Kaya Scodelario has gone public with her new romance with director Eran Creevy – two years after going through a painful divorce. The 34-year-old Skins star was previously married to American actor Benjamin Walker, 44 – with whom she shares two young children.
But now the TV star has found love again – with an ‘office’ romance that has blossomed into public view. Kaya, who plays crime lord Susie Glass in Guy Ritchie’s gritty Netflix drama The Gentlemen, reportedly fell for each other after meeting on the set of the crime drama.
While Kaya is a main character in the show, Eran has directed a number of episodes of the series – which returns next month for a second season. And it appears that the couple have been proudly, and yet coyly, hyping up their romance.
Last month, Eran shared a snap of himself kissing Kaya at an open air concert in North London and sharing it via Instagram. Social media users noticed that Kaya herself re-posted the snap – before it was quickly deleted. But now a report has confirmed the couple are an item.
A source told The Sun: “Eran and Kaya are in the early stages of a relationship and have seen their romance blossom over the summer. There is speculation that they may make their red carpet debut together at The Gentlemen premiere next week.”
The Mirror has contacted representatives of the pair for comment. While a red carpet debut may be on the horizon, The Gentlemen premiere would not be the first major event that Kaya and Eran have attended together.
Last month, the duo arrived hand in hand at Wimbledon – and even gave off strong couple energy as they rocked up at the sporting event in matching his n hers outfits. The pair looked in high spirits as they walked together with beaming smiles on their faces.
The happy scenes come two years after Kaya’s marriage to American actor Ben came to a crashing end.
The former couple originally met in April 2014 on the set of the movie The King’s Daughter which they both starred in. The film itself was not released until 2022 due to a combination of needing more time for CGI effects and various deals falling through with distribution companies.
The film was released seven years after Kaya and Ben’s 2015 marriage – and during that time they also welcomed a son, born in November 2016, and a daughter, born in December 2021. In February 2024, the couple announced their separation and their divorce was finalised later that year.
In a joint statement released at the time, Kaya and Ben confirmed their separation: “Some time ago Kaya and Ben made the joint decision to end their marriage but continue to co-parent lovingly whilst remaining the best of friends.
“They ask that their privacy as well as that of their children’s remain respected as they continue to move forward as a family.” Ben had previously been married to Mamie Gummer – the daughter of Meryl Streep and Don Gummer – which lasted from 2011 until 2013.
The Gentlemen is set for release via Netflix on 3 September. The TV series is a spin-off of Guy Ritchie’s 2019 film of the same name. The series follows Theo James’s character Edward ‘Eddie’ Horniman as leader of a high-class British crime and cannabis empire.
