The only previous allusion Comer made to her dating life came in a 2018 interview with The Telegraph, during which the actress explained why she'll likely never leave her beloved home town. "My friends are in Liverpool, I have a boyfriend in Liverpool. He isn't in the industry so this is an interesting job for him to understand," she said at the time. Then, in March of 2020, she hinted at a "fairly new" relationship while speaking to British Vogue but refused to be drawn on the details.

All Comer would offer was, "I think love's the best. I'd been single for a while and just kind of going with the flow and doing my thing. That's the thing, isn't it? When you're relaxed and letting the universe do what it's doing, things kind of fall into place. Which is very much what happened. Which is great."
