Vinnie Jones was spotted at The Gentlemen’s season two premiere in London, beaming as he cosied up to girlfriend Emma Ford.
The Snatch actor wore a brown checked suit with a matching tie and baker boy cap as he grinned for cameras.
Looking equally smitten, Emma, 48, smiled up at him, wearing a black dress with floral embellishments.
Vinnie, 61, met Emma in 2022 when she was employed on his TV show, and two years later they were officially an item.
The former showbiz reporter previously worked as a PA to The Clash’s Mick Jones and had just moved back to the UK after several years in LA.
Fans are thrilled he’s found love again after his wife Tanya died in 2019 from skin cancer, which spread to her brain. The pair were married for 25 years.
Vinnie had said he would ‘never be with anyone else’ after Tanya’s death but last year admitted he may have spoken too soon.
He revealed Emma had promised his late wife that she was ‘going to look after him’ for her, which he called ‘a defining moment’.
Speaking to The Sunday Times, he said: ‘I’m at peace because does [Tanya] want you to be on your own? No, because you’re not going to be happy.’
The X-Men actor opened up about the death of his wife, which came shortly after the loss of his mum, on the series Vinnie Jones in the Country.
He told right-hand man Paul Worby: ‘We’re big, hairy blokes, and we got to get on with it. Cancer, grief, mental health… somehow it’s all going to happen to all of us.’
Vinnie previously told Metro he had turned down roles to prioritise his mental health, declining the offer of reprising his role as Juggernaut in Deadpool and Wolverine.
He explained that the long hours of makeup – five or six each day – had been a ‘strain’ on his mental health. Vinnie joked they were also ‘trying to get him cheap’.
His reluctance to take the role is hardly surprising, considering he has often shunned the spotlight, spending plenty of time on his farm in West Sussex.
The She’s the Man actor also shared: ‘I kind of want to get away [from the spotlight] as soon as I can. I want to do as little as I can and leg it.’

He said Guy Ritchie’s sets are one of the places he feels safest, which is why he’s always willing to come back to work for the director.
While working together on Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, he would put on meals for the cast and crew as he was in a better financial position than the rest of them.
Before he launched his film career in the 1998 crime classic, Vinnie was a professional footballer playing for the likes of Leeds United, Sheffield United, and Chelsea.
Vinnie has worked with Guy on three projects already and has reportedly signed on for Viva La Madness, which is slated for release in 2028.
