While Tom Blyth captivates audiences as the romantic lead in Netflix's new film People We Meet on Vacation, his off-screen love story is drawing equal attention. The English actor is in a relationship with actress and former professional ballet dancer Daniela Norman.
From Ballet to Netflix: The Rise of Daniela Norman
Fans may recognise Daniela Norman from her role as June Park in the Netflix drama Tiny Pretty Things. Her portrayal of a ballet student came naturally, as the 29-year-old is a classically trained dancer herself. Norman began dance classes at the age of five and was invited into professional training when she was eleven, later performing with the prestigious English National Ballet before transitioning to acting.
In a 2021 interview with Mixed Asian Media, Norman explained her early start: "When I was younger I was super fidgety, so my mum put me in dance classes when I was 5." She added, "I danced a few times a week after school and weekends for years... that’s when I realised, 'Yes, I love this and want to work hard to become a professional.'"
A Private Romance in the Public Eye
Tom Blyth and Daniela Norman chose a high-profile setting to go public with their relationship, making their red carpet debut at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2025. Since then, the couple has kept most details of their romance private, though Norman frequently shares glimpses of their life together on her Instagram. She recently posted photos from a winter trip to the Maldives with Blyth and friends.
Norman was born in London to a Singaporean mother and a British father. She has spoken openly about her Asian heritage and its influence on her upbringing, noting her parents were somewhat strict. "My mother is from Singapore, and her heritage is Malay," she told Mixed Asian Media. "I did have a strict upbringing, but nothing I would change. It’s made me the hardworking person I am today." She also expressed a love for visiting Singapore, particularly for its world-renowned food.
On-Screen Chemistry vs. Real-Life Partnership
Blyth's latest project, People We Meet on Vacation, an adaptation of an Emily Henry novel, sees him star opposite Emily Bader. The film, which landed on Netflix in January 2026, follows two friends, Alex and Poppy, whose decade-long summer travel tradition is complicated by emerging romantic feelings. Viewers have been quick to praise the on-screen chemistry between Blyth and Bader.
However, it's clear the actor's real-life partnership is with Daniela Norman. As Blyth's star continues to rise with this heart-warming romcom, fans are delighted to learn more about the talented dancer and actress by his side. People We Meet on Vacation is available to stream now on Netflix.
