Call The Midwife star Olly Rix was seen reuniting with his ex Natasha Fagri at a Notting Hill café four months after it was revealed they had split.
The actor, 36, was pictured with his ex-girlfriend at the west London spot, days after his on-screen wife Helen George was spotted leaving his house.
The former couple, who split in July after seven years together, put on an amicable display as they greeted each other with a hug and chatted inside the café.
Olly could also be seen cuddling Natasha’s golden Cocker Spaniel, who she was later seen walking out of the eatery with.
Meanwhile, Olly left their meeting alone, holding a takeaway coffee in his hand and listening to his Apple AirPods.

Helen, 39, and Olly are said to be supporting each other as they navigate through their heartbreak.

She cut an effortlessly stylish figure in a bright red top teamed with a button-up navy blue midi skirt.
She wrapped up from the cold with a beige coat and wore a pair of comfy looking brown platform boots.
Helen carried a large bag out with her and was accompanied by her dog Charlie, as she made her way back to her own house – ten miles away in East London.
An onlooker told The Sun on Sunday how Olly ‘looked relaxed’ and when Helen left the premises, she looked a ‘little dishevelled’.
The sightings have fuelled speculation about a budding bond between the two co-stars who share a close connection, despite Olly’s character reportedly being written out of the show.
An insider said: ‘It’s been a tricky year for both Helen and Olly. They have been spending a lot of time together on set, walking their dogs together and chatting a lot.
‘They both have respect for each other as actors and they are supportive of each other and dedicated to their roles on the drama. The changes in their relationships have caused a lot of upheaval.’
A spokesperson for Helen said: ‘Yes, she went to visit a friend for a cup of tea – like all friends do – and as we have always said, there is nothing more to this.’
Mail Online contacted Olly’s representatives for further comment.

Olly recently split from his makeup artist girlfriend Natasha after seven years together in July after allegedly drifting apart due to work commitments.
A source said at the time to The Sun: ‘Olly and Natasha were very happy together for a long time, but eventually drifted apart due to work commitments.’
‘They have a lot of respect for each other and share custody of their pet dog. They are both busy with work and focusing on their future and different projects.’
Meanwhile, Helen split from her partner Jack Ashton the same month, after they first met on the set of Call The Midwife seven years prior.
She has played Trixie on the show since 2012, while Jack joined the series two years later as Tom Hereward.
The pair’s characters embarked on a romance on screen and Tom proposed to Trixie, before she ended their relationship.
In real life, the couple were said to have fallen for each other after travelling to South Africa to film the show’s 2016 Christmas Special.
A year later, they welcomed their first child Wren, before their second daughter Lark was born in November 2021.
In May 2021, Helen gave a rare insight into her relationship with Jack and told how both of them working in the same industry helped their romance.
The pair are now focusing on co-parenting their two children.
Call The Midwife is set in the 1950s and 1960s in London’s East End – and focuses on a group of midwives in a nursing convent.
