Maisie Williams and boyfriend Reuben break up after 5 years of dating

Maisie Williams and her boyfriend, Reuben Selby, have broken up after five years together.

The “Game of Thrones” alum, 25, announced the split over a mirror selfie of her and the fashion designer posted on her Instagram Story Thursday.

“the end of an era 💔,” she wrote. “@reubenselby_ and i have decided to end our relationship.”

Williams explained that since she met Selby five years ago, their “connection always extended deeply into our shared, and separate creative careers… and it will continue to do so.”

“This decision is something we are so grateful for so as we can protect the magic, that we can’t help but emit, whenever we put our brains together,” she continued.

Selby reposted the Instagram Story and added a singular red heart emoji at the bottom.

The former couple confirmed their relationship in July 2019 when they showcased some PDA – which included Williams licking the palm of Selby’s hand – during a London outing.

That same summer, they attended Williams’ co-star Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas’ wedding, where the actress served as one of the two maids of honor.

The former power couple shared a love for fashion, as they were often staples at several Fashion Week shows over the years. They frequently wore matching outfits and even walked together for the Italian streetwear brand GCDS’ February 2021 show.
