Billie Piper has reportedly split from her boyfriend Johnny Lloyd after eight years together.
Sources told The Sun that the Doctor Who actress, 41, and her musician beau, 38, decided to call it quits last year, but that the news has only just come out. One insider told the publication: “It’s obviously very sad that the couple have gone their separate ways.
“But the relationship ran its course and they decided they would be better off apart. Like many couples, lockdown was quite tough for them, so they have had time to really think about what they want their future to look like.”

The pair share a five-year-old daughter, Tallulah, together. The source says the pair retain “many happy memories” and are “concentrating on co-parenting” and their respective careers – but they will “always treasure” their time together.

Billie has already been busy filming her latest project, Netflix movie Scoop, which is set for release in Spring. Johnny, meanwhile, has been touring the UK with his band Tribes.
Billie has had plenty of high-profile relationships in the past, notably marrying radio host Chris Evans in 2001 before their divorce in 2007. She also married controversial GB News star Laurence Fox, divorcing him in 2016.

They were granted a “quickie divorce” after a whirlwind romance, meeting on stage when they co-starred in the play Treats together. They welcomed two kids, sons Winston and Eugene, before calling it quits. She and Fox even ended up with matching tattoos on their honeymoon to celebrate their marriage.
In October last year, she allegedly told friends that she was enraged after discovering Fox allegedly asked another woman out while they were still together. That woman was actress Honeysuckle Weeks, who he met on set of ITV detective drama Lewis.

Honeysuckle claimed: “Laurence asked me out three times. On each occasion he stood me up. Although the real question is why did I keep agreeing? Mind you he was still married to Billie at the time.”
A source claimed Billie was “stunned” to read the report and discover Laurence was “wooing” other women, and felt “humiliated and betrayed”. The insider told The Sun: “Safe to say, she is extremely happy she and Laurence aren’t together today.”
