When did Damon Albarn split from Suzi Winstanley?

This blossoming romance with Freckleton comes four years after Albarn ended his long-term partnership with artist Suzi Winstanley. The former couple officially went their separate ways in 2020 after nearly twenty-five years together, having raised their daughter, Coco, during their quarter-century union. The end of his long relationship was a profound shift for the musician, who previously admitted to leaning heavily on his music to process the emotional fallout. Albarn channeled much of that lingering heartache into his creative work, notably inspiring track themes on Blur's 2023 reunion album *The Ballad of Darren*. Now, four years removed from his painful split, the Britpop pioneer looks completely ready for his next act. Wandering through Notting Hill with Freckleton by his side, Albarn is making it known that he has officially moved on and is loving every minute of it.
