We may be rooting for Otis Milburn and Maeve Wiley, played by Asa Butterfield and Emma Mackey, to end up together on “Sex Education” but sadly, these two are nothing more than friends in real life.
While Butterfield seems to be single at the moment, per Elle, the star has had a glittering dating history with past celebrities including a former co-star of his, Ella Purnell. Butterfield and Purnell met on the set of the movie “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children,” where they both starred as main characters. But don’t get ahead of yourself with the fact Butterfield has dated his co-stars, thinking this means he and Mackey are dating, because Butterfield’s relationships with former co-stars stop there.
Instead, it seems Emma Mackey is still taken by her long-term boyfriend, and fellow actor, Dan Whitlam. Mackey and Whitlam seem to have been dating since 2018, when Mackey made their relationship Instagram official, though that post is now-deleted as Mackey pulled the plug on her social media. Yet, even before Mackey deleted social media, these two have kept their relationship so private that it has even caused speculation that the two have called it quits and chosen to not announce the separation. Since neither Mackey nor Whitlam have yet to confirm or deny the speculation, who really is Mackey’s off-screen boyfriend, Dan Whitlam?
