Who is Hannah Waddingham's boyfriend Nick Beresford-Cleary?
Nick Beresford-Cleary is a spinal surgeon who largely stays outside Hollywood's glare. According to Woman's World, Waddingham confirmed the relationship after the pair were first spotted out together and later made a red-carpet appearance at the Variety Power of Women event in London in June.
Speaking to Women's Health UK, she said she had spent years focused on her career and her daughter before dating again. "I've hunkered down and focused on my girl and me," she explained, adding that the best part of the romance is "firstly, being happy and strong in myself."
She has also described herself as picky after years as a single mum, telling Glamour she wants someone inspired by a strong, opinionated woman rather than intimidated by one.
What did Hannah Waddingham wear to the Ted Lasso premiere?
Waddingham shimmered in a Monique Lhuillier metallic gold sculpted minidress with a strapless neckline and metallic raffia floral embroidery on tulle. WWD reported she paired it with Aquazzura's So Nude Sandal 105 in a pink-nude shade that closely matched her tan, creating a near optical illusion on the carpet.
The four-inch stiletto sandals retail for $850. The look fit the birthday-week energy of the Los Angeles premiere, where castmates including Jason Sudeikis, Juno Temple, Brett Goldstein, Brendan Hunt and Jeremy Swift also turned out.
When does Ted Lasso season 4 premiere on Apple TV?
Season 4 of Ted Lasso premieres August 5 on Apple TV. In the new run, Ted returns to Richmond to coach a second-division women's football team, taking chances he and the squad never thought they would.
Waddingham reprises Rebecca Welton alongside returning favorites and new cast members. The premiere stop underscored why the show still dominates the conversation: star power, fashion flash, and a romance subplot that now extends off-screen for one of its leads.
