Find out the details about the relationship between Claire Foy and Matt Smith!

Claire Foy and Matt Smith charmed millions with their on-screen romance as Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip. But did you know that, even off-screen, the pair sometimes seemed closer than just co-stars?

So are Claire and Matt romantically involved? Read on to find out.

Is Claire Foy dating Matt Smith?

No, Claire Foy is not in a relationship with Matt Smith. According to Distractify, “Claire Foy appears single and ready to mingle with some more challenging parts.”

But then again, the actress is known to fiercely guard her personal life, keeping her social media profile private. Her last public relationship was with her ex-husband Stephen Campbell Moore.

So even if she is in a relationship, we won’t know about it until Claire herself decides to go public.

Are Claire Foy and Matt Smith dating?

As mentioned before, Claire Foy doesn’t date and tell stories. So there’s no way to confirm whether The Crown co-stars are dating. However, there are moments when the pair seem comfortable and more than co-stars when they’re not working.

To get a sense of their relationship, let’s go back to 2017 when Claire greeted Matt with a hug at LA airport. Later that year, the pair were spotted holding hands as they crossed the street after enjoying a casual lunch on London’s South Bank. And the following year, the co-stars made headlines again when they dined in Soho, with Claire trying on sunglasses for him. Their dinner included a few glasses of wine, and they looked genuinely friendly.

Currently, the two are longtime co-stars of The Crown. Plus, they even starred together as another married couple in the play Lungs.

In case you missed it, Lungs is a play about whether it’s appropriate to bring children into this increasingly uncertain world. Claire and Matt performed the play at the Old Vic in London in June 2020—which was adapted well with “socially distanced performances” amid the coronavirus pandemic to allow children to stay six feet apart.

Recalling the “socially distanced play,” Claire spoke of the strange experience of rehearsing a play while the stage manager held a two-metre-long stick between them. Their characters have fought, made up and slept together on stage, now not even within holding distance of each other.

But in her stage manager, defending Maria Gibbons, Claire explained that the stick was there to ensure that physical distancing was maintained at all times in line with lockdown regulations. While Matt reminds her that the distance guidance “has just been reduced to one meter, so break her stick in half!”

Now, back to when Claire and Matt first met. It was 2014 on the set of Netflix’s The Crown. Claire — who won the role of young Elizabeth II — was in the room when Matt arrived to audition. “She was very generous and something worked,” Matt recalls.

They have remained friends since then. And the remarkable chemistry they have on screen is now equally explosive off camera.

Fun Fact: In 2017, Claire Foy and Matt were giggling so much while filming The Crown that neither one could stay on script.

Claire Foy’s husband

Claire Foy first met her husband Stephen Campbell Morre on the set of the fantasy film Season of the Witch in 2011. Dating for more than 3 years, the two then got married in 2014.

The two then went on to live in North London, where they experienced the worst time of their lives when Stephen was diagnosed with a benign pituitary tumor at the base of his brain. But that’s not all, things got worse when Stephen had to have further surgery in 2017, “There are some things that you must make sure you do before surgery.”You write a letter . But it’s all very likely to go wrong because every part of you is saying nothing will happen,” he explains.

Sadly, in 2018, Claire and Stephen filed for divorce.

Does Claire Foy have children?

That’s right, Claire Foy has a child named Ivy Rose whom she welcomed with her ex-husband in February 2015.

Speaking about her pregnancy, she revealed that she was “devastated” and couldn’t sleep or eat for a month. But when Ivy entered the world, she knew all that had to stop. “Having her made me think, ‘You need to get your life together.’ I just didn’t have to live like that. It was unbearable. I was sick of myself,” she explained.

Now, to help her daughter, Claire even helps her ex-husband, who lives nearby.

Do you know: Claire was five months pregnant when she auditioned for The Crown.
