It comes two years after they split, having struggled with their relationship during Covid lockdown.
They share a daughter Tallulah, now seven.
An onlooker said: "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."
The Sun revealed the couple split up in 2023 after eight years together and at the time a source said: "It's obviously very sad that the couple have gone their separate ways.
"But the relationship ran its course and they decided they would be better off apart.
"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.
'They will always treasure the time they had together and have many happy memories.

Newcastle-born Johnny, who spent time in LA writing soundtracks for Netflix and TV shows, is in a band called Tribes.
'Big romance'
Opening up about the love affair with Billie, Johnny said in 2019: 'It was a big romance. If you meet somebody like that it blows you over. This was who I wanted to be with. Every day she inspires me.
'I cannot stress enough how talented I think she is.
'I was a bit lost before but seeing what she can achieve in a day, the amount of meetings she takes and how she moves her life forward inspires me to work harder.
'She doesn't wait and see if things happen, she goes out and gets them. That's why she's so successful. It's awe-inspiring."
"She's ambitious, we both are.'
Johnny featured a heavily pregnant Billie cradling her baby bump on the cover of his 2019 solo album, Next Episode Starts in 15 Seconds.

He told how his partner had improved his life 'in so many ways'. She challenged me.
The singer said: '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.'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.'
The Doctor Who star was previously married to DJ Chris Evans, who was 17 years her senior.
The actress then married actor turned political activist Laurence Fox, 46, welcoming two sons Winston and Eugene before they split in 2016.
When Doctor Who was rebooted in 2005 Billie found huge success as the Time Lord's companion Rose Tyler — first alongside Christopher Eccleston and then with David Tennant.That led to a string of other roles, including the raunchy Secret Diary of a Call Girl.
She has been nominated for scores of awards, and in 2017 won an Olivier for best actress for her stage performance in Yerma.
She briefly dated fellow Doctor Who star Matt Smith in 2006.

Absolutely Everything You Need To Know About Love Island Star Sophie Lee
It's less than a week until Love Island is back on our screens for series twelve, and naturally everyone can't stop talking about the recently announced line-up. We've already been treated to a sneak peak of a trailer by host Maya Jama, which teased lots of new twists, plus a good dose of the usual drama, bombshells and breakups. What's more, 2025 will see Love Island celebrating its 10-year anniversary (how has it been that long?) One of the contestants taking part in series 12 of the show is former fire breather Sophie Lee, who people are predicting will make an impact in the villa. Sophie Lee is a former fire breather, influencer and motivational speaker. After suffering life-changing burns when she was 22, she has worked with Katie Piper's foundation and released a book in February last year, titled In My Skin. She has also developed a loyal social media following. At the time, she told her followers: 'It's been a difficult process being so open with the trauma I've faced and adversity I've had to overcome and to now be at a place of peace has not been easy,' continuing 'I hope that from sharing my experience of racial discrimination, feeling outcast throughout my life, battling depression and eventually reaching the process of surgery, it becomes a read that others find helpful in their own journeys.' Sophie Lee is 28, but she will reportedly be 29 when she enters the villa. Sophie Lee will be taking part in series 11 of Love Island. She will join the likes of personal trainer Aaron Buckett and influencer Megan Moore. According to a source quoted in The Sun, Sophie wants to appear on the show to advocate for body positivity. The source told the outlet: 'Sophie is a gorgeous girl and a powerhouse of a woman who has overcome everything life has thrown at her. Just like Tasha Ghouri's amazing time in the villa where she raised awareness for the hearing impaired, Love Island bosses are thrilled to give Sophie the same platform to discuss her accident and how she's become comfortable in her skin since.' They continued: 'Love Island has always tried to be about more than just looks and Sophie is a classic example of an Islander with real substance,' adding 'She's in the mix for this year's cast, with execs deciding soon if she will be in the original line-up or a bombshell.' When she was 22, Sophie was involved in a fire breathing accident in the US, which saw her suffer life-changing burns. The ordeal occurred in 2018 when an air conditioning unit blew flames into her face while she was performing at an event in Chicago. In an interview with The Sun, Sophie opened up about the terrifying experience. 'The air-con was too strong so when I blew the fire out it blew back to me. It set me on fire. I just remember being in so much pain, I blacked out for a little bit. It's crazy,' she said. 'It happened in front of everyone and I had to get on with it as professionally and quickly as I could. As soon as I got into the ambulance, I was in bits.' She added: 'That was a scary, scary time. I couldn't breathe by myself, I couldn't eat, I couldn't really see, it was scary. I was pretty out of it but on day two I looked in the mirror and just cried.' Sophie spent a month in intensive care in the US by herself while she was treated for the burns. She needed life support machines to help her breathe, and was in and out of consciousness. After the accident, Lucy also underwent keloid surgery on her face. She shared a video of her recovery on Instagram earlier this year, saying 'Although my tumour was benign and not cancerous, I had to endure stages of Chemo Injections as part of my treatment and I can first hand say that it was the hardest and most testing time of my life that I've ever experienced.' She added: 'I want to take this opportunity to wish all the families who have been affected by cancer my deepest love and prayers, I know how hard it is to remain hopeful during dark times of uncertainty. I'm grateful for all the support and love I have received from sharing my journey on this platform and I hope to continue to be a positive example that there is light at the end of the tunnel.' Yes!

