MailOnline have contacted Alfie’s reps for comment. 

In 2023, Alfie reportedly enjoyed a secret and fleeting romance Ted Lᴀsso star Hannah, with the tenor supporting her backstage when she presented the Eurovision Song Contest in Liverpool.

With a source revealing to The Sun that those close to Hannah, 50, managed to ‘sneak Alfie in backstage’ during Eurovision to keep the relationship under wraps.

The pair have moved in similar circles for years but have always been dating other people. Yet at the end of 2022 they began dating and enjoyed a couple of dinners at places like Scott’s in Richmond.

The source said: ‘With Hannah’s career mᴀssively in the ascendancy, she was keen to let her work, not personal life, do the talking so they deliberately kept things quiet.

‘It was especially hard to keep things under wraps during the madness of Eurovision when all the spotlight was on her.

‘But they managed to sneak Alfie in backstage and kept things low-key. Things have fizzled out but they remain on friendly terms.’

MailOnline has contacted both Hannah and Alfie’s representatives for comment.

In 2022 the pair performed on screen together in a West End video collaboration of Vera Lynn’s We’ll Meet Again and have been pictured at the same events over the years.

Alfie was previously married to his ex-wife Sarah with whom he shares children, Grace, 20, and Alfred, 16.

In August 2020 the pair split after 16 years of marriage and it was reported that Alfie was allegedly looking for women on celebrity dating app Raya.

The star told friends his marriage was over after months of difficulties during lockdown but  denied reports that he has the dating app. 

It was also reported in 2020 that the West End star started exchanging messages with a woman, who was said to be a broadcaster 16 years his junior, from December 2018 for five months, until his performance at London’s Royal Albert Hall in April 2019.

A source told The Sun at the time: ‘She was sat in the friends and family section, and when Alfie said he was dedicating The Way You Look Tonight to ‘someone special’ she nudged her pal thinking he meant her.

The source added of Alfie: ‘Alfie was so charming that she fell for him completely. He even rang her at midnight on New Year’s Eve, which she really appreciated.’ 

‘When he paid tribute to Sarah — after claiming for months that he wasn’t happy — and then blocked her that same night, it made her feel worthless.’

Alfie said in a statement to MailOnline: ‘After speculation about my marriage to Sarah ending, I can confirm that we have separated.

‘I have nothing but love and respect for Sarah who’s been an incredible partner and an amazing mother to our two beautiful children and everything is very amicable.’

A number of stars have used the exclusive app Raya to find love, where users have to be approved after submitting an application.

Past users have included Emma Watson, Cara Delevingne, Lily Allen, Jack Whitehall, and Kelly Osbourne.

But Alfie denied his involvement in the app, saying: ‘Other parts of the story though are absolute nonsense, I would just kindly ask for respect of our privacy during this time as we work things out and I thank you all for your welcomed support.’

In the pictures Alfie was seen with mother-of-one Liv, who he is believed to have met online, at The Allis restaurant in White City. 

An onlooker told The Sun: ‘They were smiling all evening. They chatted and laughed and seemed relaxed. Alfie was taking the lead and was keen to impress. She’d made an effort to dress up and hung on his every word.’
