Jameela Jamil and boyfriend James Blake looked happier than ever as they enjoyed a loved-up date on day one of the Wimbledon Championships 2024 on Monday.
The actress and TV presenter, 38, and the musician, 35, cosied up at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in south-west London – just hours after James’ Glastonbury headline set on the Woodsies stage on Sunday evening.
Enjoying the first day of the tennis tournament, Jameela looked stylish in a navy midi dress with a white trim bow V-neckline and a matching band around the waist.
The activist wore a pair of eye-catching round sunglasses and opted for a pair of white heeled sling-back shoes for the day.
James cut a smart figure in a beige suit which he teamed with a matching T-shirt, trainers and a crossbody bag – a far cry from the usual Glastonbury attire on Worthy Farm.

The couple seemed in good spirits as they held hands and posed for pictures at the event – which will no doubt hold special memories for them after they went public with their romance at Wimbledon back in 2015.
The night before, James took to the stage to perform to festival goers at Worthy Farm and brought out a surprise guest.
James shocked the jammed crowd by bringing out British rapper Dave to perform their hit 2021 track, Both Sides Of A Smile.
Earlier this year Jameela gave a rare insight into her life with James in a hilarious ‘life in the day feature’ in the Sunday Times Magazine.
The presenter gave a detailed insight into her daily routine which includes lots of cake, coffee and gossip, and ending the day ‘clinging to James’s bum’.
Jameela lives in Los Angeles with James, two flatmates and two dogs, Barold and Winnie.
Explaining how she starts her day, Jameela wrote: ‘I wake up at 8am, James makes the coffee and we sit in bed and gossip. My day has to start with laughter, coffee and cake.’
‘As someone who had anorexia for 20 years, my first thought used to be: “Don’t eat any cake today.” It’s liberating to now look forward to it. Our flatmates, two boys I met when I was 19, might join us. It’s not sh***ing, just to make that clear.’

Jameela revealed that she can work when she wants to and typically works from home, as she’s in a ‘position of luxury’ due to not having children.
After work, the couple typically go on a one-hour long walk, before James cooks them an Italian meal.
She went on to say: ‘After dinner we watch TV. I always fall asleep then wake up, deny it and gaslight James for half an hour. I’d rather admit to murder. In bed he falls asleep instantly while I lie awake wondering if I can extend the life of my dogs for ever.
‘We sleep under three weighted blankets and I play a game on my phone to help me stop thinking about how terrible the world is. I fall asleep like a monkey on a branch, clinging to James’s bum.’
Jameela also admitted she doesn’t like attending work events due to her ‘social anxiety’, but attends most of James’ gigs.
Born in London, Jameela relocated to America in 2016 where she has lived ever since.
She first sparked dating rumours with James after sharing a cosy snap together during her birthday celebration in February 2015.
A few months after posting their first Instagram together, the couple seemingly went public with their romance as they attended the Wimbledon Tennis Championships.
In 2019, several years after going public with their romance, the couple made their red carpet debut as they attended the InStyle and Warner Bros. Golden Globes afterparty.
The pair rarely discuss each other in interviews but James opened up about how his girlfriend inspired him to be more outspoken about his feelings with Dazed magazine.
‘It feels good now to just be able to tell people how I feel. I think it’s because I met my girlfriend, and there was no room for pretence. She speaks her mind.
‘It was like, “Tell me how you feel. Tell me what you’re thinking.” In my everyday life, I wasn’
t being encouraged to sit behind metaphor or sit behind long silences or be in a mood without explaining what it’s about.’
James and Jameela have been together since 2015
