Matt Bellamy has been photographed locking lips with AnneMarie Morin, sparking fresh headlines just weeks after he filed for divorce from his wife. The singer’s recent Instagram activity shows a public, PDA-filled moment at a Chicago bakery, and fans quickly reacted to the apparent new romance.
How the relationship appeared on social channels
Bellamy posted a slideshow from Cloud Cookie, the Chicago cookie shop founded by Morin. The caption played it light: “new part time job, boss is a tough cookie.” Several photos show the Muse frontman behind the counter.

Images include him placing cookies in an oven, serving customers, and sampling treats. One image, however, stood out above the rest. It captures Bellamy kissing Morin while she takes a selfie and he places his hand on her midriff. That frame became the focus of intense online attention.
The photograph appears to be the moment the pair publicly signaled their connection. The post quickly drew comments and shares across social platforms.
Fans react: surprise, jokes and skepticism
Comments to the post ranged from amused to incredulous. Many users noted the quick timing between Bellamy’s divorce filing and his public moments with Morin.
- Some praised the PDA as playful and harmless workplace fun.
- Others joked about office policies and boundaries.
- A number of followers expressed surprise at how fast public displays of affection followed the divorce news.
Reaction mixed amusement with scrutiny. Social feeds showed both laughter and pointed questions about timing and propriety.
Small signals that hinted at a budding romance
Before the kiss photo, there were more subtle social hints that the two might be close. Morin shared posts that later drew attention when Bellamy engaged with them.
Key social moments that preceded the bakery post
- Oct. 13: Morin uploaded an image from England showing her legs across a man’s lap. The man’s face was not visible. Bellamy later liked the post.
- Aug. 17: Morin tagged Bellamy in a photo from the Moab Desert, suggesting they had spent time together that month.
- Sept. 11: She posted a shot from Muse’s Aug. 31 concert at the Hollywood Bowl. The timing signals she attended the show.
These interactions added context after the Cloud Cookie slideshow made the relationship more visible.
Where this fits in Bellamy’s personal timeline
Bellamy filed for divorce in mid-August, citing irreconcilable differences. He is seeking sole custody of two of his children with Elle Evans: daughter Lovella and son George.
Evans married Bellamy in 2019. She told media outlets the marriage had become “unbearable,” and said she intends to contest custody arrangements.
The filing came on Aug. 12, and sources say the couple had actually separated months earlier. The timing of public appearances and posts has fueled discussion about when the split became final in private.
Family background and prior relationships
In addition to Lovella and George, Bellamy is father to son Bingham, now 15, from his previous relationship with actress Kate Hudson. That history has been mentioned in coverage of the current split.
- Lovella — age 6.
- George — age 2.
- Bingham — age 15, with Kate Hudson.
Those family details have been central to public interest, especially as custody is part of the divorce filing.
About AnneMarie Morin and Cloud Cookie
Morin founded Cloud Cookie in 2020. The bakery has gained local attention in Chicago for its creative offerings. Her role as a business owner became part of the story when Bellamy’s post showed him working behind the counter.
Her social presence and business profile helped the images spread quickly. The combination of a celebrity singer and a small-business founder made the post especially shareable.
How the story unfolded across outlets
After the slideshow went public, media outlets and fan accounts amplified the visuals. Photos and short clips circulated widely on Instagram and Twitter.
Several accounts reposted the kiss image, generating new waves of comments and debate about privacy, timing, and celebrity relationships.
What remains uncertain
Neither party has issued a detailed public statement confirming the status of their relationship. Social media posts and likes offer glimpses but not full context.
Legal processes around the divorce and custody remain active. Public reaction continues to evolve as more posts and reports surface from both sides.