Love Island: Why Was This Contestant Axed Before The Show Had Even Started?
The countdown to the new series of Love Island is officially underway, with the 12th season of the show airing on Monday. After weeks of speculation, the Love Island cast was officially revealed this week. However, one contestant has reportedly been dumped from the villa before the show has even begun. Just one day after the cast announcement, it was revealed that Kyle Ashman had been axed from the show after he was arrested on suspicion of a machete attack before being released without charge. A spokesperson for ITV shared the news, writing in a statement that Ashman would not be taking part in the 12th season of the show. 'For personal reasons, Kyle will not be entering the Love Island Villa as planned,' the statement read. Kyle has also responded to the news himself. He said: 'I fully cooperated with this police investigation and made it very clear that I had no involvement in this incident. I am not a violent person and any suggestion otherwise is a mischaracterisation.' According to reports in The Sun, the incident took place in February when 'masked thugs stormed a wake in Stafford and hacked at a dad' who 'nearly lost his arm.' Additionally, someone else was glassed, one struck with a metal pole, and two people were run over by a car. Ashman was one of two suspects questioned about the incident. 'This was a horrific attack which could have been even worse,' a source told The Sun. 'Ashman may have signed up to one of the biggest shows on TV with this hanging over his head.' According to insiders, ITV were unaware of the incident until the publication raised it, and it was not flagged as part of the contestant checks. Now, the decision has been made to part ways with Ashman. Other confirmed contestants for series 12 of Love island include former fire breather Sophie Lee and personal trainer Aaron Buckett.

New Disneyland attraction SLAMMED by Walt Disney's granddaughter who calls mechanical tribute to him a ‘robotic grampa'
Walt Disney's granddaughter says the tribute is 'dehumanizing' 'SOULLESS' DISNEY BOT New Disneyland attraction SLAMMED by Walt Disney's granddaughter who calls mechanical tribute to him a 'robotic grampa' WALT Disney's granddaughter has slammed the entertainment giant for turning its late founder into a 'robotic grampa'. Disney is unveiling an animatronic Walt Disney for Disneyland's 70th anniversary celebration this July - despite repeated protests from his granddaughter Joanna Miller. Advertisement 4 Joanna Miller, the granddaughter of Walt Disney, is against the company's plan to create an animatronic of their founder Credit: Getty 4 Miller says her grandpa would have hated being digitally revived - as pictured in an illustration of Walt Disney presenting a Disneyland model Credit: Disney 4 Pictured is an illustration of an animatronic Abraham Lincoln on a stage Credit: Disney Joanna Miller told the Los Angeles Times on Tuesday that her beloved grandfather would have hated being turned into a talking mechanical replica. 'I think I started crying,' she said, recalling the moment she first saw the figure. 'It didn't look like him to me.' Miller said she voiced her concerns early on, sending a letter to Disney CEO Bob Iger when the idea was first proposed. She said she later met with Iger and the team responsible for creating the attraction, telling him: 'I strongly feel the last two minutes with the robot will do much more harm than good to Grampa's legacy. Advertisement "They will remember the robot - and not the man.' Despite Iger being 'very kind" and despite his promises to protect her grandfather's legacy, she said her request that they scrap the animatronic was ultimately ignored. Miller told the LA Times she wasn't speaking on behalf of any family members except her grandfather and mother. She added that it 'pains' her to call out the very company he created. Advertisement In a Facebook post in November, Miller wrote that the company's "idea of a robotic grampa" made her feel "so so sad and disappointed". She explained: "The idea of a Robotic Grampa to give the public a feeling of who the living man was just makes no sense. "It would be an imposter. They are dehumanizing him. People are not replaceable." Disney announces brand new theme park She also argued that her late grandfather had "told Sam McKim that he never wanted to be an animatronic", claiming that she has been provided with first-hand proof to back this up. Advertisement The figure will appear in a new attraction called Walt Disney - A Magical Life, located in the park's Main Street Opera House. The proposal to show 'what it would be like to stop by Walt's office' was announced by Disney last year. The company said it would be "a fitting tribute" to the man who made "significant advances with Audio-Animatronics". Walt Disney co-founded The Walt Disney Company (originally called Disney Brothers Studio) in 1923, with his brother Roy O. Disney. Advertisement Walt is regarded as a pioneer of Audio-Animatronics, famously bringing Abraham Lincoln to life at the 1964 New York World's Fair. Josh D'Amaro, chair of Disney Experiences, told people at D23, the company's annual fan event: 'Creating our first Walt figure is an idea that's been whispered in the hallowed halls of imagineering for years, decades, even.' He added: 'We just had to wait for innovation to catch up with our dreams. And we're finally ready.' Disneyland California, which opened on July 17, 1955, will celebrate its 70th anniversary this July. Advertisement
