Emilia Clarke ‘splits’ from famous DJ boyfriend after four months of dating as ‘something wasn’t right’ between pair
Emilia Clarke has reportedly split from her boyfriend Sebastian ‘Bassi’ Fox after a four-month romance.
The Game of Thrones actress, 38, and the DJ have decided to end their relationship after realising “something wasn’t quite right”, sources told The Sun.
“Emilia and Seb aren’t together anymore. They had a fun time, but something just wasn’t quite right between them,” a source claimed.
The insider added that whilst the split has been “bruising”, there are “no hard feelings” between the pair, who are hoping to maintain a friendship.
The pair were first spotted together during a night out in London in November 2024.
Clarke had shared photos from a dinner during that time on her Instagram, telling her 28.2 million followers: “Well that’s reassuring.. birthdays a month later never tasted so good.”
“They gave it a good go but, in the end, they realised that perhaps they aren’t the right fit for each other,” the source explained to The Sun.
The insider revealed that Clarke has told friends they want to try and stay friends despite the split.
Clarke’s representatives are yet to comment publicly on the reports.
Fox found fame as a member of dream-pop band Mt. Wolf, which had previously featured in Clash Magazine’s Ones To Watch list.
The band, consisting of Fox, Stevie McMin and Al Mitchell, released their Red EP in 2015 to critical acclaim, followed by their debut album Aetherlight in 2017.
Mt. Wolf achieved notable success, winning both the PRS Momentum Fund and BPI Music Growth Export Scheme. They performed at major festivals including SXSW and Glastonbury.
The group toured extensively across the UK, Europe and America before Fox departed in 2020 to focus on solo projects.
Clarke is best known for her role as Daenerys Targaryen in HBO’s Game of Thrones, which earned her four Primetime Emmy Award nominations.
The actress has since appeared in numerous high-profile films including Terminator: Genisys, Solo: A Star Wars Story and Last Christmas.
Most recently, she starred in Marvel’s Secret Invasion series in 2023 and received acclaim for her performance in The Seagull in London’s West End.
In recognition of her charitable work with SameYou, a brain injury recovery charity she founded, Clarke was awarded an MBE in the 2024 New Year Honours.
Clarke’s last public relationship was with director Charlie McDowell in 2019.
