I was so thrilled to see Russell T Davies and Oliver Cole taking their relationship to New York City! It’s wonderful to see them enjoying a romantic getaway together – they really seem happy, and it’s lovely they’re sharing this next step in their relationship.

The showrunner of Doctor Who, 62, and his new girlfriend, a 27-year-old model, appeared very happy together. They recently confirmed their relationship on Instagram during the holidays.

While in New York City, Russell made sure Oliver met some of his well-known friends, such as actor Alan Cumming and Cumming’s colleague, producer Julie Gardner.

The couple enjoyed a classic New York experience, including a visit to Times Square, a Broadway show – Death Becomes Her The Musical – dinner at the popular Balthazar restaurant, and drinks at the intimate cabaret bar, Club Cumming.

Oliver posted several selfies on his Instagram Stories, including a photo of himself shirtless, showing off his fit body.

Russell shared a post titled ‘Time Square,’ and Oliver responded with a red heart emoji. Stephen Moffat, another writer for Doctor Who, playfully commented, ‘Ah you found it then!’

Russell shared a Christmas selfie with his dog, Oliver, on Instagram, wishing his followers a ‘Merry Christmas!’ from both of them.

Looking back, it’s so clear now! The producer actually gave us a little peek at his relationship with the Australian waiter over a month ago. It was a sweet moment – he let Oliver check out the TARDIS, and honestly, it was a total signal of their growing connection. It seemed like a fun, playful way to show affection!

In November, Oliver was spotted having fun on the show’s famous set, leading many dedicated fans to wonder if he might be the next Doctor.

Oliver captioned the video: ’27- Another Year Passes. But it’s alright I have a TARDIS x’.

He quickly reassured fans that Oliver was not the next Doctor. Russell T Davies also took a moment to wish Oliver a happy birthday in the comments section.

According to a friend of the couple, Oliver has made Russell very happy, and they clearly enjoy being together.

You know, I’ve been observing this couple, and despite their age difference, they just get each other. There’s a real connection there, a shared understanding, and honestly, I think this is a relationship that’s built to last. It feels solid and genuine – a true partnership.

This is Russell’s first significant relationship since his husband, Andrew Smith, passed away from a brain tumor in 2018.

After being together for over 20 years, Russell dedicated two and a half years to caring for his husband, Andrew, a customs officer, who was bravely fighting a terminal illness.

‘I was surprised by how many people were surprised that I did that,’ he later reflected.

Russell has frequently mentioned that if he could travel back in time, he’d go back to the night he first met his husband, who has since passed away.

He said if he could travel in time, he’d go back to Canal Street in Manchester on April 12, 1998. He wanted to witness the moment he first made eye contact with Andrew, who was standing by a railing with a friend while he was near another railing.

Andrew was diagnosed with a brain tumour back in 2011 when the couple were living in LA. 

With doctors giving him only a three percent chance of getting better, the couple returned to Manchester and Russell took two years off work to focus on his health.

In a 2019 interview with Radio Times, six months after Andrew’s death, Russell said that caring for him was ‘the most important thing I’ll ever do.’

He shared that others who had lost their husbands told him the six-month mark would be particularly difficult, and he’s finding that to be true. While he knew his husband’s death was inevitable, and they had enjoyed 13 good years together, it’s hard to focus on those memories right now. He feels overwhelmed by the pain of the final weeks of his husband’s illness.

It’s getting easier, slowly but surely. I expected to grieve losing him as a partner, but I didn’t realize how much I’d miss being loved – that’s the hardest part. It’s awful, and no one ever tells you that’s what it feels like. I didn’t think that feeling would just disappear, but it has.
