Michelle de Swarte admits that her character “Natasha” in HBO Max’s The Baby is a lot like herself — childless and in her 40s. So naturally, this brings up a lot of questions about her love life and who her partner is.
Scroll down to learn all about her partner, height, and family.
Who is Michelle de Swarte’s partner?
Before we discuss Michelle de Swarte’s partner, let’s know that she is bisexual. That means she is interested in both women and men.
As for the “men” in her life, Michelle seems to be close to filmmaker Daryl Dyer and a guy who goes by the handle “@bunlessbread” on IG. However, while both have been spotted kissing the actress, neither of them appear to be Swarte’s romantic partners.
For those who don’t know, Daryl Dyer is the Cinematographer/Director of “ILUVLIVE”. He is from London, UK and studied theatre at the BRIT School of Performing Arts and Technology.
As for “@bunlessbread,” all we know about him is from Michelle’s IG caption dedicated to him — “@bunlessbread the moment you realize your gay partner will never sleep with you no matter how much alcohol you give him!”
Now, when it comes to the women in her life, Michelle has chosen to keep her female partners a secret.
Also, as of 2022, she appears to be single.
Interesting Facts: Michelle talked about dysfunctional relationships on an Apple podcast with Sofie called “Who Hurts You.” The show is an hour long, but give it a listen if you want the details.
Michelle de Swarte on HBO Max’s The Baby
Michelle de Swarte stars as “Natasha” in HBO Max’s The Baby.
In the first season, Natasha is unable to conceive and, frustrated by her friends becoming mothers, she takes a solo vacation to a remote cabin to clear her head.
However, during her sea voyage, a mysterious baby falls off a cliff and into her arms, and she witnesses four accidental deaths. So, ironically, when the very thing she wants most falls into her arms, she lacks even the most basic maternal instinct.
Now, here’s the shocking truth! No matter how many times Natasha tried to get away from the baby (knowing it was evil), the newborn always seemed to find its way back to her.
Speaking about the film, Michelle shared that it was “quite easy for her to capture Natasha’s emotions,” as she doesn’t have children herself. She also shed light on the fact that working with newborns can be quite cumbersome. “Babies don’t respect being on set at all. So there’s a lot of tears because they’re babies and there’s a lot of stimulation and lights and sounds,” she explained.
So when the baby finally got her part, she worked around them and made sure not to get her lines wrong. Because another take might not be the same.
Joining Michelle this season are her co-stars Amira Ghazalla, Amber Grappy, Shvorne Marks and Isy Suttie.
Excited for the show’s premiere, Michelle shared on her IG: “To the moms and babies who make #TheBabyHBO happen, debuting April 24th on @hbo.”
