David Walliams, once frequently spotted with glamorous companions, now navigates a markedly solitary life. After facing harassment accusations he firmly denies and parting ways with his publisher last year, the 54-year-old entertainer turns to the exclusive dating app Raya in search of connection.
Profile on Elite Dating App
Walliams’ Raya profile features sharp images of him in a cream tuxedo, similar to his outfit at last year’s Mediterrane Film Festival. He also includes a photo with Little Britain co-creator Matt Lucas dressed as their iconic characters Lou and Andy. The profile remains mostly blank, listing only his London location and linking to his official Instagram account.
Raya, accessible only by invitation and popular among celebrities, represents a shift for Walliams, who previously drew crowds at events. Sources describe him as extremely lonely, leading a socially withdrawn existence.
Shift from Past Romances
Walliams previously enjoyed high-profile relationships with women like actress Patsy Kensit, Geri Horner, Lisa Snowdon, Ashley James, Lauren Budd, and Sylvia Flote. His most notable partnership was with Dutch supermodel Lara Stone, married from 2010 to 2015.
A former associate notes the change: “David used to be a woman magnet. Women found him hilarious.” Past connections, however, often lacked deep passion. Geri Horner later clarified their bond as platonic, saying she “loved him” but he remained a friend. Lisa Snowdon insisted they never became intimate, adding, “We did have a couple of dates, but it’s not how everyone thinks.” Lauren Budd described their brief time together as non-physical, ending during a New York trip.
Current Living Situation
Walliams sold his Belsize Park mansion in 2019, where he once lived with Stone and son Alfred, now 12. He divides time between a north London home, shared only with dogs Bert and Ernie, and a Hove seafront property facing erosion risks. Since publisher HarperCollins ended ties in December, he stays largely housebound, with minimal social media activity—a single Mother’s Day post featuring his mother Kathleen and Matt Lucas.
Ex-Wife’s Contrasting Happiness
Stone, divorced in 2015, found love on Tinder with property developer David Grievson in 2018. They married three years later and reside in a vibrant Victorian Hampstead home with Alfred and toddler Bob, born 2023. Grievson highlighted their family swims in Hampstead Heath ponds and a custom dressing room for Stone’s shoes.
Career Challenges and Fallout
Walliams exited Britain’s Got Talent in 2022 following leaked 2020 comments disparaging contestants with misogynistic language. He sued producers Fremantle for privacy breaches, securing an apology and reportedly £5 million. Court documents noted severe mental health impacts, including suicidal thoughts and sleep issues, per psychiatrist Dr. Mark Collins.
Further issues arose with publisher staff allegations of inappropriate behavior, leading to paired work protocols. No celebrity support emerged; some in entertainment circles expressed relief. His one-man show dates in March canceled due to low sales, and he lost charity roles. His latest public outing in January at a London children’s reading event drew a small crowd, leaving him deflated despite performing happily.
Representatives for Walliams state he is not currently on the site.
