According to The Tab, an anonymous post on the Fauxmoi subreddit emerged shortly after, further fuelling the rumours. It read:

These two British actors starring in a successful NBO show are officially dating.

I do not think they will publicly confirm their relationship as their other co-star always accompanies them as a third wheel to keep the rumours at bay.

Even though fans quickly assumed the post referred to Olivia Cooke and Matt Smith, neither party has ever commented on the nature of their relationship.
