Matt Smith’s Dating Rumors
Over the past few years, speculation has linked Matt Smith to Caroline Brady, Emma Laird, and Lili Gattyan. Reports first surfaced in May 2021 suggesting that Smith was romantically connected to Caroline Brady.
According to online sources, their introduction was through Caroline’s sister, Millie Brady, who shared the screen with Smith in Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
However, neither Smith nor Caroline has addressed these rumors publicly, leaving their relationship status uncertain as of 2024.
In July 2023, rumors of a possible romance with Emma Laird began circulating after The Daily Mail published photographs of the two spending time together outside a pub near Smith’s North London residence. Despite the speculation, there was no official confirmation regarding a relationship between them.
By August 2023, Smith’s name was linked to US actress Lili Gattyan following reports from The Sun, which claimed they had been seen enjoying a night out in London. As with previous instances, Smith has not spoken about or confirmed any romantic involvement.

Over the years, Matt Smith has been in relationships with Mayana Moura, Daisy Lowe, and Lily James.
His romance with Mayana Moura reportedly lasted from 2008 to 2009. The Daily Mail indicated that their long-distance relationship became challenging, finally leading to their breakup.
A source at the time suggested that while they deeply cared for each other, the timing wasn’t right. In a 2010 interview with The Guardian, Smith acknowledged that they had parted ways.
Following this, he was linked to model Daisy Lowe between 2010 and 2014. In the same Guardian interview, he spoke highly of Lowe, calling her “a pretty lady” with “a good heart” who shared similar interests, including a passion for playing the guitar.
By 2014, Cosmopolitan reported that their demanding careers left little time for each other, which led to their breakup, even though they had a strong bond. The Independent later noted that shortly after their split, both became victims of a high-profile nude photo leak.
Smith and Lily James reportedly began dating in 2014 after working together on Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. However, by 2019, rumors of a breakup circulated after The Daily Mail suggested that their conflicting schedules put a strain on the relationship.
