Sex Education star Aimee Lou Wood is “wanting time alone” following her split from co-star Connor Swindells.
The couple first met on the set of the raunchy Netflix series back in 2018, playing complicated couple Aimee and Adam.
However, after filming wrapped, the pair became an official couple, surprising fans with their romance by going public online.

Speaking about the break-up, Aimee said to Grazia: “We’d had some time apart and then we realised 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.”
