WHO IS NCUTI GATWA DATING?

Although Gatwa is famous thanks to his television and movie roles, he maintains a quiet profile as not so much is known about his private life.

Eric, the character Gatwa plays in "Sex Education," is gay, and there have been many suggestions that the actor could be gay. However, he has refused to talk about it in several granted interviews, including with The Guardian and Independent.

Recently, Elle reported that Gatwa used to date actress Jessica Hardwick, but their relationship was never confirmed. As of now, there is no news about the actor's relationship status, a situation that may not change soon, given that he is set to become an even busier man.
