Bill Nighy has made it clear he and Anna Wintour are not dating.
Veteran British actor Bill Nighy has denied that he and journalist Dame Anna Wintour are in a relationship.

The 73-year-old actor's representative issued a statement clarifying that the two were just good friends and had been so for two decades. “Bill and Anna have simply been great friends for two decades. They are not in a relationship," the statement read.
These rumours had earlier surfaced after they were seen dining together in Italy in 2021 and watching Nighy's film at various screenings in New York last year.
The annual Met Gala event took place in New York and was dedicated to the late fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld, attracting A-listers from various fields. Dua Lipa and Michaela Coel were among the first celebrities to arrive and both expressed gratitude to Dame Anna for hosting the prestigious event in 2023.
