Although her focus is on entertainment, Ford's passion for art never withered. She still creates art pieces and makes herself available for commissions through Instagram.

The beginning of Carter and Ford's relationship remains unknown as they only confirmed their romance in 2017 through social media. At that time, Carter shared a photo with Ford, noting that they had a reunion by the rooftop. Ford later shared the same image on her personal account.
The couple has since been actively updating their respective Instagram profiles, sometimes sharing photos together, including their time during the lockdown. Carter previously said:
"I would not have wanted to be stuck in a flat with anyone else. Thank God for you."
They usually pay tribute to each other during special occasions, including birthdays, while maintaining privacy regarding everyday life.
Interestingly, Ford shared the screen with her partner in "Free Rein," where she played a horse trainer, Sam Myers, while Carter took on the role of Peter "Pin" Hawthorne.
