Aimee Lou Wood's Complete Dating History

Actress Aimee Lou Wood became known to fans through her role on Sex Education, as the sweet and naive student Aimee Gibbs. Wood has reached a new level of fame with her character on HBO’s The White Lotus, where she stars as one of the wealthy guests at an ominous luxury retreat in Thailand.

In the show, Wood’s character is dating an older gentleman played by Walter Goggins. In real life, Wood seems to be single based on comments she’s made in recent years—though she could just be keeping her private life private.

In 2021 she told Grazia, “I find it hard when I’m in relationships to maintain my sense of who I am. I’m very independent, but I’m also quite impressionable. I can be taken away from myself quite easily, I kind of start betraying myself and compromising my integrity, to keep someone else happy. That’s why it’s really important for me to have time alone.”

She also told Bustle that year what her red flags are when she is looking for a relationship.

“Rudeness, not saying thank you, and being impolite is such an ick for me,” said Wood. “Don’t look at how they’re treating you, look at how they’re treating the waiter.”

Here’s what is known about Aimee Lou Wood’s dating history so far.

From about 2018 to 2020, Wood was in a relationship with her Sex Education co-star Connor Swindells. In the show’s first season, the pair actually played a couple briefly, before their characters split up. They never said much about their relationship at the time, though there are a lot of cute photos of them together on the red carpet from that time. For example, this one of Wood trying to steal a kiss in January 2020 after the premiere of Uncle Vanya in London.

About their split, Wood told Grazia, “We’d had some time apart and then we realized that maybe the relationship wasn’t serving us both. We still really love each other and respect each other. It was an okay breakup, it wasn’t dramatic. I felt like a dam burst, then all of a sudden I was hurting, but I needed to be there, because I’d become a bit numb and it was nice to suddenly feel everything again.”

In July 2025, Wood made her relationship with actor Adam Long Instagram official when she shared a picture of him in her Stories from their recent trip to the Glastonbury musical festival. In the nighttime photo, Long is laying in Wood’s lap with his arms up and wrapped around her. The star is wearing sunglasses and a jean jacket with pink bottoms. She has her hair styled in two braids.

The couple was first seen sharing a kiss in June, per the Daily Mail, after working together on the upcoming BBC series Film Club, in which they play a couple. Long is best known for his role in Happy Valley as the convict Lewis Whippey.
