The Truth About Emilia Clarke And Seth MacFarlane's Relationship
Emilia Clarke of "Game of Thrones" fame had a few fans excited when she started dating Seth MacFarlane in 2012. Although a strange pairing as noted by USA Today, the duo still managed to capture the love of some of their fans whenever they shared cute photos of themselves, per Creeto. Some fans, on the other hand, were not so impressed and showed their disapproval of the relationship. In an interview with Glamour, Clarke recalled a scenario in New York where a male fan walked up to them and said, "I'm a big fan of the show, and I'm not sure what you're doing with that guy." She added, "This guy started to give me advice," which Clarke did not appreciate.
MacFarlane, a director, screenwriter, and actor, who is best known for his TV shows "Family Guy" and "The Orville," was 39 at the time he started dating Clarke who was 25, writes Showbiz Cheat Sheet. Unfortunately, their relationship only lasted about 6 months, per The Daily Mail. The actress, however, didn't reveal why they ended the relationship, leaving fans to speculate for the longest time, before eventually talking about it in 2016.
Here's why Emilia Clarke and Seth MacFarlane ended their relationship
At the time Emilia Clarke and Seth MacFarlane's relationship ended, an insider disclosed to E! News that "It was really a location challenge" that put a strain on things and made the relationship diofficult to continue. "She has been in Europe shooting 'Game of Thrones' and he is based in California, so it was hard to make it work despite the distance. They have remained friends," the source said.
In a 2016 interview with Glamour, however, Clarke shared one of the many repercussions of dating a fellow celebrity like MacFarlane. According to Clarke, "a con is you have strangers giving you love-life advice." Which, as mentioned, didn't sit too well with the actress.
Clarke has since moved on from that phase of her life, though. In fact, she has gone on to date a few more people and was even recently rumoured to be with Jason Momoa. In all of her relationships, however, Clarke has maintained privacy as much as she possibly can, reports My London.
