Thandiwe Newton locks lips with musician half her age as she ditches wedding ring

Thandiwe Newton put on a very public display of affection with musician Lonr as she stepped out without her wedding ring.

The 49-year-old kissed the R&B star, 25, in public as speculation mounts that her marriage is over.

Award-winning actress Thandiwe left fans stunned by reports she had called it quits with film director and screenwriter Ol Parker, 24 years after they wed.

It has been reported she is set for a stint in rehab and on Saturday revealed she was in hospital with an injury to her foot.

Thandiwe has yet to speak about the split claims, but her kiss with Lonr, real name Elijah Dias, paints a clear picture.

The smiling pair stopped for a passionate kiss and held hands as went for a stroll in Malibu, US.

She was dressed in a green print fleece and khaki cargo trousers in photos obtained by the MailOnline.

Fans have been quick to point out that Lonr is just four years older than her Ol's eldest child, daughter Ripley, 21.

Lorn - who goes under the acronym of his first album Land of Nothing Real - has previously voiced his desire to 'take over the world'.

Thandiwe and Ol have not been seen together since their 2020 holiday to Ibiza.

The actress pulled out of the third instalment of the Magic Mike franchise.

A source told Page Six : "It became clear she couldn’t play the role.

"There is a lot going on in her personal life, she and her husband have separated. She seemed so stressed she even brought her two pet rabbits to her hotel for emotional support."

Warner Bros released a statement which said the star 'made the difficult decision to step away from the production to deal with family matters'.

Thandie and Ol are parents to children Ripley, Booker and Nico, who has followed her mother into acting.

Nico, 17, made her film debut as Milly Farrier in the Disney remake of Dumbo in 2019.

She went on to star alongside Naomie Harris and Jude Law in the HBO miniseries The Third Day and starred alongside her mother in science fiction movie Reminiscence.
