The Smile singer – who split from Chemical Brothers star Ed Simons following a miscarriage – enjoyed a heart-to-heart with the 19-year-old actor over dinner at a London restaurant last week.

The couple hit it off when they met at the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix premiere last year.

A source told the Daily Star: “They swapped numbers then and although they texted each other quite regularly they didn’t meet up.

“Then when Lily split from Ed, Rupert offered her a shoulder to cry and she took it.

“They get on really well and he makes her laugh. Last week they enjoyed a Japanese meal together where they had a long intense talk as well as a few laughs.”

Lily, 22, is said to love how Rupert – who was recently rumoured to be dating Skins actress Hannah Murray – makes her feel safe and protected.

A source said: “Lily got really upset when people recognised them so Rupert protected her. She likes that.
“Lily is still dealing with a terrible start to the year and Rupert is really helping her through.”
