Michael Pearson, the 4th Viscount Cowdray, is reportedly dating actress Victoria Tennant, the former wife of American comedian Steve Martin. Pearson, 82, has been linked with Tennant, 75, who was previously married to Martin from 1986 to 1994 after they starred together in the 1984 film "All of Me."
Friends of Viscount Cowdray have expressed delight at the news, stating that he seems to be on the verge of "new-found contentment" after a difficult period. His second wife, Marina, reportedly left him in the summer of 2023 after 37 years of marriage. Last year, he was also reported to be romantically involved with Philippa Devas, a woman 17 years his junior.
Pearson and Tennant were expected to make their public debut as a couple at the Cowdray Gold Cup final, a significant event in the polo season held annually on the Viscount's 16,500-acre estate in West Sussex. However, both were absent due to unexpected misfortunes: Pearson broke his arm after a fall, and Tennant was taken ill.
Tennant, who has earned Golden Globe and Emmy nominations, also starred in films alongside Sir Michael Caine. She has two children with her third husband, U.S. lawyer Kirk Stambler, to whom she reportedly remains married. Stambler has not responded to inquiries.
Viscount Cowdray's older son and heir, Peregrine Pearson, has reportedly rekindled his romance with "Game of Thrones" star Sophie Turner. Turner's divorce from American pop star Joe Jonas was finalized in 2024.
