Daisy Edgar-Jones confirms new romance with Anya Taylor-Joy’s former boyfriend Ben Seed as the couple share a kiss during shopping trip in London
Daisy Edgar-Jones was amongst Normal People on Wednesday as she spent some time with her new boyfriend in west London.
The actress mingled with fellow shoppers while sharing a kiss with photographer Ben Seed during a day out in Knightsbridge, a move that effectively confirmed their relationship.
Jones, 25, was seen embracing Seed – whose former girlfriends include the actress Anya Taylor-Joy – as they idled on the street while shopping in the local area.
The British star looked relaxed in a cropped denim jacket and high-slung jeans while showering the photographer with affection.
She added to her loom with a pair of strappy flats, while a simple black handbag appeared to be her only notable accessory.

Inseparable: The actress mingled with fellow shoppers while out with photographer Ben Seed in Knightsbridge
Seed looked equally relaxed in a plain white T-shirt and skinny jeans as he planted a kiss on his girlfriend’s head.
The photographer, who dated Queen’s Gambit star Taylor-Joy, 27, in 2021, accompanied Jones as they called into the Gucci store on Sloane Street.
The Normal People actress is said to be on ‘cloud nine’ after embarking on a relationship with Seed, who goes by the artist name Pip.
He split up with Taylor-Joy ahead of her beating Jones to the best actress gong at the Golden Globes in 2021.
The pair are said to have enjoyed a string of dates in London and have been seeing each other for months.
A source told The Sun: ‘Daisy and Pip got together earlier this year and have become inseparable.
‘They have both had some free time this summer and love hanging out in Broadway Market in East London, just going to bars and spending time together.
‘There’s a real spark there and they are excited about finding each other. They’ve already met one another’s friends and she is on cloud nine.’
Jones’ alleged new relationship comes after she split with ex Tom Varey in late 2020 after two years of dating.
While she is said to be enjoying a romance with Ben, Anya is currently loved up with ‘husband’ Malcolm McRae.
Taylor-Joy and McRae were first spotted kissing in New York City in May 2021, just ahead of her hosting debut on Saturday Night Live.
Later that month, she spoke about having a partner in an interview with Elle, though she didn’t mention McRae by name.
They made their official red carpet debut at the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party in March 2022, just months before reports surfaced they had secretly married.
Jones scored her breakthrough role in 2022, when she played the main role of Marianne in Sally Rooney’s Normal People opposite Paul Mescal as Connell.
The romantic drama, which was released on BBC Three in 2020, focused on the on-off relationship between Irish teenagers Marianne and Connell, beginning in their school days through to their time at university.
