Welcome to a very special romance-themed post of Winter is Coming. Today’s topic: dating. Who’s doing it? Where? Why? What is romance anyway, and is it creepy to be talking about this?
The answer to the first questions is Dean-Charles Chapman and Nell Tiger Free, the actors who portray Tommen Baratheon and Myrcella Baratheon respectively. (The answers to the other questions are pass, pass, I dunno, and probably.) Chapman and Free were recently seen canoodling, a word used exclusively to describe celebrity romances, on Instagram and Twitter, the high school cafeteria of the modern age.
Here they are in a room.
Here they are discussing their misgivings about being apart from each other.

And here Free compares Chapman to the likes of Jeffrey Dahmer and Ted Bundy, but in an affectionate way.
But wait! There is also romance elsewhere. Rosie Mac and Ignacio Blanco, the actors who serve as body doubles for Emilia Clarke and Michiel Huisman, who play Daenerys Targaryen and Daario Naharis, who are on a show called Game of Thrones, which was once criticized by Kevin Bacon for not having enough male nudity (only four degrees away!) have also been seen together. “Rosie and I met on set,” Blanco said. “Me doing my part as Daario’s double and Rosie doing her part as Daenerys. Since then, we’ve become very close.” Here they are mid-canoodle.
It is kind of interesting that only actors whose characters have something to do with each other seem to be cropping up in these kinds of stories. Chapman and Free weren’t part of the same plotline and presumably didn’t film at the same time or in the same area, but it would appear that the incestuous relationship between their onscreen parents drew them inexorably together. Either that or they’re just two young people involved with the show. I don’t know them.
