It seems Anna and Bill have known each other for many years – as the pair have been spotted together at numerous fashion shows, theaters and restaurants since 2015.
They were first linked romantically in the summer of 2021 when they were spotted on a series of dates together in Rome.
On one occasion, the pair were seen wrapping their arms around each other before sitting down to enjoy an al fresco meal. And during another dinner, Bill was photographed giving Anna roses.
The couple reportedly became close following Anna’s split from her partner, 16-year-old Shelby Bryan, in October 2020.
Meanwhile, Bill’s last known relationship was with English actress Diana Quick. The couple began a romance in 1980 and welcomed a daughter – Mary Nighy – in 1984. They were together for 28 years before splitting in 2008.
Hours before the Met began, the notoriously frigid editor was caught sharing a heartfelt moment with her one-year-old grandson during the final Met Gala prep meeting.
Anna’s daughter Bee Carrozzini shared the touching snap to her Instagram Stories on Monday morning.

“Last Met meeting,” Bee, 35, captioned it.
Described by some as fashion’s biggest night, the Met Gala takes place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
Every year, on the first Monday of May, Hollywood’s biggest celebrities strut down the red carpet in their most extravagant and lavish outfits, many of which are obsessively talked about by the public.
People from around the world eagerly await the red carpet photos to hit the internet as the stars try to outdo each other with their looks.
It’s no secret that Anna is very picky about planning the event, with some even describing her as “militant” in the weeks leading up to the gala while chatting with author Amy Odell in the book Anna: The Biography.
Amy spoke to various Met employees and other people who worked with Anna for the tome, which came out last May, and according to the author, Anna does not learn the names of Met employees during the preparations, which begin six months before the party – but instead she simply points at them and calls them “you”.
Amy reported that Anna controls every aspect of the guest list and decides who is “in” and who is “out”.
At the time, she said the “out” list included Paris and Nicole Hilton, “underperforming artists,” and all the planners who annoyed her throughout the process.
As for the “in” list, Amy explained that anyone whose “success, power, creativity and beauty is undeniable is eligible to enter.”
Some start out “in” and then go “out,” like the late André Leon Talley, who worked with her for many years at Vogue but later claimed their relationship left “emotional and psychological scars.”

Reportedly, Anna pays attention to every single detail throughout the night. Anna plans the seating chart for the 2015 Met Gala
Others weren’t allowed to come at first but later made it onto the list — like Kim Kardashian, who has attended every year since 2013.
And your decision about whether you’re “in” or “out” goes beyond the party. According to former Vogue director and longtime friend of Anna, Lisa Love, once you’re on Anna’s bad side, there’s no chance of returning to her inner circle.
“If you get frozen by her, that’s it. She’s a scorpion, you’re done. It’s so cold,’ she said.
Regarding the outfits, Amy reported that Anna encourages guests to wear over-the-top looks.
“It’s that English part of her. She loves costume parties,’ Lisa explained.
Former Met Gala planner Stephanie Winston Wolkoff explained that during the party Anna usually insists that Vogue staffers know every single detail about each celebrity’s arrival – including when they will get there (each star has their own appointed time ), what car they have will be coming in and what they are carrying.
Reportedly, Anna pays attention to every single detail throughout the night. Lisa recalled the executive asking her, “Could you please tell Kim Kardashian to sit down?” during the 2019 Met Gala, noting the reality star stood throughout the dinner.
Two other people close to Wintour recalled a time when she asked the Met to reconstruct the historic Temple of Dendur – a Roman-Egyptian temple built in 15 BC When they disagreed, she decided to build a stage in front of it for the guests would not see them.
