Irish actress and writer Sharon Horgan, best known for her hit series Catastrophe, has seemingly moved on from her split with The Charlatans' frontman Tim Burgess. The 53-year-old star was recently spotted enjoying a romantic stroll with actor Barry Ward, sparking rumours of a new relationship.
The pair were photographed looking cosy in London, laughing and chatting as they walked side by side. Ward, 46, known for his roles in Jimmy's Hall and White Lines, appeared smitten with the talented Horgan.
A Fresh Start After Heartbreak
Horgan's new romance comes just months after her split from Burgess, 56, which was confirmed earlier this year. The musician and TV personality had been dating since 2021 after meeting through mutual friends in the entertainment industry.
Sources close to the couple suggested their busy schedules ultimately led to the breakup, with Burgess frequently touring with his band while Horgan juggled multiple acting and writing projects.
From Co-Stars to Couple?
Interestingly, Horgan and Ward previously worked together on the 2019 comedy series This Way Up, which Horgan co-wrote and starred in. While their characters didn't share romantic scenes, their off-screen chemistry appears to have blossomed since.
Fans have been quick to share their support for the potential new couple on social media, with many praising their pairing as "perfectly matched" given their shared Irish roots and creative backgrounds.
Neither Horgan nor Ward have publicly commented on the nature of their relationship, leaving followers to speculate whether this is a casual friendship or the beginnings of something more serious.
