Shouldn’t Cinderella have left the ball at midnight? Lily James and £6.5bn Airbnb chief hit the town till 4am

Cinderella star Lily James enjoyed a 4am night out last week – but probably didn’t have to worry about finding somewhere to stay at that hour.

The actress was seen leaving celebrity hangout Chiltern Firehouse with American billonaire Brian Chesky – who just happens to be chief executive of Airbnb. 

Despite the late hour, Lily, 35, looked elegant in a black faux fur coat, leather trousers and slingback stiletto heel

But US entrepreneur Chesky – said to be worth £6.2billion – seemed keen not to be spotted with the Downton Abbey star, leaving the nightspot via a back entrance and attempting to hide his face as they climbed into a waiting Range Rover together.

It is not clear how the pair know each other.

Chesky, 43, who co-founded the short-term-rental app in 2007, is the 355th richest person in the world, according to Forbes, and was in a long-term relationship with artist Elissa Patel until their split in 2022.

He has more recently been linked with Sports Illustrated model Brooks Nader.

Meanwhile, Lily’s relationship history is famously colourful. She has dated Queens of the Stone Age bassist Michael Shuma, but it is unclear if they are still together.

Lily was also linked to married actor Dominic West while they filmed The Pursuit of Love together. And she had a five-year relationship with former Doctor Who Matt Smith.

The actress will be back on the big screen next year in a reboot of 1993 thriller Cliffhanger. 

She is also set to appear in Swiped, a film based on the life of Whitney Wolfe Herd, who founded online dating platform Bumble, so maybe Chesky can offer her some insight into the life of a tech tycoon.
