Celebrity hounds love a dating rumour: speculation abounded about Twisters’ Edgar-Jones and Glen Powell, Anyone But You’s Powell and Sydney Sweeney – and Seed and Anya Taylor-Joy, who he shot for Dior

Seed might be low-key, but he’s worked with high-profile names such as Priyanka Chopra and Ian McKellen, and brands including Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty

There’s nothing new about celebrities being rumoured to be romantically involved with their most recent co-stars, and actress Daisy Edgar-Jones is no exception.

Edgar-Jones was previously rumoured to be dating Paul Mescal, her co-star in the Normal People TV miniseries, though she’s steadfastly maintained that Mescal is just one of her “lifetime best friends”, as she told Elle.

More recently, the internet questioned the actress’ relationship with her Twisters co-star Glen Powell after the pair displayed “electric chemistry” on-screen, as People described it, and a close relationship off-screen. Powell was the subject of similar “are they or aren’t they” dating rumours last year as his “effortless chemistry” with Anyone But You co-star Sydney Sweeney, per Teen Vogue, caught everyone’s attention during the film’s promotional tour.

Edgar-Jones recently responded to the rumours with a seemingly unbothered cheeriness, telling The Sunday Times, “You watch with bemusement really, because it’s interesting to see what narratives people write in.”

The probable source of her calm? Her relationship with photographer Ben Seed. Not many people seem to be aware of Seed – or his connection to Edgar-Jones. The photographer, who’s been linked to Edgar-Jones since September last year, according to Elle, rarely posts about his personal life and was, at some point, rumoured to be dating Anya Taylor-Joy.
