WARWICK Davis’ new girlfriend has been revealed as a hypnotherapist who has two children, with the couple smitten and already living together.
The Harry Potter star, whose wife Samantha died in 2024, affectionately referred to his new partner as “Sponge” in a speech last year.
The Sun was the first to reveal the actor’s new girlfriend’s identity, with more information now coming to light.
New information reveals Warwick’s ‘Sponge’ is called Philippa Morris, who sometimes goes by the name ‘Yvette’ when she is attending professional events , and she is a 40-year-old mum of two and a qualified hypnotherapist.
The Daily Mail reports how she she set up a clinic in a west country seaside resort back in 2023.
At the clinic, Philippa offered clients personalised “rapid remedy therapy” sessions, as per the paper.
It is understood the couple have now set up home together in the village where her clinic is situated.
The couple are said to reside in a detached three storey house.
A resident of the area told the outlet: “They spend a lot of time going out for lunches. It’s all very relaxed. Everybody recognises Warwick and people go up to say hello but nobody bothers them.”
The source explained how they often see the smitten couple out and about together, as well as Warwick on his own.
“They have been a couple for some time and they seem very comfortable together,” the source continued.
Sources previously told The Sun how American-born Philippa, who Warwick said had helped him “to laugh and to love again”, was his formal date when he received his OBE from Prince William at Windsor Castle earlier this month.
The Sun also revealed she attended the Bafta Film Awards with the Harry Potter star, 56, at London’s Royal Festival Hall last month.
And they were also seen backstage together at a Madness concert in Cornwall last July.
A source told The Sun: “Warwick has been with Philippa for over a year now and they couldn’t be happier.
“She has no interest in being a public figure and — although she has accompanied Warwick to events — she does not court the limelight.
“She is so proud of Warwick and loves to be by his side at events, but she will stand back and allow him to be in the spotlight.
“Philippa is close with his children and they have a lovely life together.
“All anyone wanted was to see Warwick happy and he has that with her.”
Warwick has found happiness again following the tragic death of his wife Samantha, who had a cardiac arrest during a spinal operation in April 2024.
Philippa has also suffered a personal tragedy before.
Her husband, who is the father of her children, died when he was in his forties.
Warwick revealed he had started dating again at the Bafta Film Awards in February last year.
After accepting the Bafta Fellowship on stage, he said: “Above all I’d like to dedicate and thank my wonderful wife Sammy, who died almost a year ago.
“Since then life has been pretty tough for me, but thanks to the support of our wonderful children Annabel and Harrison, I’ve been able to continue working and engaging in life.
“A special mention too should go to Sponge, you know who you are.
“Thank you for showing me that life can still have meaning and helping me to laugh and to love again.”
