Cheers to young Hollywood! Over the past few years, Hollywood A-listers in the 20–30 age range have been dominating entertainment and film — from Marsai Martin to Zendaya. Now, Normal People's Daisy Edgar-Jones has joined the ranks, thanks to her phenomenal skills and portrayal of various roles. And since Daisy starred in Where the Crawdads Sing as Kya Clark, her celebrity has skyrocketed.
As a celebrity's popularity grows, fans are determined to learn the ins and outs of their life — in particular, their love life. And Daisy is no exception to the rule. While some fans are aware that she once dated Tom Varey, many are wondering if she has a new main squeeze. So, who is Daisy Edgar-Jones dating? Here’s everything that we know.
Who is Daisy Edgar-Jones dating?
Daisy is currently dating a photographer named Ben Seed, who prefers to go by his artist name, Pip. They reportedly began dating sometime in 2023, according to the Daily Mail, and have continued to date since. A source revealed to The Sun in 2023, "There’s a real spark there and they are excited about finding each other. They’ve already met one another’s friends and she is on cloud nine.”
Daisy further confirmed their romance is going strong by posting a photo of the two together during her July 2024 trip to Glastonbury. Ben was previously romantically linked to The Queen's Gambit star Anya Taylor-Joy.
Despite being spotted out and about on occasion, it's becoming standard practice for many A-listers, including Daisy, to keep the details of their romantic lives out of the public eye. Call it fear of blogs and news outlets from spinning different narratives to simply wanting private business to remain private — many celebrities prefer to keep their dating lives on the hush.
Daisy Edgar-Jones and Tom Varey dated for two years.
Love comes and goes. In case you’ve been MIA, Daisy and British actor Tom Varey were a thing. According to PopSugar, the actors dated from 2018 to 2020.
The pair reportedly met when filming 2018’s Pond Life and it was seemingly on since then. Daisy took to Instagram on October 16, 2019, to share a photo of Tom, which was a bit out of the norm for the star. No other photos of Tom or the pair are featured on her grid.
The Sun reported that both Daisy and Tom’s careers become more of a priority than their romance, leading to their breakup.
“They got on really well during lockdown last year, but they’re both young and passionate about following their careers," a source told the outlet.
They added, “Daisy has been inundated with opportunities and feels she has to put them first, Tom’s also really dedicated to his acting and wants the best for both of them.”
Thankfully, it appears that the actors split amicably and reportedly have “no hard feelings” against each other "and are still close," per The Sun.
