The Crown 's Josh O'Connor Dating Saltburn 's Alison Oliver
Josh O'Connor and Alison Oliver are a game, set, perfect match.
The Crown alum and Saltburn actress confirmed their romance on May 29, when they stepped out for a PDA-packed stroll in London together.
In photos of their casual outing, obtained by deuxmoi, Josh rocked an electric blue "Upper TWP History" baseball cap, navy blue trousers and a coordinating navy-and-green striped sweater while he strolled down the street beside Alison, who held onto his hand while wearing a matching sweatsuit and white sneakers.
At one point, the Challengers actor wrapped his arm around the Conversations With Friends star's shoulder and planted a passionate kiss on her lips before the couple continued their walk down the sidewalk, holding hands.
And while this may be the first time Josh, 35, and Alison, 27, have publicly showed affection for each other, it's not the first time the pair have stepped out together.
Earlier this month, the duo linked up at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival premiere of Josh's new film The Mastermind, where they posed with the actor's parents Emily O'Connor and John O'Connor on the red carpet.

And during a second Cannes outing, the pair appeared at a cocktail event together alongside friends Jeremy O'Harris, Este Haim, Danielle Haim and his Mastermind costar Alana Haim.
In a video shared to TikTok May 24 from the occasion, Josh sat at a table, with Alison hovering over his shoulder. On his other side, the Haim bandmates mouthed along to lyrics that said, "I'm gonna be hungover," while the whole group—all dressed in formal attire—swayed back and forth holding onto glasses of white wine.
And while neither Josh or Alison—who previously dated Normal People actor Éanna Hardwicke—have addressed their budding love story, Josh has fessed up to having past romantic feelings for FKA Twigs when they attended high school together in the U.K.
'I really shouldn't be saying this, but it's hilarious. I was in a band called Orange Output basically to try and get Twigs to go out with me,' he told GQ in 2023. 'I was the lead singer, and one of the lyrics I wrote was 'I'm addicted to crack, motherf--ker.' The closest thing I'd had to crack was Coco Pops.'
But Josh didn't get a response from the musician at the time. As he quipped, 'I don't think she knows who I am.'

These Are Our Favorite Wristwatches Under $1,000
Few would have expected the Omega x Swatch Moonswatch to create such a furor both in and out of watch fandom when it was released in 2022, yet in just a few years, it has become one of the most desirable watches today due to its initial scarcity, dual brand recognition, and attractive price. Thankfully, it's much easier to buy a Moonswatch than when it was first released, including online, and the days of needing to pay scalpers for one through eBay are happily over. The Moonswatch takes its name and design from the classic Omega Speedmaster, also known as the Moonwatch, due to it being the first watch on the moon. Unlike the Omega Speedmaster, it's made of bioceramic (which feels a lot like plastic), doesn't have a sapphire crystal, has a quartz movement, is only water resistant to 30 meters, and most definitely hasn't been to the moon. None of this matters, though, as there's so much to like about the Moonswatch, from how it bridges the divide between normal people and watch fans, how it's practically guaranteed to stir up some kind of emotion, and that there's almost certainly a color scheme or design feature that will appeal. Just don't expect it to have the best build quality, or for it to feel anywhere near as expensive as its price suggests. Some also complain about the Velcro strap, but the branding looks great, and it's perfect to throw on your wrist when you're in a hurry. Once it's on, it's so light you barely know it's there. A rubber alternative strap is available if you do hate the Velcro, though. Even if you haven't heard of any other brands and watches on our list, I bet you have heard of the Omega x Swatch Moonswatch, but don't pass it off as just clever marketing. It's a Swatch at heart, and that makes it a fun and affordable gateway into watch ownership. Specs Case and strap: 42 mm, 20-mm band Movement: Quartz (ETA G10.212) Glass: Hesalite Water resistance: 3 ATM Warranty: 2 years Rotate North started out in 2019 with its Atlantic dive watch, but it has expanded its range to include several other models since then, and I love the Tempest aviation watch. Built in Germany and finished in the UK, the Tempest comes in a 40-mm case size with a choice of bright rubber straps, and I love the 12- and 24-hour markers on the dial, the date window, and the 300-meter water resistance rating. Perhaps best of all, Rotate North gives you the choice of movements. You can choose the Tempest with a Seiko NH35A automatic movement, which the company says it chose due to its 'exceptional durability, reliability, and impressive accuracy (-20 to +40 seconds per day) rating.' The movement will turn up more than once on this list for these very reasons. Alternatively, you can choose a Ronda 715LI quartz movement if you want the watch to always be ready to go, and to save a little on the purchase price, too. Specs Case and strap: 40 mm, 20-mm band Movement: Automatic (Seiko NH35A) or Quartz (Ronda 715LI) Glass: Sapphire Water resistance: 30 ATM Warranty: 2 years

Here's Your First Look at Emma Corrin and Olivia Colman in Netflix's New Pride & Prejudice
I firmly believe that, like Little Women and Wuthering Heights, every generation gets the Pride & Prejudice they deserve. For those who came of age in the mid-'90s, that was the glorious BBC adaptation starring a note-perfect Jennifer Ehle and a wet-white-shirt-wearing Colin Firth. For those, like me, who grew up in the aughts, it was Joe Wright's ravishing, Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen-led effort. (This is still, in my humble opinion, the best take on this literary classic.) And now, Gen Z is about to have their own: a six-part limited series reimagining of Jane Austen's scintillating romp is coming to Netflix. And the cast is to die for. On April 10, it was announced by the streamer that Golden Globe-winning period drama regular Emma Corrin (The Crown, Lady Chatterley's Lover, Nosferatu) would be taking the hotly contested part of Elizabeth Bennet, while Jack Lowden (Saoirse Ronan's husband and the star of War & Peace, Mary Queen of Scots, Benediction, and Slow Horses), would be the inscrutable Mr. Darcy. And as for the role of the wonderfully silly (and increasingly desperate) Mrs. Bennet? None other than Oscar winner Olivia Colman, Corrin's fellow Crown alumni, will slip into her frilly bonnet. More casting news followed on July 29: The Holiday, Scoop, and The Diplomat's Rufus Sewell will be the wry Mr. Bennet; Industry's Freya Mavor will be the angelic Jane Bennet; Heartstopper's Rhea Norwood will be the flighty Lydia; and recent graduates Hollie Avery and Hopey Parish will make their screen debuts as the giggly Kitty and the somber Mary, respectively. Then there's internet boyfriend Louis Partridge as the dastardly Mr. Wickham; Fleabag's Jamie Demetriou as the humorless Mr. Collins; Bad Sisters' Daryl McCormack as the kindly Mr. Bingley; and the formidable Fiona Shaw as the terrifying Lady Catherine de Bourg, so memorably embodied by Dame Judi Dench in the 2005 version. The supporting cast is rounded out with Domino Day's Siena Kelly as the glamorous Caroline Bingley; We Are Lady Parts' Anjana Vasan as the Bennet sisters' aunt, Mrs. Gardiner; The Tudors' Sebastian Armesto as her husband, Mr. Gardiner; Rosie Cavaliero as Lady Lucas; Justin Edwards as Sir William Lucas; Saffron Coomber as Mrs. Hurst, Bingley's other sister; James Dryden as Mr. Hurst; James Northcote as Colonel Forster; Eloise Webb as Harriet Forster; and Isabella Sermon as the luminous Georgiana Darcy.
