The pair, who both use celebrity dating app Raya, were spotted together at the Lido Festival in East London throughout Saturday.
They shunned VIP areas to watch artists together, including Charli XCX.
An eyewitness told The Sun: “Lily and James appeared to be on a date. They were together for the day and were chatting and laughing together as they watched Charli XCX.
“Lily was leaning into him at one point. She and James seemed really relaxed together and she was really making him giggle.
“They were drinking non-alcoholic beer and queued at the bar like all the other punters. People were doing double-takes when they saw them together.
“Because they’re both on Raya it seems like they might have matched with each other.
“And Lido is a great first date because there is so much to do.”
Pop star Lily split from her Stranger Things actor husband David Harbour, 50, last year.
The mum of two reactivated her Raya account after the break-up. She joked in her profile that she was “looking for someone to start couples therapy with”.
Happy Valley star James briefly dated model Charlotte Rose Smith, 25, but they quietly ended their romance this year. Last month his profile was also spotted on Raya, with a handful of pictures.
James was engaged to actress Imogen Poots, 36, but the pair split in 2023.
He hinted their break-up was not his doing,
Lily has thrown herself into work since her marital split — including a starring role in a new adaptation of Hedda Gabler at Bath’s Theatre Royal.
She had a pop at her exes earlier this year, saying: “I don’t think there has been one person that has been remotely interested in my pleasure.”
