Whether you’re chronically online or just a casual cinema fan, you’ve *definitely* heard about Daisy Edgar-Jones and Paul Mescal’s next-level chemistry in Normal People.
Sure, Connell and Marianne may still live in our heads rent-free, but outside the Sally Rooney cinematic universe, fans have also been keeping a close eye on who may be starring in Daisy’s real-life love story.
Who is Daisy Edgar-Jones dating?
Daisy has been in a relationship with photographer Ben Seed since 2023.
While the exact timeline of their romance is unknown, it is believed that the pair likely crossed paths when Ben began photographing Daisy professionally around June 2023, later sharing black-and-white portraits of her on social media.
Although many fans didn’t read too much into the pics at first, given they were still *obsessed* with her and Normal People co-star Paul Mescal’s chemistry, by September of that year, romance rumours were in full swing after Daisy and Ben were snapped by the Daily Mail on a PDA-packed stroll in London.
Despite not explicitly confirming their relationship, Daisy and Ben made their red carpet debut together at the GQ Men of the Year Awards in November 2023, and just over six months later, the couple became Instagram official after Daisy shared a photo of the pair at Glastonbury Festival.
While they haven’t commented on their romance as of yet, Ben did share a sweet tribute to the actress ahead of the release of Twisters, writing to Instagram, “Couldn’t be more proud of this one and everything she’s achieved. The cast & crew of @twistersmovie have put on a wild show, so do yourself a favour and go and see it on the biggest screen you can.”
Prior to his relationship with Daisy, Ben was also reportedly in a relationship with Anya Taylor-Joy, however, the pair have never addressed the speculation surrounding their romance.

Tom Varey
2018-2020
Before her rise to fame with Normal People, Daisy was in a relationship with actor Tom Varey.
While little is known about their relationship, it is believed that they met while filming the limited series Pond Life in 2018, and after living together during the 2020 lockdown, Tom and Daisy reportedly split due to their busy acting schedules in late 2020/early 2021/
Making a rare comment on her relationship. Daisy shared how Tom had supported her during the production of the intimate scenes in Normal People.
“My boyfriend, actually, he was amazing, because what a tricky thing to watch,” she told the How to Fail podcast, adding, “He loves the series, thank goodness, that’s something I’m very relieved about.”
“There was a moment in episode six where he was like, ‘This is a bit weird! Oh, this is weird’ and we had to acknowledge that it was a bit weird, and then it was fine.”
