Hannah Waddingham and her boyfriend Nick Beresford-Cleary made their red carpet debut on Wednesday evening at the Variety Power of Women: London event. The Ted Lasso actress, 51, was joined by her spinal surgeon partner, marking their first public appearance as a couple.
Hannah wore a black sleeveless dress with a plunging neckline and high-leg split, accessorised with black drop earrings and her platinum blonde hair styled in an updo. Nick looked dapper in a black tuxedo with a matching bow tie. The couple, first seen together at the Cheltenham Festival in March, smiled as they posed for photos.
Hannah was previously in a decade-long relationship with Italian businessman Gianluca Cugnetto, with whom she shares daughter Kitty, born in 2014. The couple split two years later. The star told Women's Health UK she was ready to date again after focusing on raising her daughter: 'It's taken me eight years. I didn't really have the space mentally or emotionally for that.'
In 2024, Hannah appeared on the Table For Two podcast, describing her love life as 'a bit dry' and admitting she was 'so busy' and 'a bit picky'. She expressed a desire for a partner who would 'scoop me up' and be a 'lovely positive, charismatic soul'.
Nick's physician biography highlights his expertise in adult spinal surgery, including degenerative pathologies, spinal trauma, oncology, and deformity. He is described as a 'strong advocate of patient empowerment' with extensive experience in robotics and navigation in spinal surgery.
