Lily James‘ mystery man has been revealed after the pair were seen leaving a restaurant together in Paris over the past weekend on Sunday.
The Cinderella actress, 35 — who has whisked herself away to France for Paris Fashion Week — grabbed a bite to eat with Christopher Jones, the brother of her close friend Emma Holly Jones.
It is not known if the British-born star and Christopher are only pals or if have struck up a romance.
However, the pair follow each other’s Instagram accounts and James has often appeared on Emma’s own page.
While it is not clear what Christopher does for work, he often shares pictures from his active lifestyle, such as him golfing, skydiving or bike riding.
Just one day earlier, James was spotted exiting an eatery in Paris with Jones following close behind.

She was clad in a brown leather trench coat and her brunette-to-blonde ombré locks were slightly tousled and styled in a middle part with curtain bangs as she headed to a waiting car.
Lily teamed her sleek outerwear with a pair of coordinating pointy-toe, brown, animal print boots with a heel.
The Downton Abbey alumna complemented her fashionable look with a short and glossy dark manicure.
Christopher looked handsome with a tapered haircut and full beard as he joined the actress for the nighttime outing.
He was dressed in a black shirt, pants, and coat, and finished the look with white sneakers.
The Tom & Pammy star was last romantically linked to musician Michael Shuman in late 2023.
However, they split in February 2023 but were then seen together at Glastonbury later in the year.
The Suffolk native’s relationship with Michael was first revealed in February 2021 when they were spotted kissing outside a boutique hotel in England while she filmed What’s Love Got To Do With It.

A year later they confirmed their relationship when they attended the Oscars together in Hollywood.
At the time, the musician had reportedly moved into the Mamma Mia star’s multi-million-dollar home in North London.
A month later the two were pictured hand-in-hand while visiting Michael’s parents, former Disney production manager Ira Shuman and wife Janet, in Los Angeles.
Beforehand, James previously dated The Crown actor Matt Smith — whom she first met while filming Pride And Prejudice And Zombies — from 2014 through 2019.
During an interview with Collider while promoting her 2022 movie What’s Love Got To Do With It?, the actress briefly touched on the topic of romance.
‘Yeah, I think that we’re sort of encouraged by society to, you know, this lightning bolt moment where you’re gonna meet the man of your dreams, or woman of your dreams, or whoever of your dreams…
‘And it’s gonna be, that’s it, you’re settled, and you’re done for life. Happily ever after, dot, dot, dot – and that’s just not the case.’
She applauded that the film ‘explores a kind of more gentle, ordinary — and I say that with such reverence, I think ordinary is just wonderful — way of meeting someone that love can build out of, blossom out of friendship.

‘You need a village of people around you, and whatever that may be, and that is also a kind of great form of love and of support and of happiness, and just that there’s no one way to go about this, there’s no one way to find love, live your life,’ she said.
Lily has been keeping busy and has enjoyed several Paris Fashion Week appearances this month.
She was pictured at Chloe’s womenswear fall/winter 2025–2026 show on March 6, and one day earlier she attended the LVMH Prize event.
The star also made sure to catch Christian Dior’s Paris Fashion Week show alongside A-listers including Natalie Portman and Elle Macpherson.
Lily commanded attention in a black co-ord including perfectly tailored trousers and a matching off-the-shoulder blouse.
She tied a thin, black, leather belt around her midsection, highlighting her trim waistline.
