Billie Piper looked gorgeous as she made her first public appearance since she reportedly split from her boyfriend.
The actress, 41, beamed as she attended the Dunhill & BSBP pre-BAFTA filmmakers party at Bourdon House in London. Last week it was reported the former Doctor Who star and Tribes frontman Johnny Lloyd, 38, parted ways. Billie and Johnny had been together eight years and share their 5-year-old daughter.
At the glitzy event on Tuesday night, Billie stunned in a navy velvet suit with plunging satin top. She kept her curly auburn locks in a messy bun. It has been said Billie made a subtle exit from the party after hours of mingling with the star-studded guests. It has been claimed the lockdown periods were "quite tough" on Billie and Johnny as they ended up re-evaluating their relationship.

Speaking to Event magazine, he said: "She's made my life better in so many ways and I just feel I now know who I am, I know what I can do, I know where I want to be. And that's with her."
Billie and Johnny started dating in 2016, before they welcomed their daughter on January 2, 2019. Confirming she had given birth to her third child, her first with Johnny, Billie said: "Two weeks ago our little girl arrived. She has totally blown our minds. I didn't know what I was missing but it was you Tallulah ... love you Johnny Lloyd wonderful daddy..." It has been reported Billie and Johnny actually split last year.

They struck up a romance following the breakdown of her relationship with actor turned controversial politician, Laurence Fox in 2016. At the time of their separation, a spokesperson for the former couple said: "Laurence Fox and Billie Piper have separated. No third parties are involved. For the sake of our family, we request and appeal for space and privacy at this time."

She was previously married to Laurence Fox (Getty Images Europe)Billie and Laurence married in 2007 and share two sons - Winston and Eugene. Admitting he “100 per cent wound the f*** out of her," Laurence told The Sunday Times that he now refuses to row. "You don’t need that in your house. You don’t need that sh*t," he said. Billie concurred that their life was full of 'ups and downs' and 'stupid arguments', telling Psychologies magazine: "It’s emotionally up and down – the extremities of emotion.
"Being in love isn’t something that goes, 'Oh, this is it then.' It’s more dramatic. It can make you feel sick and then out of control and hyper.’ [The rows are] usually something really stupid, often born out of being exhausted." In a separate interview with the Daily Mail, Laurence said they tried counselling to mend their 'bad marriage' before finally calling it a day in 2016.
