The message accompanying the shared image read, “These two British actors who star in this successful HBO show are officially dating. It used to be casual, but now they are presenting themselves as boyfriend/girlfriend to their closest circles“.

I don’t think they’ll make it public, considering they always bring along their other co-star as a third wheel to keep rumors at bay“, the anonymous source added. Many believe this third person might be Emma D’Arcy or Fabien.
