Asa Butterfield
Butterfield, who plays Otis Milburn, is believed to be currently single. The 22-year old child star previously dated his former co-star, Ella Purnell, in the movie Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. However, he last posted with her on April 5, 2016.
There were also rumours that he was dating Nina Dobrev back in 2017. However, nothing ever came of this and it's unlikely to be true considering Nina is 9 years older.
Connor Swindells and Aimee Lou Wood
If you're new to the Sex Education circle, you'll be heartwarmed, then quickly heartbroken to learn that Swindells (who plays the school bully Adam Groff) was actually dating fellow co-star Aimee Lou Wood, who plays Aimee Gibbs, for a while.
They were super cute together, often posting loved-up pictures. But sadly they've since split, with Aimee telling Grazia in September 2021: "We'd had some time apart and then we realised that maybe the relationship wasn't serving us both. We still really love each other and respect each other. It was an okay breakup, it wasn't dramatic."
Gillian Anderson
Anderson, who plays Otis' mother and well known sex therapist, was in a relationship with screenwriter Peter Morgan, the creator of Netflix's The Crown, from 2016.
While Anderson was very private on her Instagram, she was pictured here with The Crown's Olivia Colman at the 2020 Golden Globes. In May 2021, Anderson appeared to confirm that she and Peter had sadly split, per The Daily Mail.
The talented actor has three children from previous relationships.
Ncuti Gatwa
Gatwa, AKA Eric Effiong, has kept his romantic life private on his Instagram, but it appears as though he used to date Jessica Hardwick (pictured). But besides this post from 2018, Gatwa has remained radio silent on his relationship status.
