Benjamin Clementine has found love again following the collapse of his marriage to 'City Superwoman' Dame Helena Morrissey's musician daughter Flo earlier this year.

The Mercury Prizewinning singer, 37, is going out with Hollywood actress Lana Parrilla, 49, who stars in the hit US fantasy series Once Upon A Time with Jamie Dornan and Robert Carlyle, the Daily Mail's Richard Eden reports.

The couple made their red-carpet debut this week at the series two premiere of The Gentlemen, in which Benjamin plays a former soldier called Nanny.

'They started seeing each other earlier this year,' confirmed a source close to the couple. 

They added: 'Benjamin is serious about her and he's already introduced her to his children. He's very happy.'

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

And the pair put on a very loved-up display at The Gentlemen premiere as they held hands while posing together for snaps.

While Benjamin looked dapper in a black suit and rollneck jumper, Brooklyn-born Lana dazzled in a floor-length black gown with lace detailing.

Lana divorced her ex-husband, software executive Fred Di Blasio, in 2018 after four years of marriage. 

Meanwhile, musician Benjamin's split from Flo, 31 – the mother of his two children – was reported in January, when she confirmed that they had divorced after almost seven years of marriage. 

She told Richard Eden at the time: 'It feels right for me to not hide that I got divorced.'

She added: 'As we all know, life and time can hold many truths at once.

'Both wonderful and terribly hard things happen.'

The parting was all the more poignant given that the couple, who have two children, had also performed as The Clementines.

Flo, full name Florence Elizabeth J. Clementine, began dating singer Benjamin, whose debut album At Least for Now won the 2015 Mercury Prize, in 2016.

Speaking of embracing his individuality in a 2017 interview with the Evening Standard, he said of Flo: 'Luckily the person I’m with understands because they’re an artist themselves. 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 Flo's birthday, Christmas Day in 2017. 

They tied the knot in a stunning ceremony in August 2018, with Florence donning a white gown by sustainable womenswear designer Lisa Redman and a crown created by artist Maggie Lochtenberg. 

Florence later gave birth to her daughter Helena – named after her grandmother – in October 2019.

However, after many years of marriage, their divorce is now finalised with Benjamin publicly moving on in his new relationship.
