Aimee Lou Wood's past relationship and more about her new beau, Adam Long

Aimee Lou Wood became well-known after her role as Aimee Gibbs on Sex Education, and spoke about her dating experience in the past. She told Grazia in an interview back in 2021:

“I find it hard when I’m in relationships to maintain my sense of who I am. I’m very independent, but I’m also quite impressionable. I can be taken away from myself quite easily, I kind of start betraying myself and compromising my integrity, to keep someone else happy. That’s why it’s really important for me to have time alone.”

Aimee Lou Wood added about her breakup with co-star Connor Swindells from Sex Education, whom she dated for a few years, then they broke up, and that taught her a lot:

“We’d had some time apart and then we realized 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. I felt like a dam burst, then all of a sudden I was hurting, but I needed to be there, because I’d become a bit numb and it was nice to suddenly feel everything again.”

The British actor is widely recognized for his role as Lewis Whippey, a prisoner in Happy Valley. His filmography includes Dunkirk, Spike Island, Bancroft, The Thirteenth Tale, Vera, The Kill Team, Masters of the Air, and Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue.

Long can be found participating in some fitness competition when he is not acting. He has participated in Ironman competitions as well as long-distance running challenges. He usually keeps his life private and hardly uploads on social media.
