Downton Abbey Star Hugh Bonneville Seen with Vegan Influencer Heidi Kadlecova at Exclusive Cocktail Party Celebrating Film Wrap in London

Hugh Bonneville, known for his role as the dignified Lord Grantham, seems to be channeling his character’s charm in real life. The 60-year-old star of *Downton Abbey* and *Paddington* was recently spotted out with his new partner, making quite the impression.

As they enjoyed a night out, Bonneville showed his chivalrous side by opening the limo door for his companion. However, he quickly slipped into the car himself upon noticing photographers.

Last week, Bonneville was seen with Heidi Kadlecova, a passionate vegan influencer.

This sighting comes a year after his separation from his wife. Kadlecova, who dazzled in a striking red dress with a deep neckline, joined Bonneville at a cocktail party celebrating the end of filming for the third *Downton Abbey* movie. This event marks the third public appearance of the couple together.

Heidi Kadlecova, a vocal vegan advocate, has been making waves on social media.

The couple’s public debut occurred on July 8 at the premiere of *Twisters*, a film featuring *Downton* actor Harry Hadden-Paton.

Kadlecova shared her excitement on Bonneville’s Instagram, praising his performance in the film.

Just two weeks later, they were spotted together at the opening night of *Fangirls*, a musical at the Lyric Theatre in Hammersmith. According to a source, their attendance at these events together was a clear sign of their budding relationship.

The Social Media Trail

Bonneville and Kadlecova were later seen arriving at a Downton Abbey-themed party at The Cross, a speakeasy-style bar in King’s Cross.

They arrived in a chauffeur-driven white BMW and left two hours later, with Bonneville once again displaying his gentlemanly side by opening the car door for Kadlecova before quickly getting inside himself to avoid the cameras.

Personal Life and Recent Changes

Bonneville is still married to his wife of 25 years, Lulu Williams, though they announced their separation last September.

The couple, who lived in West Sussex and have an adult son named Felix, have not yet finalized their divorce.

Bonneville has been rumored to join the celebrity dating app Raya following their split.

Williams, who was once described by Bonneville as his “bedrock” and “anchor,” reportedly feels that their long marriage is being undervalued. Kadlecova, previously married to lawyer Richard Coglon, has worked with NGOs in Uganda, Indonesia, and Nepal.

Her social media indicates a strong belief in the health risks associated with animal products, and she has also acted in a film about domestic abuse. Bonneville’s spokesperson has yet to comment on the new developments.
