James Norton, the 39-year-old actor known for his role in Happy Valley and a strong contender for the next James Bond, has reportedly split from his girlfriend, model and artist Charlotte Rose Smith. Following their breakup, Norton has appeared on the exclusive celebrity dating app Raya, featuring photos with a newly shaved head—his look for the upcoming film Sunny Dancer, which he is currently filming in Scotland alongside Bella Ramsey. While Norton appears ready to move on and focus on his family and career, Smith has shared cryptic TikTok posts alluding to heartbreak and healing through art.
