Tanya Reynolds, the star of Sex Education, has never been one to mince words. That is clear from her social media, particularly Instagram, where she allows her photos to do the majority of the talking. Her refusal to talk or write much may have allowed her to keep her dating life hidden for a long time. After all, her dating rumors with lover Freddie Fox initially arose in mid-2020. Her social media, though, reveals they were a thing long before any outlet caught up on their affair.
Did Tanya Reynolds start dating Freddie Fox in 2020?
On June 9, 2020, the British newspaper The Sun published an article claiming Reynolds was dating Fox. This study comes after they collaborated on Fanny Lye Delivered in 2019. The Sun allegedly obtained material and quotations from insider sources and others close to the pair, all of whom verified their relationship. When the article came out, they seemed to be isolating themselves in his London house.
According to an Insider source, Fox prefers to keep his personal life secret. According to the source, the pair was “infatuated with each other” in their “early days.” “Their friends think they’re such a nice pair,” the person said. However, a look at Reynolds’ Instagram shows Fox had been highlighting (and maybe dating?) her well before June 2020.
Fox was initially featured on her Instagram on December 3, 2018. He was seated on a sofa, clutching a fish-shaped plush toy, with a framed t-shirt over his head. “Love me,” one of the numerous comments on the t-shirt said. Perhaps a hint? Maybe, but the photo didn’t prove anything, and she didn’t write a caption to provide information. Reynolds then shared a photo of Fox on April 6, 2019, and again on May 2, 2019. In the description, she just used photography-related hashtags.
Her now-boyfriend then resurfaced on her Instagram on November 23, 2021. Again, she merely used hashtags as a description, but the image was far more personal – she caught him staring in the mirror at himself. The actor’s most recent photos were taken on April 1 and April 20, 2022. But, once again, there is no context in the caption. However, there is a repeating pattern in all of these images. While she puts at least a few lines on the majority of her other postings, she remains silent on his images.

Freddie Fox’s Personal Life
Reynolds was in a relationship with actress Tamzin Merchant before they began dating, whenever that was. Fox met Merchant on the set of The Mystery of Edwin Drood in 2011. They split up in September 2013, two years later. Following this, he was connected to Prince Harry’s ex-girlfriend, Cressida Bonas. During an interview with The Telegraph in January 2015, he also hinted that he could be bisexual.
Fox was connected to Lily James in January 2020, two months before The Sun reported their affair. They were seen kissing at a London event. He then emphasized that it was simply two acting schoolmates hanging around and nothing more.
