After six years of dating, Taron Egerton has allegedly split from his longtime partner Emily Thomas. The Rocketman star recently backed out of his West End show for ‘personal reasons,’ and according to a source, he’s been struggling with a break-up behind the scenes.

Egerton is said to have deleted photos of Emily, who worked as an assistant director on blockbusters such as Wonder Woman, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and Justice League, from his Instagram page, and is reportedly signed up for the dating app Raya in the hopes of moving on. Similarly, American comedian Ali Wong also separated from her husband Justin Hakuta after 8-years-of marriage.

According to a source, Taron and Emily have been incredibly busy for the past year, which has put a lot of pressure on their relationship. They’ve broken up, and it hasn’t been easy for them. He’s taking some time for himself right now, but he’s willing to meet someone else soon.

It’s not the first time Taron and Emily have called it quits, as the couple called it quits in late 2018 before reconciling four months later. Similarly, Ben Stiller also reconciled with his estranged wife Christine Taylor after lockdown. During their separation, the actor stated that he was reinventing himself by shaving his hair after playing Sir Elton John in Rocketman.

‘It was very cathartic and also, not to put a downer on things, I split up with my girlfriend not long ago and it weirdly felt a bit like reinvention… to sort of change the way I look,’ Taron said. 

It comes after the 32-year-old actor left the revival of Mike Bartlett‘s 2009 musical Cock at London’s Ambassador Theatre earlier this month. Joel Harper-Jackson will take up the part of M in Cock until the conclusion of the run, stated a statement from the production.

According to the statement, Joel was an understudy for the position and had been performing the part of M for the past ten days, while Taron was missing from the production, having tested positive for Covid.

When Cock premiered in early March, it was said that Taron passed out on stage, prompting one of his co-stars to interrupt the show and an audience medic to come to his rescue. A few weeks later, he tested positive for Covid.
