Aisling Bea and Michael Sheen go Instagram official. Irish comedian Aisling Bea has seemingly confirmed she is in a relationship with Michael Sheen after she posted a picture of them together on Instagram.

The pair have been rumoured to be in a relationship for the past couple of months when they were spotted together at the Olivier Awards in London.

Aisling has posted a picture of the pair at a charity event in New York.

The comedian used the caption to talk about the work the organisation does, saying: “Today Michael of Wales & I went to visit the @helprefugeesuk store in New York – the sister pop up to the London one off Carnaby street. Today’s #aislingrecommendsecoorsociallyconsciousbrandseverydayuntilxmas is close to my heart as I’ve seen the amazing work these guys do first hand with the @theguiltyfeminist ‘s trip to Calais.

You can go in & buy clothing or as alternative Xmas presents for people who have everything, you can buy something for a person during the worst time in their lives. The size of some of the life jackets they need would break your heart. You get a Little Xmas card in return to give to someone so you still get to hand over a thing.

Also they’re donating some of the profits to UK & US homeless charities & in the US money for legal help also goes towards the people on the Mexican border who need reuniting with their families. There is no easy solution or end to the refugee crisis. But the simple act of humanity in the present when we can- food, warmth, shelter during horrific conditions is how we show we still have hope, that in the messy cruel world of politics & the wars raging all over the place we don’t want to see people drowning or freezing in camps or a seven year old die of dehydration in border patrol custody.

It may sound hippy dippy but #ChooseLove because with the opposite, nobody wins. Also big shout out to Steve & the gang @refugeecommunitykitchen who make delicious warm fresh meals every day for 100s of people all done by volunteers (sic)”

Michael was previously in a relationship with Sarah Silverman but the pair split last year.
