1. Who Is Emilia Clarke's Boyfriend?

Answer: No one. Last year, rumors started circulating about a potential romance between Clarke and Charlie McDowell. However, many believe the pair quietly ended their relationship, since the film director is no longer following the actress on Instagram.

To top it off, McDowell is reportedly dating actress Lily Collins.

2. What Is Her Dating History?

Clarke previously dated Seth MacFarlane, who currently plays Captain Ed Mercer on The Orville. The pair started dating in 2012 and broke off their relationship one year later, claiming long distance was too much to handle.

Prior to MacFarlane, the actress was briefly linked to Cory Michael Smith (Gotham) and James Franco (The Deuce).

5. Is Emilia Clarke Single?

Although we don’t know for sure, all signs point to yes. First, she doesn’t seem to be involved with McDowell anymore. And second, she’s giving off major single lady vibes. Not only did she go on a girls’ trip with Leslie to India, but she’s also living it up on Instagram.
