Meet Lisa Makin, partner of actor Lenny Henry
Lenny first found success as a comedian in the late 1970s and early 1980s. In 1985, along with comedy writer Richard Curtis, he founded the charity Comic Relief. As of this writing, Comic Relief has raised over a billion dollars.
As an actor, Lenny has appeared on numerous television shows, including Tiswas, Chef!, The Magicians, and others. He currently stars in the Amazon Prime series The Lord of the Rings: The Tower of the Rings.
Actor Lenny Henry has begun a new relationship with theater producer and casting director Lisa Makin several years after his divorce from comedian Dawn French in 2010.
In 2012, Lenny told The Mirror that he was happy with his new relationship. He further said, “It is different and beautiful. Life changes and life goes on. It is as if one chapter closed and another opened. It’s good and it’s growing, and that’s fantastic.”
Lenny and his partner Lisa have been pretty low-key about their relationship. However, their fans got a glimpse of their life together when Lenny appeared on Louis Theroux’s Grounded podcast in May 2020.
During the interview, Lenny said the word “partner” many times. At approximately 29 minutes and 25 seconds, the actor called out, “Hooray, she’s here with a cup of tea. Hooray!” Lenny then clarified what he said by saying “Mr. Mrs.”
The adorable duo also recently attended the National Theater’s Up Next fundraising gala in London. Lenny wore a black suit with a matching tie and a clean white shirt, while his partner Lisa wore a bright red sequined jacket and black blouse.
Lenny and his ex-wife Dawn were a couple for 25 years before deciding to divorce in 2010. The couple met when they were both members of the Comic Strip in 1980. Four years later they got married.
Following the split, the duo explained, “The divorce is completely amicable, and they intend to maintain their close friendship. Her priority is to dedicate herself to the future co-parenting of her daughter.”
Lenny and Dawn also have a daughter, Billie, whom they decided to co-parent after the divorce. The former couple adopted Billie in 1991 when she was just two weeks old.
In an interview with the Mirror, Lenny said that the divorce process was not difficult for him. In fact, he said the divorce brought him closer to his daughter Billie.
On the other hand, Dawn was happy that she was able to easily turn their 25-year marriage into a lasting friendship. She said: “I am in awe of us, there is no war and we have turned out to be the best of friends.”
Meanwhile, Dawn told The Mirror: “Interestingly, we seem to have gone from a 25-year marriage to a long-lasting friendship with relative ease.
Dawn has been married to therapist Mark Bignell since September 2022. The two got married in 2013. Lenny and his daughter attended the wedding.
