Maisie Williams has offered a rare glimpse into her personal life, revealing that she is in a happy new relationship. The actress also suggested that romance feels different this time as she embraces a lighter chapter in her life.

Her romantic history has included long-term relationships with Reuben Selby and Ollie Jackson, as well as a rumored earlier connection with YouTuber Caspar Lee.

Maisie Williams Says There’s ‘Lots Of Laughter’ In Her New Relationship

Maisie Williams is happily in love, although she isn’t ready to reveal exactly who has captured her heart. The “Game of Thrones” alum opened up about her dating life during a new interview with The Guardian, confirming that she is currently seeing someone and is “so happy.”

When asked whether she had been playing the field, Williams quickly shut down the idea. “No! I’m in love,” the 29-year-old actress declared, before making it clear that she wouldn’t be sharing much more about her mystery partner.

Williams did, however, reveal that the relationship feels different from previous times she has been in love. “There’s lots of laughter,” she said.

Williams Previously Dated Fashion Creative Reuben Selby

Williams’ last publicly known relationship was with fashion creative Reuben Selby, whom she dated for several years before they split in 2023.

The former couple were linked as early as 2019 and became fixtures on the fashion circuit, regularly stepping out together at events including Paris Fashion Week. Their relationship also overlapped with their creative careers, with Selby contributing to Williams’ fashion projects and previously working as communications director for her Daisie app.

The pair even collaborated beyond fashion, including a 2022 climate initiative.

As PEOPLE reported at the time, Williams announced their breakup in February 2023, describing it as the “end of an era.” Selby also addressed the breakup publicly, asking fans not to be sad and joking that they should instead “appreciate the fits,” a nod to the matching looks that had become one of the couple’s signatures.

• Maisie Williams was labeled “a child” after stepping outdoors in a skimpy bikini.
• The actress spoke about “being in control” of her career after “GoT.”
• She added that she doesn’t miss her time on the HBO classic.
• Williams also confirmed she “resented” her character, Arya Stark.
• Sophie Turner “gagged” on set “kissing” Kit Harington.
• One of Turner’s exes moved on quite fast after their breakup.

Maisie Williams’ Dating History Includes A Former Classmate

Before Selby, Williams dated Ollie Jackson, a former classmate she reportedly began seeing in 2015. The pair largely kept their romance away from the spotlight at first. They eventually made public appearances together, including attending the “Game of Thrones” Season 7 premiere in 2017.

Williams offered a rare insight into their relationship during a 2018 interview with ELLE UK. At the time, she praised Jackson for giving her the combination of friendship and romance she wanted in a partner. “Everyone just wants to have someone they can hang out with who is a friend and a boyfriend, and Ollie is that,” she said.

Williams was also previously linked to YouTuber Caspar Lee after appearing in several of his videos. However, despite years of fan speculation, neither Williams nor Lee ever confirmed they were romantically involved.

The Actress Says Her Early 20s Were ‘Just Hell’

Williams’ current happier outlook stems from a reportedly difficult stretch that coincided with the end of “Game of Thrones.”

“The first half of my 20s was just hell,” the actress told The Guardian, although she acknowledged that the experience might not be unusual for people that age.

Williams partly attributed that period to the HBO hit wrapping in 2019. After spending much of her childhood and teenage years playing Arya Stark, she suddenly found herself unsure about what should come next. “I didn’t know what I was going to do next, and I just needed a break,” she explained.

Maisie Williams Has Long-Valued Friendship In Romance

Williams’ relationships may have changed over the years, but her comments suggest companionship has remained important to what she wants from a partner.

While dating Jackson in 2016, the actress admitted she believed she was in love but was careful not to treat that feeling as something she completely understood. “I feel like I’m in love right now,” Williams said at the time, according to E! News. “But I don’t know what I’m going to feel like down the line.”

She also said she’s attracted to people outside the entertainment bubble, telling Nylon that she liked “normal people.”
