As Sex Education‘s third season quickly approaches, questions that you may have always had about this cast and crew may be starting to come back to mind.
Don’t worry, you’re certainly not the only one wanting to know more about this amazing group of talented individuals. After all, they all have such great relationships both on-screen and off-screen, and some have even gone on to date one another in real life.
Though their respective characters barely interact on the Netflix original series as of late, Sex Education stars Aimee Lou Wood (Aimee Gibbs) and Connor Swindells (Adam Groff) fell in love with one another after meeting on set, having started their romantic relationship back in 2018.
However, there has been a substantial amount of time has passed since their relationship began, and you’re probably wondering if these two lovebirds brought together by a special series are still dating or if they decided to call it quits. We tell you everything to know, below.
Are Aimee Lou Wood and Connor Swindells still dating?
According to Hello Magazine, the two have unfortunately decided to go their separate ways, breaking up in 2020 after about two years of dating. Although the breakup was more or less under the radar, the media outlet reported that the separation was amicable as the two decided it was best to spend some time apart.
In addition to coming to this realization, Wood came to the conclusion that she tends to lose a sense of herself when she gets into relationships and would prefer to spend this time apart from Swindells learning more about who she is and what she wants. Wood stated:
"I find it hard when I’m in relationships to maintain my sense of who I am. I’m very independent, but I’m also quite impressionable. I can be taken away from myself quite easily, 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."
In regards to how Connor Swindells felt about the breakup, it seems that the English actor hasn’t really said much about his recent split, but has deleted pictures of his now ex-girlfriend from his Instagram page, even though Wood has not done the same.
The two do not seem to be dating anyone else at the moment, but we will be sure to let you know when or if they do, and if they ever decide to rekindle their relationship.
