gatwa became the 15th Doctor in 2023 but during Saturday's episode it appeared that Ncuti's Doctor, had regenerated into Billie, with her first words being: 'Oh hello!'
Billie will now be the second woman to take on the role as the Time Lord after Jodie Whittaker portrayed the 13th doctor.
However, while her reveal understandably sparked a huge frenzy on social media, others have been quick to spot one key problem with her regeneration, following Ncuti Gatwa's long-speculated exit from the show.

STEPHEN GLOVER: By not stopping the boats, Starmer is signing his political death warrant. But there IS one solution, if only he's brave enough

Let's assume Sir Keir Starmer wants to win the next election. Let's also assume he has no desire to be replaced as Prime Minister in the next year or so by Wes Streeting or or anyone else. He's a politician, after all, and politicians relish power – Starmer more than most, I would think. I also suggest that he's at least averagely intelligent, and should be able to weigh up the chances of any policy succeeding.
