ROWAN Atkinson’s girlfriend has moved into his home just weeks after his
divorce.
The Mr Bean and Blackadder star, 60, is living with actress Louise Ford, 32,
who he has dated for almost two years.
Louise stars in hit Channel 4 sitcom Crashing about legal squatters living in
a disused East London hospital.
She had been sharing a flat in South London with Sherlock actress and fellow
stand-up comic Yasmine Akram.
But she has now shacked up with Rowan, who is worth an estimated
£71million, in his £4.65million three-bedroom cottage in North London.
An insider said: “Rowan and Louise are both incredibly private people
“But this shows they are obviously serious about their relationship.
“Louise is doing really well with her role in Crashing and wants to be in more
comedy roles while Rowan has been busy with lots of other projects.
“They work as a couple because they’re both comedy actors and understand each
other’s work.”

The couple met after they starred together in a West End play in 2012.
The comedian and former BBC make-up artist Sunetra, mum to his kids Ben, 22,
and Lily, 20, were building an £11million dream home in Oxfordshire when
they broke up. They had been married for 24 years.
Sunetra officially ended their marriage on the grounds of his “unreasonable
behaviour” in November last year despite living apart for 18 months.
They are believed to have sold their former five-bedroom country home in the
same village last month for £2.9million.
The Sun revealed Rowan, thought to be Britain’s wealthiest TV performer,
bought Sunetra a £21million six-bed West London house last year.
His new romance started early in 2014 when he was spotted, still wearing his
wedding ring, with Louise in a South London garden centre.
The couple have since enjoyed a break to Cornwall and left the opening night
of a play together holding hands last April.
Last year Rowan sold his rare McLaren F1 supercar for £8million.
A spokesman for Rowan declined to comment.
