Divorcing Darkest Hour director jets into JFK with his latest girl

THEY say the darkest hour is before the dawn... How fitting then that director Joe Wright was snapped for the first time with his new girlfriend, Hollywood bombshell Haley Bennett, 30, days after confirming his marriage is over.

The director, 45, whose Winston Churchill biopic Darkest Hour is up for Best Film at the Oscars, wheeled their luggage across the terminal at New York’s JFK airport as The Girl On The Train star Haley helped him steer the trolley towards a waiting car.

Just days ago Wright confirmed the end of his seven-year marriage to iconic sitar player Ravi Shankar’s daughter, Anoushka, 36, right, with whom he has two young sons.

The new lovebirds were recently spotted at the Critics’ Choice Awards in LA after appearing together at a Palm Springs film gala on January 2. And at a pre-Golden Globes party Wright was seen carrying around Bennett’s pet terrier, River, and introducing it to friends.

Wright has a habit of breaking hearts. In 2007 he got engaged to Rosamund Pike — who played Jane Bennet in his adaption of Pride & Prejudice — but called off their wedding just two weeks before the big day.
