Zain Iqbal and Emma Myers: Are thay dating?

However, there has been no evidence of them dating. Their dedicated fanbases likely would have spotted them together if they were romantically involved, which hasn’t been the case. It seems they are simply very good friends. In a recent interview with Press Party, when asked about her, Zain only praised Emma’s work as an actress and how much it has helped him.
“It was amazing (to work with her). I think I’m going to find it weird to go and act with someone else now, because I was acting with Emma only. But yes, it was amazing. Ever since we did the first chemistry read in person, we just clicked. And I just remember her pulling me round, running round this massive studio that we were doing the audition in. And ever since then we’ve just worked well together.”
