Both Father and Daughter Find Happiness: Warwick Davis Goes Public With New Love After Tragic Death of Wife Samantha – As Daughter Annabelle Shares Sweet Moment With Mystery Boyfriend

Annabelle Davis, daughter of Harry Potter actor Warwick Davis, has shared a rare and tender moment with her boyfriend Charlie, as the Davis family gradually heals following the heartbreaking loss of Warwick’s wife, Samantha.

The 28-year-old actress, best known for her role in The Dumping Ground, looked radiant in a pink floral dress as she gazed lovingly at Charlie during a recent summer event. The pair, who began dating in 2021, tend to keep their relationship private, but this new snap gave fans a glimpse into their affectionate bond.

Charlie, a music producer and photographer, coordinated with Annabelle in a navy suit and pink tie. The couple’s shared passions for creativity and caravanning have helped them grow closer — and continue a treasured Davis family holiday tradition.

Their public appearance comes just months after Warwick, 54, revealed he had quietly found love again, a year after the death of his beloved wife, Samantha. She tragically passed away in March 2024 due to cardiac arrest caused by complications following spinal surgery. Warwick’s legal team is now looking into whether medical negligence may have contributed to her untimely death.

During a moving speech at the BAFTAs in February, Warwick paid tribute to Samantha and appeared to hint at a new romance. Fighting back tears, he said: “Special mention should go to Sponge – you know who you are. Thank you for showing me that life can still have meaning and for helping me to laugh and to love again.”

Later on The Jonathan Ross Show, Warwick was asked about the identity of ‘Sponge’. With a wink to his Harry Potter past, he joked: “Sponge is indeed She-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named,” though he did describe her as someone who reminded him of Kerry Mucklowe from This Country, adding, “Some of the things she says and her accent… it’s uncanny.”

Warwick’s deep love for Samantha was evident throughout his BAFTA speech, as their children Annabelle and Harrison watched on from the front row. Recalling Samantha’s constant encouragement, he said: “She would always say ‘get out there and do it’. She was brilliant at networking — she got me so many jobs.”

The couple first met in their teens on the set of Willow in 1988. They married in 1991 and shared a love that spanned more than three decades.
