Newly-Divorced David Walliams And Natalie Imbruglia Link Arms As They Leave Jemima Goldsmith’s House Together

David Walliams might have split from supermodel Lara Stone earlier this year but luckily he has the support of his friends to help him through his divorce.

It just so happens that one of those friends is Natalie Imbruglia, who the comedian had previously described as his “ideal woman”.

What a happy coincidence!

The Britain’s Got Talent Judge, 44, and singer/model/actress/ideal woman, 40, were seen leaving mutual friend Jemima Goldsmith’s luxury home, arm in arm over the weekend.

However, in an interview in 1999, David confessed: “Natalie always makes it clear that we could never be anything more than friends.”

Could things have changed 16 years later?

The singletons looked like a match made in heaven, as David put on a chivalrous display and Natalie wrapped her arm around his.

They seemed to be enjoying a moment alone as they continued on down the road together. We would have loved to have known the topic of conversation that evening…

David opted for the smart-casual look with an open-collared shirt, black jacket and grey trousers, whilst petite Natalie looked chic in a black mini skirt and blazer.

The stars first became friends in 2007 but have repeatedly denied rumours of a romantic connection, though it seems that David might have a case of the heart eyes emoji for Nat.

When speaking to Radio 4 in February 2009, he revealed that whenever he was with Natalie (or Kate Beckinsale – another close friend) he turned “to jelly because they’re so exciting to be with, but neither of them would ever go out with me, so I can’t.”

Despite feeling wobbly-legged in her company, thankfully David managed to walk in a straight line with the Torn singer as his crutch. Phew.
