Thandiwe Newton is said to be living with a 25-year-old rapper in LA after the shock split from her husband.

The 49-year-old RocknRolla actress was caught locking lips with Grammy-winning musician Lonr in Malibu over the weekend.

The kissing photos of the couple come just days after it was reported that she had split from her filmmaker husband of 24 years, Oliver ‘Ol’ Parker.

Oliver, 52, – who shares children Ripley, 21, Nico, 17, and Booker, eight, with Thandiwe – is said to have “blinded” to his wife’s new love affair.

In recent days, it has been seen that the actress is not wearing a wedding ring, indicating that her marriage is indeed over.

Insiders say Thandiwe acted like a “young teenager” around Lonr, whose real name is Elijah Dias.

She is said to have liked the rapper’s social media posts since January 2020, although there is no hint that they were romantically involved after that.

It is believed their paths crossed when Elijah performed a song called Save My Love on the soundtrack of her 2021 film Reminiscence.

A source told The Sun: ‘Thhandiwe has been staying with Elijah in LA and is behaving like a teenager. Her wedding ring is off and it looks like she has a crush on him.

“She had a place in Los Feliz where she would have been before, but she always seemed to be by Elijah’s side. Thandiwe looks like she can’t get enough Elijah. When he’s not working, he’s with Thandiwe. “

The source said the pair were “well-matched” and Elijah “acts like the perfect boyfriend”.

They added: “Thandiwe made no secret of this love affair. She wants people to know about it.”

The actress flew to LA earlier this month when news of her marriage broke down.

In addition to the split, she was also left out of the upcoming Magic Mike 3 movie after allegedly falling out with Channing Tatum.

A source told Page six : “Obviously she couldn’t get into the role.
