As the HBO fantasy drama continues to dominate conversations, interest in the personal lives of its cast members has also grown. Among the stars drawing curiosity are Olivia Cooke and Ralph Davis. 

While both actors have largely kept their private lives away from the spotlight, recent public appearances have fueled speculation about a romance that appears to have blossomed beyond the walls of the Seven Kingdoms.

Olivia Cooke and Ralph Davis are believed to have first crossed paths while working on the second season of House of the Dragon. Davis joined the cast as Ser Leon Estermont, one of King Aegon II Targaryen’s Kingsguard, with filming beginning in 2023. Although neither actor has publicly discussed how they met, fans suspect their connection developed during production.

The Daily Mail published that the pair grew steadily over the following months. In April 2024, they were photographed together in London's Soho, though reports at the time described them as friends and co-stars. Later that year, Cooke shared behind-the-scenes images from the series that included Davis, and she also tagged him in photos from a holiday trip. By 2025, frequent sightings and social media clues had convinced many fans that there was more than friendship between the two actors.

Their growing public presence together eventually led to a moment that drew widespread attention.
