Warwick Davis is turning a new page in his life, with his new girlfriend, affectionately known as Sponge, by his side. For the first time, the couple has been spotted together, and Warwick couldn’t be happier to share this new chapter.
The actor, who lost his beloved wife Sammy in 2024, has been open about how Sponge has helped him heal and rediscover love. At last year’s BAFTA Fellowship Award ceremony, Warwick delivered a heartfelt tribute to Sammy, crediting Sponge for showing him that “life can still have meaning” and for helping him “laugh and love again.”
In a heartwarming twist, Sponge was by Warwick’s side once again this week when he received his OBE at Windsor Castle from none other than Prince William. The family – including Warwick’s children Annabelle, 28, and Harrison, 23 – were present to support the actor, who was honored for his services to drama and charity.

Warwick, 56, was joined by Sponge as he proudly collected his honor from the Prince, but it wasn’t just the official recognition that stood out. During the ceremony, Prince William made a point of bending down to Warwick’s level, a gesture that Warwick appreciated. “It was lovely the way he came down to my level instead of standing and looking down at me,” he shared.
Warwick’s new journey is a testament to resilience, as he continues to honor Sammy’s memory while embracing a future with Sponge by his side. His story proves that love can blossom even in the darkest of times.
