Sir Lenny Henry was pictured with his girlfriend Lisa Makin at Wimbledon on Monday – and the comedian looked happier than ever.
The 66-year-old TV legend was dressed to the nines in an on-trend butter yellow suit as he joined his partner of 13 years in the Royal Box on Centre Court.
Colour coordinating to perfection, the Broadchurch star styled his smart look with a red striped tie and a pistachio green shirt, adding a jazzy pair of white-rimmed sunglasses.
Theatre director Lisa looked lovely in a grey pinstripe suit with a quirky green brooch pinned to the lapel of her double-breasted jacket.
Donning a funky pair of round shades, she perfectly matched her long-time love Lenny, proving that the pair are perfectly in sync.
The duo were in great company in the Royal Box as they were seated next to fellow funnyman Michael McIntyre, who kept the jokes flowing over the course of the afternoon.

For many fans of British comedy, there’s no union quite as iconic as Lenny and Dawn French’s.

They have remained on good terms for the sake of their daughter Billie, whom they adopted in 1991.
Dawn previously told The Mirror that her marriage to Lenny was “very happy” and has seamlessly shifted into a “lasting friendship”.

“I am amazed by us. There is no war, we’ve turned out to be the best of friends. There were lots of good years but one tricky last year.”
Lenny’s relationship with Lisa

Lisa is credited as a casting director for a number of mini-series including Peaches, Mine All Mine, Aberfan: The Untold Story and more.
The pair memorably put on a loved-up display when they attended a press night for Matilda The Musical in 2022.

During an interview with The Times, the Three of a Kind star was reminiscing about his wedding party with Dawn in 1984, when he was asked whether he could see himself tying the knot again.
Laughing, Lenny replied: “Have you been talking to Lisa? No comment.”
