Bill Nighy Finally Speaks Out About Those Anna Wintour Dating Rumours
It appears that fans may have misinterpreted the relationship between Nighy and Wintour.
This year's Met Gala might have been somewhat underwhelming, with many red-carpet outfits coming across as bland and uninspired. However, fans were excited by some juicy rumours, particularly the one involving Vogue editor-in-chief and perennial Met Gala host Anna Wintour arriving arm-in-arm with British actor Bill Nighy on the red carpet.
Media and fans quickly interpreted their appearance as confirmation that the two were dating, praising them as a beautiful couple. Yet, it seems those assumptions may have been premature.
According to Nighy's representatives, Anna and Bill are not in a romantic relationship but are merely close friends who often spend time together. While this revelation may disappoint fans who enjoyed seeing them together, it is actually refreshing to hear that two prominent celebrities can maintain a friendship without romantic undertones. Some fans argue that this demonstrates the possibility of genuine friendships between individuals of different sexes.
‘They’re allowed to just be friends? Seriously, it’s so weird how our society can’t let men and women just be friends,’ a fan lamented.
In fact, the 2023 Met Gala wasn't the first time Nighy and Wintour appeared in public together. The two were seen at the premiere of Nighy's Oscar-nominated film Living last year and even shared a cosy dinner in Rome, where Nighy arrived with red roses. That prompted fans to speculate about romantic feelings between the two.
The friendship between Nighy and Wintour goes back more than a decade, and it seems they are indeed just friends. It isn't easy to imagine that individuals like Nighy and Wintour would conceal a relationship without a valid reason.
‘I saw them attend a play together in London in 2009 and they seemed very chummy more than romantic…they also left at intermission because the play was garbage,’ one fan recollected.
So, while Wintour and Nighy were undeniably the best-looking pair at this year's Met Gala, they are just friends and not lovers. People should support their friendship instead of accusing them of harbouring a secret.
