Wednesday 6 July 2022 09:42 AM Mom of Damian Lewis's rumored girlfriend gushes over their new romance trends now
British actor Damian Lewis has got the seal of approval from his new rock singer girlfriend's mother who says she can't wait to meet the Homeland star.
Fourteen months after the agony of losing his wife Helen McCrory to cancer, Lewis, 51, has been spotted on a string of dates with US musician and visual artist Alison Mosshart.
The pair met through friends while hanging out in London and have grown increasingly fond of one another, Mosshart's mum Vivian, 76, has revealed.
Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com from her home in Florida, Vivien, 76, said: 'I don't know how much flak I'm going to get for all of this but of course we are excited for her.
'They have mutual friends. I don't know exactly how they met but I'm fine with it. If she's happy, we are happy. I'm yet to meet him but certainly I'd like to.'

Mosshart, 43, is the frontwoman of The Kills, the band she co-founded with guitarist Jamie Hince, the ex-husband of Kate Moss.
A member of US supergroup The Dead Weather, formed by Jack White of The White Stripes, she splits her time between London, Los Angeles, and Nashville and has never been married.
She and father-of-two Lewis were first photographed together last month at a swank fundraising party for London's National Gallery.

A fellow passenger who spotted the pair travelling to the event by train told The Mail on Sunday the two looked '100 per cent romantically involved – like they were on a hot date.'
Lewis and Mosshart were seen again last week at the Serpentine Gallery's annual summer party, one of the highlights of the British capital's social season.
And this past weekend the loved-up pair were once more snapped at the British Formula One Grand Prix at Silverstone, with Mosshart taking to Instagram afterwards to write: 'The absolute thrill. I'm still floating… at 200 miles per hour.'
