Jerome Flynn Used to Date Lena Headey
Now that we have covered all the Game of Thrones characters with their partners, let’s look at the ones who are yet to find love, or have had some hiccups on the way, starting with the infamous feud between these actors who used to date!
Unhappy Ending
The rumors are endless and go all the way back to 2002!! But both started working on the show in 2010, so signs point towards a co-worker situation which never ends well. Apparently, their relationship ended so badly that the production team made sure to keep them apart on set at all costs!
Natalie Dormer
Natalie Dormer plays queen Margaery Tyrell whose hunger to be queen is ultimately her downfall. When it comes to her love life, she has had quite the rough year offscreen too, splitting from her long-term fiancé director Anthony Byrne after 11 years.
’Massive Arguments’
It seems their downfall was attempting a project together. The split in late 2018 came shortly after co-writing their thriller In the Darkness which she claims caused ‘massive arguments’ at home.
Rory McCann
One of the deadliest fighters in Westeros, Rory McCann plays the loyal and fierce Sandor Clegane, nicknamed ‘The Hound’. In real life, Rory’s nature is similarly wild to that of his character!
Solitary Lifestyle
McCann’s lifestyle is definitely not one that is conducive to holding down a stable life partner. He is known for living a solitary and transient lifestyle and often resides on his boat or in places without modern conveniences. He is going to have to find one special lady who is down to put up with that interesting way of living!
Michelle Fairley
She plays the ultimate motherly figure in Game of Thrones in her role as Catelyn Stark, but her real-life personality could not be further from the one she portrays on Game of Thrones.
Never Wanted to be a Mum
Not only has Fairly never been married and is currently single, but she has never had nor wanted children of her own. In an interview she stated, I missed the gene. I was never born with that in my psyche, in my body. My sister Simone, from very young, you could tell instantly she did. I have many nieces and nephews and I am godmother to many children, but it’s never been in me. Sounds awful, doesn’t it?
She may not have the mum gene, but we do hope she funds true love in a partner soon!
