Who has Josh O'Connor been linked to in the past?
FKA Twigs, in the 2000s
In an August 2023 interview with GQ, Josh revealed he went to school with singer FKA Twigs - real name Tahliah Debrett Barnett - at St Edward's in Cheltenham, and had a crush on her at the time.
"I really shouldn’t be saying this, but it’s hilarious. I was in a band called Orange Output basically to try and get Twigs to go out with me," he shared. "I was the lead singer, and one of the lyrics I wrote was ‘I’m addicted to crack, motherf---er.’ The closest thing I’d had to crack was Coco Pops."
When asked if FKA Twins had ever responded, Josh said, "No. I don't think she knows who I am." FKA Twigs told the mag, "I’m very flattered that he tried to do that because I was definitely not cool and not particularly popular."
Margot Hauer-King, 2019 - present day?
Back in 2019, The Crown actor was linked to Jonah Hauer-King's sister Margot, who works in advertising/marketing. Their dad, Jeremy King, is apparently a well known restauranteur in London.
According to a report from Daily Mail in November 2019, the pair were in a serious relationship, with a source commenting, "[Josh is] a very private guy, so this is a big deal. It's serious. He's found the one."
According to Elle, the pair moved in together in New York in 2021, and have been photographed together holding hands and at public events in the years since.
However, as of 2024, it's hard to know whether Margot and Josh are still together - recent reports suggest he has moved back to the UK, while Margot is based in New York.
