Bobby Brazier can't hide his smile as he leaves National Film Awards with his ex girlfriend Tillie Amartey after new twist in family feud with dad Jeff
Bobby Brazier enjoyed a glam reunion with his ex girlfriend Tillie Amartey at the National Film Awards on Wednesday night. The EastEnders actor, 22, couldn't hide his smile as he left London's Porchester Hall with the Waterloo Road actress after the glittering ceremony. The on/off couple were last spotted together on their Instagram Stories in August 2021, with a source saying they ended their relationship in March 2022. Tillie, 22, looked gorgeous in a black halter-neck dress for the awards do, whilst Bobby spruced up in a dapper tux. A beaming Bobby led the way through the crowded party exit before the pair were spotted strolling close together to a waiting car. While they haven't been romantically linked for three years, Bobby and Tillie have remained close since their break up. Throughout his Strictly experience the EastEnders actor was said to be 'constantly messaging' Tillie. Insiders revealed in October 2023, during Bobby's Strictly sint, that he was 'besotted' with his ex. A source told The Mirror that he was doing all the running and was keen for a reconciliation with his on/off love: 'Bobby was really keen on her, but she decided to call time on the relationship, feeling they weren't compatible.' 'There was no big row and, as they have always been on/off, Bobby hasn't given up.' They added: 'He is doing all the running at the moment. Bobby is messaging Tillie constantly in between rehearsals and has also asked her to the Strictly studio. 'Tillie does really like him, but she is based in Manchester and hasn't decided if she will come down to see him.' Fast forward to December 2023 and Bobby sent Tillie his Strictly advice ahead of her appearance in the show's Christmas Day special. After his split from Tillie, Bobby was linked to glamorous fashion stylist Sienna Penman, as the pair snuggled up a day after the Strictly final. He has also been linked to fashion consultant Boadecia Evans. Most recently he was said to be dating singer Virginia Hampson, with the pair pictured packing on the PDA last summer. Bobby and Tillie's reunion comes after a new twist in the Brazier family feud saw it revealed that relations between the actor and his dad Jeff had become strained. Last month Jeff's youngest son Freddy told of his own bitter fall-out with his father. Bobby has recently been immersing himself in daily spiritual rituals, chanting mantras, preparing communal meals at Hare Krishna HQ in Soho, London. The Mail revealed that Bobby has turned to the organisation – which follows a branch of the Hindu faith – after relations became strained between him and his father, TV presenter Jeff. So difficult did things become between the pair that Bobby moved out of Jeff's Essex home into his own Soho apartment, which is near to the Hare Krishna temple. Jeff, resident parental expert on ITV 's This Morning, had cheered on his son for all his worth every week at Strictly. He also told Strictly viewers how strong their relationship was. But in truth, communication between the two has been scant. Meanwhile Freddy's difficulties with his father were apparently heightened when he tried to deepen his relationship with his grandmother, Jade's mum Jackiey Budden. Freddy, who starred with his dad on BBC1 show Celebrity Race Across The World, currently lives with his grandmother, despite his father's objections. The 20-year-old also admitted to smoking cannabis with his grandmother. While Freddy's rebellion is public, noisy and erratic, Bobby's is the polar opposite – yet perhaps no less hurtful for his father. Friends revealed to the Mail that Bobby, although no wild child, has been just as happy to push away his relatives as Freddy. Those relatives include Jeff's wife Kate Dwyer – who both boys have had 'ups and downs' with, according to those who know the family. And while Bobby may not be trading insults with his dad publicly, like his younger brother, he is also seeking to distance himself from Jeff, who Freddy accused of being controlling. A source close to the family said: 'Bobby's always had a spiritual side, but this is intentional. It's clear he's trying to leave all the fighting and noise behind. 'Freddy's rebellion is loud – drugs, public slanging matches and legal battles about his nana – while Bobby's is quiet. But actually it's just as defiant. 'He's turning his back on the life his Dad created for them in Essex and following his own path.'
