Thandiwe Newton was caught on camera doing PDA in Malibu on Saturday, amid her breakup from partner Ol Parker and her tragic resignation from the television show ‘Magic Mike.’
Thandiwe Newton was photographed in Malibu, California, on Saturday, April 23, putting on a show for her new beau, Los Angeles musician Elijah Dias (aka Lonr), who works in the music industry. During this time, she had separated from her partner, Ol Parker, and made a dramatic exit from the television show ‘Magic Mike’s Last Dance.’ According to photographs obtained by the Daily Mail, Newton, 49, and Dias, 25, were both dressed in a laid-back manner for the outing. The ‘Westworld’ actress, who was not wearing her wedding band, sported green leggings and a patterned shirt, as well as shoes, a hat, and round-framed sunglasses, according to reports. Meanwhile, the ‘Read My Mind’ singer was dressed in a sweatshirt and garnet sweatpants with an orange crossbody bag, which she accessorised with a black hat. It is reported that Newton and Dias went to at least six different stores before stopping for a bite to eat and engaging in a passionate makeout session.
Born in April of 1997, Lonr made his professional debut in the music industry with the track A.M. He then released his first EP, which was named ‘Land of Nothing Real’, an abbreviation for his stage name, in 2020, which included the single A.M. For his contributions to H.E.R.’s initiatives in 2019, he has received a number of Grammy nominations, including one for Best Song Written for Visual Media. In his own words, Lonr describes himself as a ‘unpredictable, fun, silly, but serious at the same time type of person.’ He currently has 626,213 monthly Spotify listeners and is a self-taught artist who learned how to produce and play instruments in his bedroom.
To Flaunt magazine, Dias explained that his stage name Lonr stands for ‘Land of Nothing Real,’ and that it was inspired by his experiences growing up as a loner in the state of Massachusetts. As a child, I didn’t have a permanent residence because my family was homeless. Despite the fact that I was born in California, I spent my childhood sleeping from couch to sofa with my mother. After high school, we ended up relocating to Massachusetts. Because I moved around a lot when I was younger, I always felt like I was cut off from everyone. I used to spend most of my time in my own imagination, always imagining things and editing things that happened in real life. I was in my thoughts, making up whatever it was that I was imagining. It was being in such setting as a child that served as the cornerstone of his creativity, he said at the time.
What exactly is the situation with Thandiwe Newton?
During this time, Newton is 51 years old and Parker is 52. The couple married in 1998 and have three children: Ripley is 21 and Nico is 17; and Booker is 8 years old. In March 2020, they attended the Season 3 premiere of ‘Westworld’ in Los Angeles, marking the first time they’d been seen together in public since. As a result of personal family concerns and reports of an apparent fight with co-star Channing Tatum, Newton unexpectedly left the film ‘Magic Mike’s Last Dance’ at the end of last month’s production. “[She] took the painful decision to step away from Warner Bros. Pictures’ ‘Magic Mike’s Last Dance’ production in order to deal with family problems,” a Warner Bros. representative said in a statement.
Following the dissolution of her marriage, Newton has been coping with ’emotional and family challenges,’ according to numerous sources. According to a Hollywood insider who spoke to Page Six, “Thandiwe had been acting strangely on set, and she had been really stressed.” Her apparent breakdown caused so much disruption that it became clear that she would be unable to perform the role she was cast in. The circumstances of her personal life are complicated, as her marriage to her spouse is no longer working for her. As a result of her apparent worry, she decided to bring her two pet bunnies to her hotel for emotional support.” According to Page Six, Salma Hayek has now stepped into Newton’s shoes. She had been photographed on the scene earlier with a script in her hand. Hayek is 55 years old.
