Benjamin Clementine, the Mercury Prize-winning singer who now stars in Netflix's The Gentlemen, has found love with Hollywood actress Lana Parrilla following the collapse of his marriage to musician Flo Morrissey earlier this year.

Clementine, 37, and Parrilla, 49, who stars in the hit US fantasy series Once Upon a Time alongside Jamie Dornan and Robert Carlyle, made their red-carpet debut together this week at the season two premiere of The Gentlemen, in which Clementine plays a former soldier called Nanny.

A source close to the couple confirmed they started seeing each other earlier this year. "Benjamin is serious about her and he's already introduced her to his children. He's very happy," the source said.

The couple have been linked since mid-2026, having been seen together at a number of high-profile events, including the Ralph Lauren Men's Collections Show in Milan in June.

At this week's premiere, Clementine and Parrilla held hands as they posed together for photographs. Clementine wore a black suit with a rollneck jumper, while Parrilla, who was born in Brooklyn, wore a floor-length black gown with lace detailing.

Who is Lana Parrilla

Parrilla is best known for playing the Evil Queen, Regina Mills, in Once Upon a Time, the ABC fantasy drama that ran for seven seasons. She divorced her ex-husband, software executive Fred Di Blasio, in 2018 after four years of marriage.

Split from Flo Morrissey

Clementine's split from Morrissey, 31, the mother of his two children, was first reported in January, when she confirmed that the pair had divorced after almost seven years of marriage.

Morrissey is the daughter of Dame Helena Morrissey, known as the "City Superwoman" for her career in the finance industry.

"It feels right for me to not hide that I got divorced," Morrissey told the Daily Mail's Richard Eden at the time. "As we all know, life and time can hold many truths at once. Both wonderful and terribly hard things happen."

A shared musical history

Morrissey, full name Florence Elizabeth J. Clementine, began dating Benjamin in 2016. The pair also performed together as a duo called The Clementines. Clementine's debut album, At Least for Now, won the Mercury Prize in 2015.

In a 2017 interview with the Evening Standard, Clementine spoke of Morrissey's understanding of his individuality as a fellow artist. "Luckily the person I'm with understands because they're an artist themselves," he said. "I used to think I'd be better off being with somebody who wasn't an artist. But that's a lie."

The couple welcomed their first child, Julian Jupiter Richard Sainte-Clementine, on Morrissey's birthday, Christmas Day, in 2017. They married in August 2018, with Morrissey wearing a white gown by sustainable womenswear designer Lisa Redman and a crown created by artist Maggie Lochtenberg. Their daughter, Helena, named after her grandmother, was born in October 2019.

Clementine and Morrissey's divorce is now finalised, with Clementine publicly moving on in his relationship with Parrilla.
