Gemma Arterton spotted snogging new man at star-studded British Summertime festival in Hyde Park
GEMMA ARTERTON got engaged to her first husband Stefano Catelli at Download Festival way back in 2009.
But there’s clearly something about live music that still gets her going — because she went public with her new boyfriend at Barclaycard’s British Summertime Hyde Park on Friday.
Gemma and Peaky Blinders actor RORY KEENAN were seen kissing as they waited to see a headline set from PHIL COLLINS, months after previously appearing together in West End play Saint Joan.
A source revealed: “Gemma is still very much in the honeymoon phase with Rory and they are really enjoying each other’s company.
“They were not holding back on the public displays of affection and spent the entire afternoon together.
“They had no worries about anyone seeing them kissing and cuddling. Gemma and Rory have been seeing each other for a few months and have been keeping their relationship quiet.
“But as they are both actors, they understand each other.”
Gemma and Rory were enjoying the hospitality, as were EMMA and MATT WILLIS and former THE SATURDAYS singer UNA FODEN.
Quantum of Solace actress Emma split from Italian businessman Stefano in 2013 after three years of marriage.
The same year, she and assistant director Franklin Ohanessian met on the set of her film The Voices, and they dated until last October.
Gemma then met War and Peace actor Rory at the end of last year.
Speaking in April, she was coy about her love life, saying she wanted an actor boyfriend.

Gemma said: “I absolutely want to have children.
“The only way you can is if you have a really brilliant partner.
“I see a therapist, who said, ‘You know, there are people out there that are like MARK RYLANCE’.
“If only everyone was like Mark Rylance.”
She and Rory make a lovely couple.

Star-studded festival
TOVE LO brought some star power to the festival.
The Swedish singer wore gold pants with carefully placed stickers on her chest as she ditched her bra once again to play packed-out Hyde Park yesterday.
However, it might not be too long before Tove – who joined ANNE-MARIE, MARTIN GARRIX and JUSTIN BIEBER in the festival line-up – swaps those for Hollywood stars, after she revealed she has her eye on a move into acting.
She said: “I definitely want to do more. Anything (by director QUENTIN) TARANTINO I would want to be a part of.
“That’s my big dream. That would be amazing.”
She won’t have any problems stripping off for a role.
Building up Brooklyn
JUSTIN BIEBER’s chequered past with photographers hasn’t harmed his bromance with wannabe snapper BROOKLYN BECKHAM.
I can reveal the popstar went out of his way to cheer the teen up after his first photography book, called What I See, got panned.
He invited Brooklyn on a lads’ night out on Saturday before ensuring he was treated liked royalty at his Hyde Park headline show yesterday.
The singer stuck the lad on his personal guest list.
A source said: “Justin was keen to get the party started early and kicked off his time in the capital with a lads’ night out on Saturday.
“Brooklyn’s had a tough week after his book got savaged by critics, so Justin texted him and asked him along.
“They went for a low-key meal at the Ours restaurant in Kensington, before moving on to the Chiltern Firehouse for a couple.
"They finished up in Tape nightclub in Mayfair and Justin was clearly in the mood to party.
"At one point, he stripped off his top and was swinging it round, dancing in just his trousers and beanie hat.”
Brooklyn isn’t the only one getting heat over his photos.
His dad DAVID has hit back at critics for moaning about him and wife VICTORIA kissing their daughter Harper on the lips in Instagram snaps.
During a Facebook Live on his page on Saturday, he said: “ I kiss all my kids on the lips.
“Brooklyn, maybe not. Brooklyn’s 18 and he might find that a little bit strange, but I’m very affectionate with the kids.
“It’s how I was brought up and Victoria, and it’s how we are with our children.
“We want to show our kids love and we protect them, look after them, and support them, and we’re very affectionate with them.”
A pint down the pub with dad will probably be enough for Brooklyn.
Bunged-up Bieber braves a boys' night out
BRAVE JUSTIN BIEBER completed his headline set last night despite battling a blocked nose.
Yes, one of the world's biggest superstars told tens of thousands of fans who paid through the, er, nose to see him live he was having a "rough night", despite earlier attempting to clear his nostrils with a Vicks inhaler.
Following Sweden's TOVE LO, above, who again swapped her bra for nipple stickers, Justin started his set with a nod to ITV2 show Love Island, launching himself on stage dressed like a member of BLAZIN' SQUAD.
The Canadian singer, above left, secured trademark screams from his hardcore following during the opening numbers, despite showing as much stage movement as LEONA LEWIS.
And even when he did venture off the main stage on to the runway with fans either side, his dance moves where lacklustre and out of time compared to his backing dancers.
Keeping words to a minimum, he referred to his London crowd directly just twice.
Justin performed a tame version of global hit Love Yourself, which must have disappointed fans hoping for an epic singalong.
He was lucky that mega hits What Do You Mean?, Baby and Sorry turned out to be show-rescuing tracks.
He even showed some enthusiasm during the latter number.
Justin's got some decent tunes but he is light years away from becoming the ultimate showman, even when he's not got the sniffles.
It's a Green Day-dream
BILLIE JOE ARMSTRONG has lost none of the youthful vigour that made GREEN DAY one of the world’s most exciting live acts in the Nineties.
And now at 45, the singer wants to prove that “rock and roll music can bring the world together”.
The band’s career-defining epic American Idiot remained the basis for their impressive two-hour plus set at Hyde Park on Saturday night.
The 60,000-strong crowd was kept engaged, singing and, of course, moshing for every minute.
Never has the message of their famous 2004 album seemed more relevant.
Green Day are one of my favourite bands in the world because of their ability to deliver a mix of huge fun (Welcome To Paradise and Bang Bang) and deep emotion (Boulevard Of Broken Dreams and Jesus Of Suburbia) in their set.
Billie’s desire to get his fans involved is a trademark – the moment he brings superfans from the pit to sing and play guitar on stage induces goosebumps.
Their covers medley – including Teenage Kicks, Hey Jude and Always Look On The Bright Side of Life – was inspired.
And a second encore of Ordinary World followed by 21 Guns leading into their anthem Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life) was as beautiful a trio of songs as you’ll see performed on stage by a pop punk band.
Green Day deserve to remain a music force for another three decades.
Jay and Kanye's Tidal drift
WHEN Tidal launched in 2015, KANYE WEST was standing right beside JAY Z to back the rapper’s streaming service.
But fast-forward two and a half years and it has torn the former pals and collaborators apart, with Kanye quitting as a co-owner in a bitter legal dispute.
Kanye has claimed he is owed £2.3million by the streaming site after helping it rack up 1.5million subscribers when he exclusively released his album The Life Of Pablo via the platform last year.
But Jay’s company insists Kanye hasn’t fulfilled a contract requiring him to make music videos to premiere on Tidal – and plans to sue Kanye if he goes elsewhere.
Their feud has been bubbling away under the surface for some time, with Kanye dissing Jay on stage at a concert in November. And Jay mocked Kanye’s ego on his new album 4:44.
This isn’t going to end well.
