They were first spotted heading to a hotel after partying into the early hours at a private members’ club together on Saturday.

And Lily James and Chris Evans were seen enjoying an outing in a London park on Wednesday, the pair tucked into some ice cream as they fawned over each other as they lounged on the grass together.

The Mamma Mia actress, 31, and Captain America star, 39, appeared cosy as they chatted together during their day out, it had been rumoured that Lily was working on her long-term romance with Matt Smith, 37. 

Lily kept things casual for the occasion as she paired a cosy white cardigan with a pink logo T-shirt, which she wore tucked into a pair of black denim jeans.

Her ensemble was cinched at the waist with a statement belt to accentuate her slender figure, and she covered her face with a light blue scarf amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Matching his companion, Chris also chose to wear a face mask which had the logo for American Football team the New England Patriots printed on the front.

The Avengers’ star opted for a casual look for the occasion as he donned a white-and-blue baseball top over black jeans, while he kept a low profile by wearing a pair of shades. 

On Saturday, Lily had been seen heading to London hotel, The Corinthia, in the same taxi as him, after partying into the early hours at private members’ venue, Mark’s Club in Mayfair just before 1am.

It was recently reported that Lily had rekindled her romance with former flame Matt Smith during lockdown, after they were thought to have split in December.

The couple had been dating for five years but reportedly went their separate ways due to her discomfort over his ‘friendship with female stars.’ 

A source told The Sun: ‘Matt and Lily’s break-up was mostly because their hectic schedules meant they could barely see each other. They kept the house together when they split because they were both barely around. But when lockdown began, they ended up isolating together.

‘Being in the house and having no work and distractions has allowed them to reconnect and get back to a good place.

‘There is such an amazing chemistry between them and they make a wonderful couple.

‘It’s what their friends had all hoped would happen because they do make each other so happy and their split happened because they were just too busy to see each other.’ 

Chris’ last known relationship meanwhile was with American actress Jenny Slate. The pair had an on/off romance for two years, eventually splitting in March 2018, according to a New York Times interview where Evans said his relationship with Slate had ‘recently ended.’

In a May 2019 interview with Men’s Journal, the Hollywood star revealed he’s ready to get married and start a family. 

‘I want a wife, I want kids,’ he said. ‘I like ceremony. I want to carve pumpkins and decorate Christmas trees and sh*t like that.’
