"I'm with someone right now," she confirmed via Metro. "He's an actor and writer based in London. It's fairly new, we've been together since last year and he's a very wonderful guy, but I've kept it quiet. I just wanted time to get to know him - he's very special." The actress then went on to explain how she would love to start a family in the future. "I would definitely like a family of my own one day," she added. "I like children and I've got lots of nieces and nephews who are gorgeous. It's something I haven't thought about massively - I've been very career-orientated so far - but maybe I should!"
