Comedy icon Lenny Henry put on a loved-up display with his girlfriend Lisa Makin during a rare outing together at Wimbledon. The couple were among the many famous faces who appeared in the Royal Box on the centre court during the annual tournament.
They were among the likes of David Beckham, Andrew Garfield, Bear Grylls, Celia Imrie and Deborah Meaden to watch the tense games. Lenny and Lisa also shared a similar sense of fashion, as they coordinated to perfection as they posed for photos outside the court. The Broadchurch star styled his smart two-piece suit look with a red striped tie and a pistachio green shirt, adding a trendy pair of white-rimmed sunglasses.
His glasses perfectly matched his long-time partner's, while Lisa looked even more stylish in a grey suit jacket and matching trousers.
Alongside a low-cut white blouse underneath, the theatre director also completed her look with round-framed sunglasses. As well as a simple gold necklace, she added a pop of colour with some complementary orange lipstick.
The couple was all smiles and looked cosy together as they put on a loved-up display, posing close together, with Lenny sweetly wrapping his arms around Lisa.
Once they got into the royal box, the comedian swapped his glasses for clear frames, and together they were joined by funnyman Michael McIntyre, who seemingly kept the jokes flowing all afternoon as the trio were photographed in deep laughter.
Lenny and Lisa began dating two years after his highly publicised divorce from Vicar of Dibley’s Dawn French.
Despite being one of the most iconic British couples in comedy, the pair parted ways amicably in 2010 after 25 years of marriage and throughout the years, they have remained on good terms as they share a daughter, Billie, whom they adopted in 1991.
Dawn previously told the Mirror that her marriage to Lenny was "very happy" and has seamlessly shifted into a "lasting friendship.”
She explained: "Remarkably, we seem to have shifted with relative ease from a 25-year marriage to a lasting friendship. I am amazed by us. There is no war, we've turned out to be the best of friends. There were lots of good years but one tricky last year.”
