English actress Aimee Lou Wood got a career breakthrough & found her first-ever publicly disclosed boyfriend from the Netflix series “Sex Education”.
She was in a relationship with her co-star & then-partner, Connor Swindells, who played her on-screen boyfriend. However, her dating story didn’t stay put long as they broke up amicably only a year after their relationship.
So, fans wonder if the RADA graduate actress has a new boyfriend. Who is she dating now?
Who Is ‘Daddy Issues’ Actress Aimee Lou Wood’s New Boyfriend In 2024?
After her split from Swindells, Wood’s been relatively low-key about her relationship status and is allegedly single. So far, there are no reports of her boyfriend.
During her transition from her break-up and her worldwide fandom with her work in the streaming series, Aimee seemingly has learned about challenges & importance of privacy in her personal life.
Perhaps, it may be the reason, she kept tight lips on her dating story for more than three years since 2020.
Some allege that this 5 feet 7 inches (1.70 m) actress is switching her focus to propagate her acting career & has been away from relationships.
Aimee’s Perspective On Dating And Relationship
It’s been a while since the Sex Education actress talked about her relationship with the media.
In 2021, during an interview with GraziaDaily, Aimee Lou Wood stated that she enjoys being single, and expressed her views on dating,
“I find it hard when I’m in relationships to maintain my sense of who I am. I kind of start betraying myself and compromising my integrity, to keep someone else happy. That’s why it’s really important for me to have time alone.”
Aside from her concern about self-improvement and self-peace, she uses her fandom to voice for world peace.
In the light of the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, she was among over two thousand to sign an Artists for Palestine open letter to the US President Joe Biden, calling for a ‘cease fire.’
Relationship Of Aimee Lou Wood & Ex-Boyfriend, Connor Swindells
Wood and Swindells were sweethearts of fans, who even tagged them as a young power couple. However, they were not meant for each other.
Unwilling to acknowledge if the co-actors-turned-couple have parted ways, hopeful fans query “Are Aimee Lou Wood and Connor Swindells together?”, but the sad reality is that they have broken up.
As reported, the duo met in 2018 while filming the hit Netflix series Sex Education (2019-23) co-starring Asa Butterfield, Gillian Anderson, Ncuti Gatwa, Emma Mackey, and Mimi Kenee.
The two kept their relationship under wraps until January 2019, when the teen sex comedy-drama aired on Netflix.
In the series, Aimee portrayed Aimee Gibbs, while Swindells played the role of Adam Groff. They were an on-screen couple in Season 1 but broke in the first episode of the series.
It seemed as if their split in the series had a reality effect as the two parted ways somewhere ahead of March 2020.
Why Did Aimee And Connor Break Up?
After remaining silent for a year regarding their split, the England-born actress spoke about the cause of their break up in 2021 during an interview with GraziaDaily.
They broke up amicably stating it was not working well for them due to their hectic schedules.
“We’d had some time apart because of work, and then we realized that maybe the relationship wasn’t serving us both.”
Even so, Wood is on good terms with her ex-boyfriend, Connor Swindells, and stated that their separation was not ‘dramatic’, and they “still really love each other and respect each other”.
Is Connor Swindells Dating Anyone?
Yes, after his parting ways with Aimee, Swindells is in a relationship with actress Amber Anderson. She is famous for portraying Lady Diana Mitford in Peaky Blinders.
As reported, the SAS: Rogue Heroes star met Anderson after they met on the set of the film Emma (2020). But their dating story came to light only in 2022.
In August 2022, the duo made her red carpet debut at the afterparty of Netflix’s The Sandman, starring Tom Sturridge, Vivienne Acheampong, and Vanesu Samunyai, among others.
Rumors Of Dating With Co-Stars
Wood was rumored to be in a relationship with her other Sex Education co-stars who played her on-screen love interest, given the history that she dated Connor, who was her reel-turned-real boyfriend.
She and her co-star Jojo Macari, who played Kyle, in the series were on-screen love interests briefly.
Aimee and her fellow castmate, Chris Jenks, were alleged to be dating; he played her on-screen ex-boyfriend, Steve Morley. Their characters’ romance began in Season 1 (between episodes 1 & 3) and lasted through Season 3 (episode 8) before they broke up.
During Season 4 of Sex Education, her character, Aimee Gibbs, began to develop chemistry with Issac (played by actor George Robinson). So, fans began to ship the possible off-screen relationship between Wood and Robinson.
Even after all these claims, none of them ever became official.
