Actress Aimee Lou Wood and her partner, actor Adam Long, stepped out for a glamorous and rare public appearance this weekend, attending the star-studded 2026 BAFTA Tea Party in Beverly Hills.
Red Carpet Glamour at the BAFTA Soiree
The couple turned heads at the prestigious event, held at the Four Seasons Hotel. Aimee Lou Wood, 31, looked sensational in a polka dot ensemble, featuring a miniskirt and a matching lace-up corset that highlighted her waist. She completed the Hollywood starlet look with chic sunglasses and a small black purse.
Her boyfriend, Adam Long, 34, cut a dashing figure in a pinstripe double-breasted blazer, which he paired with an open-collared teal shirt. The pair appeared deeply comfortable together, cosying up for photographers at the high-profile bash.
From On-Screen Lovers to Real-Life Romance
The couple's relationship began where many actor partnerships do: on set. They met and fell for each other while filming the BBC Three series Film Club. The show, which began production in late 2024 and aired in October 2025, starred Wood in the lead role of Evie, with Long playing her on-screen boyfriend, Josh.
Speculation about a real-life romance ignited in June 2025 after they were spotted sharing a kiss during a London coffee date. Fans noted subtle hints on social media, with Wood actively liking Long's posts and cheering on his charity run efforts.
The pair officially confirmed their relationship in September 2025, making their debut as a couple at the Emmy Awards. This public confirmation came after a year where Wood's personal life was under intense scrutiny due to her role in the hit HBO series The White Lotus.
Navigating Scrutiny and Past Relationships
Aimee Lou Wood's rise to global fame through The White Lotus brought unwelcome attention to her dynamic with co-star Walton Goggins, 54. Their on-screen chemistry and social media activity fuelled rumours, which were further complicated by reports of a feud after they unfollowed each other online.
Both actors eventually addressed the speculation in June 2025. Wood dismissed the obsession with Instagram activity as irrelevant, while Goggins, who is married to director Nadia Conners, stated he loved Wood "madly" as an important friend and colleague.
For Adam Long, best known for his role in Happy Valley, this marks a rare public relationship. Wood's last known romance was with her Sex Education co-star Connor Swindells; the couple split amicably in 2020 after two years together.
Reflecting on that breakup in an interview with Grazia, Wood noted that sometimes two personalities can create "unhealthy themes," and she has previously spoken about finding it challenging to maintain her sense of self while in a relationship.
