David Walliams’ past romances resurface amid allegations

British comedian and children’s author David Walliams has come under renewed scrutiny following allegations of sexual misconduct involving teenage girls, bringing fresh attention to his past relationships with several high-profile women.

Walliams, best known for co-creating Little Britain and serving as a judge on Britain’s Got Talent, has been accused of abusing his position to engage in inappropriate and exploitative sexual activities with numerous women and girls, including teenagers as young as 15. He has denied any wrongdoing.

The 54-year-old reportedly sought a High Court injunction to prevent the publication of the allegations. He argued that making the claims public could have devastating consequences for his mental health, including the possibility of taking his own life.

Amid the controversy, details of Walliams’ romantic history have resurfaced, highlighting his reported relationships and links with several celebrities and models over the past two decades.

One of his earliest publicly reported relationships was with model and television personality Abi Titmuss in 2004. Their three-month romance reportedly ended following disagreements over her modelling career and revealing photoshoots.

In 2005 and 2006, Walliams was also linked to television presenter Lisa Snowdon. However, Snowdon later clarified that although they went on a few dates, their relationship never became physical and they remained close friends.

The comedian was subsequently rumoured to have been romantically involved with former Spice Girls member Geri Halliwell in 2007. Halliwell later dismissed suggestions of a romance, describing him as a friend.

In 2009, Walliams reportedly dated model Lauren Budd, who was 18 at the time, while he was 37. Their relationship lasted around three months and was said to have remained largely platonic.

Walliams later married Dutch supermodel Lara Stone in May 2010 after proposing earlier that year. The couple welcomed a son in 2013 but ended their marriage in 2015. Their divorce was finalised following proceedings that lasted less than a minute.

Following his separation, Walliams was linked to several other personalities, including former Made in Chelsea star Ashley James, Pussycat Dolls singer Ashley Roberts and model Keeley Hazell.

In 2022, he was also photographed with Rosie Ashley during outings in London. Later that year, reports linked him to Ugandan-Australian actress Suzan Mutesi after they were spotted together during a cinema outing in Sydney. However, neither relationship appeared to develop into a lasting public romance.

Walliams has largely maintained a lower public profile in recent months. The resurfacing of his relationship history comes as the allegations against him attract growing media attention.
