Kate’s toyboy’s ex-lover a year younger than her daughter
KATE Beckinsale’s grungy rock star boyfriend dated a social media influencer who is a year younger than her daughter, Lily.
Goody Grace, 22, had a long-term relationship with American Instagram star Sahar Luna, 20, before he met Kate – 24 years his senior – in January.
Grace, real name Branson Gudmundson, described his former love as ‘super cool’ in an interview, but they are understood to have split last year.
On her social media accounts, Ms Luna has posted a series of raunchy photos of herself, in one holding what looks to be a spliff while holidaying in Amsterdam. She also took part in the music video that accompanied Grace’s song, Memories. Grace, who is Canadian and grew up on a trailer park in a small town in Manitoba, also revealed he has a tattoo on his wrist of a character from the romantic supernatural movie The Shape Of Water, saying: ‘I love everything to do with love.’
But it isn’t just the age difference between Kate, 46, who has a 21year-old daughter, Lily, from her relationship with actor Michael Sheen, and her latest lover that makes them an unlikely couple. Their backgrounds could hardly be more different too.
While she is the Oxford-educated daughter of Porridge star Richard Beckinsale and actress Judy Loe, Grace was brought up by a single mother, Tammy, who struggled to make ends meet working in casinos. His brother, Allan, works as a miner. And Kate, who split with American film director Len Wiseman in 2016, might be keen to know that Grace’s idol is Travis Barker – the bad boy drummer of US rock band Blink-182.
