Will Poulter 'splits from older girlfriend' as romance rumours with Top Boy actress heat up

Will Poulter is said to have split from his model girlfriend after three years together. The Bear star, 32, and model Bobby T, 45, have reportedly quietly gone their separate ways, with rumours suggesting Will has already moved on.

The duo were initially spotted kissing in 2022, but have now called time on their romance, according to reports. It has led to speculation Will is getting to know Top Boyactress Saffron Hocking.

Will and Saffron, 31, were seen having lunch together recently after they had enjoyed time together at Glastonbury last month. Speaking of Will and Bobby's romance, a source said the pair realised their connection "wasn't going to last long term".

It's said Bobby's main priority remains her son and she lives in America. Will, meanwhile is said to have struggled with balancing the distance and work.

The source continued to tell The Sun: "He’s known Saffron for a while but they have been spending more time together recently. They were both hosted by Barbour at Glasto and got on like a house on fire. It’s very early days and while they might be telling people they are just friends, the sparks between them are obvious to everyone."

Saffron starred in the Netflix series of Top Boy as Lauryn. She played the part of the pregnant mum-to-be who suffers domestic abuse before deciding to take matters into her own hands. Her performance earned her a TV BAFTA nomination.

It's thought Will and Saffron first met two years ago. At the time they were both said to be working on a Friend of the Earth campaign.

Born and raised in London, Will first broke into the acting industry when he was just 13 years old. While his career was taking off, the young actor was privately dealing with an OCD diagnosis.

Earlier this year, he opened up about the condition during an appearance on Fearne Cotton's Happy Place podcast. He revealed that he was diagnosed as a teenager and said he recalled having intrusive thoughts, a common symptom of OCD, throughout his childhood.

However, he said the issue had a child-like 'imaginative spin' as he was growing up. The actor explained: "It [the OCD] just had a different and typically imaginative spin on it for a child. I can remember having this voice in my head, telling me if I didn't walk on certain paving stones on the way up to my mum and dad's house, something terrible was going to happen to them."

"I was really lucky. I got access to therapy in my early teens. I was probably 14 when I first started experiencing obsessive compulsive thoughts and the ruminations and intrusive thoughts," he added.

Will also confessed: "Until it was diagnosed and until I received that therapy, I just thought I was totally alone with this condition, or not even condition at that time, this way of thinking, with this defunct brain. I was so scared.

"And that I think is the scariest thing about any mental health issues and you can never underestimate how alone someone can feel in their state."
