Michelle Dockery opts for a black crop top as she takes a dog walk in London with fiancé Jasper Waller-Bridge
Michelle Dockery was seen Tuesday heading out for a dog walk with fiancé Jasper Waller-Bridge after completing her promotional duties for Downton Abbey: A New Era.
The 40-year-old actress opted for a relaxed black crop top and matching leggings while walking her pet Whippet at a nearby park.
Michelle, whose engagement to Jasper was first revealed in January, had been promoting the sequel to the first Downton Abbey film, with the sequel eventually being released last month to positive reviews.

Michelle showed off her toned abs in a black Puma crop top and matching leggings as she strolled through the park with her husband-to-be Jasper.
The couple were joined by their beloved dog for a low-key stroll, during which Michelle went makeup-free for the outing.
The ‘Downton Abbey’ star has been in a relationship with ‘Fleabag’ star Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s sister since 2019, and news of their upcoming wedding was revealed to The Times newspaper in January.

The announcement read: “The engagement is between Jasper, son of Michael Waller-Bridge of King’s Lynn, Norfolk, and Teresa Waller-Bridge of Battersea, London, and Michelle Dockery, younger daughter of Michael and Lorraine Dockery of Gidea Park. Essex, announced.’
The actress met Jasper, creative director of sports, music, drama, comedy and entertainment company YMU Group, through mutual friends.
A source said at the time: “It’s all been taken slowly and deliberately but they really enjoy being together.
“Michelle has traveled extensively to promote the ‘Downton’ film, but they’ve been in constant touch…

“Her friends and families are very happy for her. It’s just so beautiful. Jasper is a bit younger than Michelle but he has dated other older women in the past and it seems to be working out for both of them.
“She remains a down to earth woman, dating an A-lister has never been her thing.”
It comes after Michelle was widowed following the death of her fiancé, John Dineen, in December 2015.
John died aged 34 after battling a rare form of cancer and Michelle said the couple are “married at heart”.

She shared: “I consider myself a widow, yes. We were engaged and married at heart, and therefore I consider myself a widow. This is the first time I’ve said this and it’s a bit of a relief to say it.”
Michelle also spoke about the devastation she felt when John was diagnosed and when he died.
In 2017, she said, “I don’t have the vocabulary to describe how it felt.
“And how it still feels. It’s… Excuse me, give me a minute. I’ve never been more committed to anything in my life than to him.
“So at the time everything just shut down. work, everything. Work didn’t matter. You suddenly become a [oncological] Expert. This stuff becomes your world and of course that was my priority.”
Expected: Michelle reprized her role as Lady Mary Crawley in the sequel Downton Abbey: A New Era, which was released in the UK last month
