Simone Ashley ‘splits from her businessman boyfriend’

Simone Ashley has reportedly split from her businessman boyfriend Tim Sykes after enjoying a loved-up summer together. 

Daily Mail revealed in September that the Bridgerton actress, 30, had started dating the grey-haired hunk after they pair locked lips at the US Open in New York.  

Now, the couple have gone their separate ways after ‘wanting different things’ with Simone unfollowing Tim on Instagram. 

A source told The Sun: ‘Simone and Tim enjoyed spending time together during the summer. They have since decided that they want different things, so have ended their romance.’

Tim is a managing partner of restaurant group Wish You Were Here Hospitality according to his LinkedIn page.

The group manages businesses all around the world including Elephante in Santa Monica, Dudleys in New York, Belle’s Beach House in Venice, Bar Bambino in Scottsdale, and Little Ruby’s Cafe with multiple locations in New York and one in Seoul, Korea.

Daily Mail have contacted Simone’s representatives for comment.  

In August, Simone set fan rumours about a new romance flying when she was spotted getting cozy with Joshua Jackson.

The 47-year-old Dawson’s Creek star was pictured strolling with the beauty on August 9 in New York City.

Jackson and Ashley were spending time together two years after his divorce from Jodie Turner-Smith, with whom he shares his five-year-old daughter Juno.

Simone had also got out of a relationship, as she revealed in February of this year that she and Constantin Klein had split after nearly three years together.

Her meet-up with Joshua was particularly intriguing, as it appeared to be the first time that the two have been pictured together.

They spent time together amid Joshua’s reunion with his Dawson’s Creek costar Katie Holmes. The two have been spotted filming scenes for their upcoming feature Happy Hours around the Big Apple in recent days.

Although Simone showed off a wide smile, and Joshua was also seen beaming at other points along their route, neither actor displayed any PDA.

The actress is best known for her role as Kate, Viscountess Bridgerton, who enters the historical romance after moving to England from India.

The actress, who was born in England to Indiana Tamil parents, is also known for starring on another Netflix series, Sex Education.

Her past roles have included supporting parts on Broadchurch and The Sister, but Ashley has lately been establishing herself as an in-demand film star. 

After small parts in Detective Pikachu and Disney’s live-action remake of The Little Mermaid, she scored a cameo as herself in Brad Pitt’s racing drama F1, and she has been spotted film an unspecified part in The Devil Wears Prada 2 recently.

It comes after Simone put on a very leggy display in a skimpy green lace mini dress which hugged her gorgeous figure during Milan Fashion Week in September.

The stunner slipped her feet into chic black heels which she matched with mini handbag while adding a pair of diamond earrings for a little extra sparkle.

Simone was in good spirits as she arrived at an intimate Versace event.
