A year on from splitting with former fiance Imogen Poots, James Norton appears rather smitten with a new model girlfriend 14 years his junior.
Norton has been dating aspiring artist and Prada model Charlotte Rose Smith for a ‘few months’, according to insiders, and yesterday they enjoyed a carefree stroll near his north London home.
Dressed in double denim and a trendy £20 pink Meow Wolf baseball cap, Norton appeared relaxed and happy with Ms Smith, 25 as friends said ‘they make a great couple’.
Norton, 39, famous for playing psychopathic Tommy Lee Royce in BBC One drama Happy Valley, split from actress Ms Poots last year after they had met on the set of another BBC classic, War And Peace, in 2017.
Despite getting engaged in 2022, Norton later admitted work commitments had taken their toll on his relationship with Ms Poots.
He added: ‘If the work starts to compromise one’s relationships, it can become unhealthy. Suddenly you realise you haven’t left any space for other people and so I was p***ed off with that.’
Reflecting on their break up in a recent interview, he said he ‘didn’t carry regret’, adding: ‘Some choices recently weren’t mine, yet I don’t feel begrudging. Maybe next year I’ll have a family and a relationship.’
