Emilia Clarke and Charlie McDowell’s relationship explored
It’s unclear how the pair met, but we do know that they were first involved sometime in 2018.
In October of 2018, the Game of Thrones actress shared a pretty cryptic Insta snap, seeing some handsome stranger kiss her on the cheek. Fans-turned-amateur-sleuths quickly worked out that the mysterious man was, in fact, McDowell. How did they know? Honestly, no clue.
Emilie confirmed what fans already knew by tagging Charlie McDowell in a second IG post.
The relationship between the two was, unfortunately, short-lived. By March of 2019, it looked as though things had quietly ended as Charlie unfollowed Emilia on Instagram.
The two never publicly verified why the relationship ended and, as we know, McDowell went on to meet Emily in Paris star Lily Collins – the rest is history!
Charlie McDowell and Lily Collins are married
McDowell is now married to actress and daughter of Phil Collins, Lily.
The two tied the knot over the weekend in Dunton Hot Springs, Colorado. Collins announced the exciting wedding news via Instagram to her 23.5M followers!
Congrats to the happy couple!
