Matt Lucas has accepted undisclosed damages over articles published by the Daily Star after the death of his former civil partner, Kevin McGee.
The High Court heard the paper had "without foundation" published articles alleging the Little Britain star had been placed on suicide watch.
It also suggested they split up because of Mr McGee's cocaine use, it heard.
Express Newspapers apologised for invading Mr Lucas's privacy and for any distress caused by the articles.
The newspaper group's solicitor, Zoe Norden, said it had also agreed to pay the entertainer's legal costs.
