Romance has blossomed for the Homeland and Band of Brothers actor, who has found love with The Kills’ lead singer, Alison Mosshart. They were first seen in public together in summer 2022, 14 months after Damian was devastated by the loss of his wife and mother of their two children.
The couple have recently been spotted frolicking in the sea in St Tropez – days after Crown Prince Christian of Denmark was seen grabbing an ice cream on the French Riviera with his rumoured new girlfriend. Damian and Alison took a dip in the sea and packed on the PDA.

The couple have made a number of outings on the social scene, including the Serpentine Summer Party, the National Gallery fundraising party (alongside Sienna Miller and Lara Stone) and the Grand Prix at Silverstone. They have also been spotted at The House of KOKO, alongside friends Ellie Goulding, Darren Strowger, and Alison’s bandmate, Jamie Hince, the ex-husband of Kate Moss.
While best-known for his acting, Lewis has also released his debut album Mission Creep in June. Maybe he’s been inspired by his new girlfriend. Alison Mosshart, born in Florida, has been lead vocalist of The Kills since 2001, formed with her bandmate and ‘best friend in the world’ British guitarist, Jamie Hince. She said after playing a stint performing with The Kills in June 2022 in LA and New York, ‘To do a Kills gigs again felt like a dream,’ having not played with the band since November 2019.
